johnnyzip84 Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 The 1st link is Rasor's blog entry. The 2nd is a Rivals page on him. If we're fortunate enough to land this guy, I sure hope he sees the field and plays with a lot more heart than another highly touted DL who will go unnamed (hint: his last name doesn't rhyme with pain).Rasor BlogRivals Link Quote
Dr Z Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 Razor, hits the nail on the head. Picture a four-man defensive front of Almondo Sewell, Ryan Bain, Henderson and Shawn Lemon. That is a phenomenal line, even for a high-level BCS team. Then consider the gobs of depth behind those four. My point is, it would be a fireable offense for J.D. Brookhart to maintain the 3-man defensive line with that kind of personnel.Agree 1000 percent.I bet the LB's and DB's look good then. They might even have a chance to become "play makers" Quote
ctmjbowes@sbcglobal.net Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 Come on big man! Just get these kids on the InfoSumma construction site. If that, along with the field house and recent NFL successes from Akron, doesn't seal the deal with many of the kids who visit, I'll be very surprised.GO ZZZZZIIIIIPPPPSSSS!SeeTeeZipper Quote
zipboy Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 I wonder if we will try to grayshirt several kids. With all of the coaching changes, it seems like we may get even a couple more kids to land our way. With 17 slots, we are almost full now and we usually get 2-3 kids at the end who have high profile backgrounds. It is unfortunate that we did not have the normal 22-25 to give this year. But I agree, that front line would be something. Quote

A grey shirt comes in during the spring had has full eligibility for spring practice. It's a huge advantage if you ask me for any incoming guy and saves a year of eligibility. Quote
Zippysgotagun Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 I don't think I like the grayshirt idea. Telling a kid "don't worry about a full complement of classes" for a year then expecting success both on and off the field the next doesn't jive with me. Quote

Telling a kid "don't worry about a full complement of classes" for a year then expecting success both on and off the field the next doesn't jive with me.It allows them to ready themselves for a college work load while getting early practice time with the team. Nothing but benefits if you ask me... Quote

Nothing but benefits if you ask me...UA offered Eugene Jarvis a Grayshirt. K.e.n.t. offered him a scholarship...and he went to K.e.n.t. Grayshirting is fine, but you run the risk of losing the recruit if someone offers him a scholarship from the get-go. Quote
