Lee, I don't understand the tone of your post. Why the "rolled eyes" before mentioning the Ursuline player? And why can't you mention his name? I hope I can. For everyone else, the player's name is Allen Jones. He is listed by Rivals as 5-10, 197 with a 4.49 40. He was the starting tailback on Ursuline's state championship team last fall.Allen Jones because the kid/family has some bigger irons in the fire than Akron and up until the last couple of weeks,Akron had shown very, very little interest according to the family... they don't want to mess up anything...all of a sudden he is on the sidelines at the spring game...he knows AA and Bruney...he is a solid citizen...he is a big strong kid with some speed..the Zips staff needs to put on a full court press...he is going to visit illinois and b.g....

there's a kid at ursuline who will be a senior this year...can't mention his name..he's a RB who is getting serious looks from illinois,penn state,bg...his sister is at Uof A on a track scholly...look for him...he is interested in U of A but if they don't hurry....

actually i want to see AA but i know he won't play...i want to find out how close he is...

we seem to, every year talk about the same things...my biggest beef with JD is that he has not been able to adjust his thinking to the 'talent' he has available...if he has the players to run a 3-3-5 run it...he hasn't had that the last few years...same thing on the offensive side...he stays too long with players who can't play 'his' schemes with the players he has available...anyway, here's hoping there are enough 'backers to do what the new d-coord wants or is told to do...i still want to see a 'straight' 4-3 with a true safety who can headhunt...nobody is talking about that...Bryan Williams was played out of position all year last year...he can make it at the next level as a true safety...check the workout results...

anybody know how AA is doing? ...ready for the opener? he is the key to the offense...

here is hoping that unless somebody offers more than the pissants did for edwards that the browns keep him...nothing against hixon but if someone can screw edward's head on straight he has a lot of upside that hixon doesn't..dominic is a good system player...just not the browns system...i'm hoping that since the winslow fungus is gone,edwards will either latch on to a better 'mentor' or play his ass off for a new contract...

so...what about the defense!?...is the JC coming in going to play the corner? who are the safeties going to be?...is Fleming's kid going to play?...the D will determine how far this team goes...anybody got anything?

That's another thing. KD isn't half as colorful as Tony. I remember an Akron City cop telling me about the time he pulled Tony over driving on High Street late one night (or early one morning). The cop took a look at Tony's companion and asked Tony if he knew the name of the person sitting next to him. Tony replied, "Sure, that's Linda." The cop recognized the individual from previous brushes with the law and said, "No, Tony that's Frank." :blink: i went to the games at memorial hall from around '68 on...when Wyatt Webb was there and the Zips were a real force in the 'college' division memorable hall was PACKED...when they played Kentucky Weslayan,Philadelphia Textile,Gannon,Evansville etc etc...that was a pit...no team wanted to play there...

i don't normally get on the b.ball site...but...the ZIPS showed a lot last night....if i am KD i am on the phone to gonzaga and trying to set up a contract for regular season games...i'd go for a 2-1-2...go to skeedaddle next year...as long as they agree to come here the following year...then go back to skeeedaddle the third year...the way the ZIPS played these guys they could start a rivalry that would put butts in the seats..the ZIPS should only improve the next 3 years...the confidence this program should get should carry over for a while...

all i'd say is that its some instant credibility for the program...i'm sure walt didn't need the money...

cute

no argument from me

if AA can't go who is going to carry the mail consistently?...there ain't no 1,200 yd backs on this squad unless he can go..

one of the 5 best athletes i have seen play at Akron...has to be #1 or#2 best corner at least...maybe victor green is there with him...

i talked to a guy i work with who lives near the coach and talks to him fairly regularly...the gist of what he is getting is that this is the year brookhart has to do it or...thats why he brought in all the JC's...says as of now bain will play...worried about the running game...if AA doesn't come back...look out...

couldn't beat 'em in football the last 2 years...now fuffalo beats the b.ball team in Akron and is rolling in the MAC...that team up north...

He probably makes twice what JD makes just to be a coordinator at a BCS school. not hardly...

if AA is fully healthy he saves the offense next year...but...coming back from an injury like he had is iffy at best...w/o kennedy and his 100+/game no running backs except AA have any significant time...

uconn?...guess he didn't want to stay here very badly...not like thats the upper echelon...better than here...but he must see 'the writing on the wall'

I wonder how many of the almost 400 dudes on the team rosters have ever heard of it. i heard a story about this league on the radio a couple of months ago...thought it was a joke...

????

yes it was...the zips are that bad...as is the mac...don't knock any of those mac teams that went to a bowl and oh ya..had a winning season...those teams you think are so bad beat beat the zips......at least the restrooms at the INFO will be better...

:blink: god no I-AA teams please!!!

read somewhere that fleming was up for a head coaching job back east..brookhart isn't recruiting lb's so far...need a safety who can 'headhunt' in a 4-3...kiel fleming?
