Good work, @Balsy.
This would be a good basic article for GT to write to get conformation or corrections. Most reporters covering a college football team would.

Hey guys and gals, i don't get deep in all the high school backgrounds, was wondering if some of you that know this stuff waaay better than me can give your opinions on which of the new Zips will make the biggest impact on the team the quickest? Are any of them first year starters, or next-in-liners, or are most of them looking at getting their feet wet in 2017. Just askn'...
I was thinking about this question, again, today. I think we could also see Dre Williams at some point in 2017. We don't have anyone else on the roster that his style of play.

What a terrible thing for him to go through.

And Newman Williams to DT. Unless, of course, we want a 3-star recruit to just sit the bench for four years. That could be the master plan, I suppose.
You do realize he spent a fair amount of time injured last year, right?

Yeah...starting to throw in June will likely still be a slow rehab process.

I think that is the one area that the Zips have not showed anything to excite me in the off season. The linebacking corps can't be much worse then last season and there are a few transfers that could really bring the talent level up.
I actually think we might be deeper with talent in the deco dart . Ore than anywhere else on the roster. There was some very good play from younger players last season.

Northwestern to host Akron in 2018, Miami (OH) in 2022
"The Zips will receive a $1.2 million guarantee for the game, according to a copy of the contract obtained from Akron via a public records request."

I have mixed feelings about this. 1) We need the money. We aren't going get a million in ticket sales. 2.) I hate what ESPN3 does. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it. 3) The move to online viewing might be a win-win/ We would still get some money and perhaps be a better schedule. With more online viewing occurring it, it might not be as damaging as you would think.

It's really nice to see the ABJ cover our 3 star commits.

Awesome! Hopefully, watching Warren Ball play this year will inspire him to want to be the replacement.
(Here's hoping Warren lives up tot he hype.)

I wish he would have asked if any team interviewed him at the combine. My guess is no, but you never know. I do know one team that interviewed three MAC players, but Lane was not on their list. I did some googling, but come up empty.
I don't know if it was at the combine, but he did say, he has talked to the Browns.

Here is an interview with Deandre Scott

Check out MAC player, Antonio Brown's 40 times. Recently the highest paid receiver in the NFL was asked why he is so successful coming out of the MAC..."I work harder than anybody else." Jerome has the talent, if he works as hard as AB, I have no doubt he can have an NFL career. There is a great interview with Richard Sherman I saw this year, I can't seem to locate it right now, he was asked who the toughest receiver to cover was, his answer was AB, he went on to explain why and mentioned it had nothing to do with his speed because he didn't think he was that fast. Does it help to be the fastest guy on the field? Sure. Do you need to be? No. Underwear olympics will continue to create this argument.
I believe this is 100% accurate. At this point, it's in Jerome's hands. If he remains humble and learns how to really learn his craft, whatever position he ends up a, he can succeed, but he will have to work harder and smarter than he probably knows how to, at the moment. It's not a knock on Jerome, but the reality of learning what it takes to succeed at the next level. Hopefully, he finds a good mentor.

What you showed there takes you to the 2016 roster
They need to fix that. It's the primary navigation of the website.

If he had been clocking 4.61 before declaring for the draft, Jerome got some bad advice.
Wish he would have stayed one more year & refined his skills.
He had the fastest time for a receiver over 220 lbs. He mentioned that he had been clocked, by hand at something like 4.42 but conceded that he knew laser might be different. I think the more he got into this process, the more he seems to have realized he made a mistake. He doesn't sound overly-confident about getting drafted.

you must be viewing the 2016 roster, Chapman is a WR on the 2017 roster

Interesting quote:
“Get the degree because they can’t take that from you. Coming out, it was fine, but kinda looking back if I had another chance, I probably would have stayed.”

So, obviously the mobile and desktop versions of the website are out of sync.

Perusing the roster... Newman Williams still a TE...
They haven't updated it for a while. Chapman is still listed as QB. That doesn't mean that Williams will change, but you have to take the roster with a grain of salt.

Yes. Jerome Lane scored almost untouched when he lined up at RE, IIRC.
