hey yo

Continuity? Remember it is the MAC! Great conference but still a stepping stone conference(last in salary excluding Temple). JD made some great hires and people have come to get them. It happens all over the MAC i.e. Western Michigan with 3 new coaches. Taver Johnson - DC Miami OH to Ohio State. One thing, JD held most of his staff together for three seasons. Considering the success that Akron has had - that is pretty good. He still has kept his OC in Moorhead and his DC in Fleming. That is a big deal. Whatever may be said this is a good staff with good recruiters and JD will continue to lose coaches because of the good hires he makes. It's the way of the MAC! Don't think it won't happen to KDambrot too! Someone is going to get pulled on!

per a source - Vincent Hill of Friendly HS in Maryland is signing with Akron!! Good job Zips! This kid will be an excellent player. Still a week left though.

Who is this kid that Akron did not offer. More times than not these schools (MAC-Big Ten) are well aware of a kid, but there is more to it than talent (i.e. grades and test score, commits,).Also, Akron may have already committed up at the position this kid playsGary Pride ATH early commit great catch from exceptional programVincent Hill WR early commit This kid would usually be untouchable (grades?)Jerome Royal WR early commit Jumped on it right awayJalil Carter DB DEC commit had been his #1 choice all alongIf the kid is that interested in Akron then he should make a phone call to office and find out where he is on there board?Akron does stay at home - look at this year's recruits

Need better assistant coaches? The season was disappointing but who would you suggest replacing. We all must remember JD's assistants are the ones bringing these top conference recruiting classes to Akron. I think he has a great group that will produce more championships starting in 07!

Continuity is being established with this program. They have played inconsistent ball all year long but lets also be realistic and state that the conference has a lot of parity. This program is headed f in the right direction - and it has the right leader in JD. Akron is going to become a serious contender in the coming seasons i.e. Boise State. Get the stadium on campus with some dorms wrapped around it and the football program will take off people.

go to vandaleysports.com go to ohio message board. They are really getting excited about this game obviously. Expecting possible sellout. It is time for the Zips to turn up the heat -JD seems to get these boys rollin in November! Those are the games to remember. Get 'em ZIPS!

You look at Akron as a whole and you see the chance to make it to a bowl game if some things fall in place. You speak of the secondary being poor. Outside of a horrid Can't game - when have the corners been torched - yes the offense is undisciplined - but they w on period. I always celebrate a victory. those kids don't always win great but they win. Last time I checked - holding someone to roughly 202 yds. (take away 2nd and 3rd string drive) is pretty good. Remember the other team has scholarship players too! See you in OHIO or let's fill the stands in two weeks vs. WMU. 20000+
