It's not unusual for PWO's to sign some other type of letter to participate in NSD.

Mitch Cooper and Weiland will almost certainly be PWO.

Really makes me happy to see us beat Fleck for this kid.

I have absolutely no idea! And since he's just a PWO, I'm totally amped he decided to walk on with us instead of at Ohio State!
Kinda like CB Jeffrey Lubin is down to either accepting a scholarship with us, or accepting a PWO w/ Minnesota, I thought that was the boat we were in with Bubba.
Fantastic, no-risk get by the Zippers.
I wonder if he was offered a PWO with the expectation of it becoming something else, very soon.

No Brimage and no Suggs. Not good. I have to guess Bentley will be on scholly. Not sure why he would turn down one from YSU to walk on at Akron.
Facilities....hometown....uniforms/extra workout clothes....bowl game possibility...Chuck Amato.

I am not sure the journalism can get any lazier. Poor writing, no effort, beyond Twitter and ZN, and no imagination. I guess we will be stuck reading our opponents' articles for any stories of interest, again.

Akron football, nice stadium, stable coaching staff, could be a good fit. @ZipsFB https://t.co/rM8JcLbSYG https://t.co/wkb8tB20iG pic.twitter.com/X3EU6JL7zr

Damn right. Let's get some competition at the QB position. TW has more to give and he is capable of outstanding play. If he wants to coast I hope other guys take advantage.
I saw a pretty big rise in the level of his play from 2015 to 2016, before the injury. I hope he is as focused during this off-season.

Good to see Weiland commit. @Blue & Gold likes him and he seems pretty informed on local HS football. Gasser wasn't that impressive last year, IMO.
The Barto thing seems a tad odd. We are his only reported offer.
I wonder if he got homesick? It happens, seriously.
Gasser did a great job with directional punting but was a little short on leg and his height leaves little room for him in terms of handling a bad snap or field vision. I don't feel like he helped or hurt us, tremendously, last year.

FYI I cannot find anything new on Moris Lugo. Still appears it is between us and FIU (seems like we compete with them a lot).
247 Sports has him as a hard commit for us: http://247sports.com/Player/Moris-Lugo-89738

Wish we had offered Bentley earlier. Hope it's not too late. I think he's a good player, almost a carbon copy of Hoban's Jabari Taylor. Maybe we offered Bent after Taylor opted for Cincy.
I thought the same thing. We could have been pursuing transfers, too. It would be nice if we could score him. We really need to build depth on defense. I am still hoping we have a few good transfer scores before August. I would like to see us add one or two guys with experience on D before fall camp to give some of the recruits time to develop.

I underlined that because, let's be real here, Universities that participate in D-I athletics...or really NCAA athletics that have a religious affiliation, are basically it in name only. Lots of kids get scholarships to John Carroll and Notre Dame College here in NEO that have 0 affiliation to the religion/sect of those universities before, during, or after their time there. They go for the sports scholarship. Period.
I think 2 obvious exceptions are BYU and Liberty.
We offered SVSM DE, Eric Bentley 6'3" 255 lbs
He is listed as a hard commit to YSU

Don't see how he had the time
One Friday, one Saturday, one Sunday. Seems do-able. That being said, he definitely seems more interested in Iowa State and Michigan.

What several schools besides Iowa State did he visit last weekend ?
He had a tweet last week with about 3 schools (cannot remember which ones) but it is gone, now.
Official visit tomorrow!!! ?? @ZipsFB @MAC_Crootin

I really like our home game schedule, except for Ball State (meh) but I am glad we are at home for that one because Ball is improving and they are going to go hunting for us like we do Ohio and BGSU.
