KentZip Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 Sorry if this is old news and I missed it:Zips' rookies shone The University of Akron men's golf freshmen class -- which includes Stratford's Scott Landreth -- was recently rated as the second best recruiting class in NCAA Division I golf through the fall season according to Golfstat.com. Ranked by relative strength in the division, Akron's freshmen class impact rating was a 384.679, only behind Alabama (612.17). San Diego State took the third place nod with a 377.291 rating. Akron lost three seniors to graduation and coach Nick Goetze said, "I knew we had to bring in a talented class of freshmen to build for the future. I'm excited to see our recruiting efforts producing good results." Three freshmen finished in the Zips' top five, including Landreth. The newcomers had a 73.41 scoring average through five fall tournaments. Landreth finished second on the Zips squad averaging 73.45 through 11 rounds with his best mark coming at the Hummingbird Intercollegiate (Nov. 3-4) where he led UA to a third-place finish, Akron's highest mark of the fall season. Individually, Landreth finished 11th, carding two rounds of 70-73, 143 (+1). Quote
