Article from the Beacon on the Spring game - https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/akron-zips-football-coach-joe-095601341.html

Oh my, photos of the scrimmage for opponents to scour for intel!

Right now, I've seen two of the current Zips who combined played 20 minutes a game last year. I've never seen Dustin Ford be a head coach. There are still roster spots to be filled. As such, I'm not quite ready to make predictions.

Investment or charity, I am much more likely to invest in a program where I see positive results.

I suspect Ford will follow Groce's lead and bring in the most talented kids (with character) he can find and adapt the system to his talent.

Heisman really got the donors out for the Day of Giving in 1894. Oddly, I haven't received an email, text or call about this year's Day of Giving.

Just the name makes me cringe. The end of his time with the Zips was not great.

Here's hoping the kid can stay healthy. It's never good when your college highlights video is under 2 minutes.

We get to keep Dustin's kid as a manager for free! He played almost as many minutes as Connor.

I'd heard about the Fulford thing a couple of weeks ago. I'm a little surprised as Marshall seemed to be a homecoming for him.

WKU must have some serious NIL money. Tops? LOL.

Sharron to Western Kentucky. They must have some serious NIL money because that's not an improvement in program.

Some info on Exavier Wilson- K-State’s lone domestic prep signee in the 2025 class, Wilson redshirted his first season with the Wildcats. A consensus three-star prospect, Wilson was ranked as the No. 10 overall player in Missouri by 247Sports. https://www.kstatesports.com/news/2025/9/24/mens-basketball-five-things-to-know-exavier-wilson

Now where does Sharron land? Did he show enough to get to get WVU's attention? Marshall? Follow JG to Charleston?

Well, the name of the guy who committed this morning was actively out there while Dustin said he couldn't ID today's visit. That's a pretty strong indicator they're different players. I think it is promising Eric was there and disappointing and telling Sharron was not. Players I saw were Zach, Marvin, Chabi, Cody Head and two of the 3 red-shirts. I heard that 2 of 3 freshman commits have stayed committed while one decommitted, though I can't identify which.

150 or so people. Both Mahaffeys present.

Mahaffeys are at the presser.

I think the NCAA is having a BOGO transfer portal deal on D2 and D3 players.

Sendy followed the Zips lead and went up tempo this year. The Flushes averaged 11 points more per game this season than in 2024-25.

The Randolph rumor has been floating since late last week. We'll see. I wonder if we'll see some big transfer news, or non-transfer news, at the presser on Wednesday.

i wish the kid luck and hope he proves me wrong.

Just...wow.

No, not at all. I'm saying what I said, that the Spring game should be made such a good time that it will make you want to buy tickets to come back to see the team and duplicate the fun experience. Looks like they accomplished that in Brimfield.

Gilbert was nothing special when the Zips played Concord.

Hopefully, he's that quality of a player. My response was for those who seem disappointed.
