Blue & Gold Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Well, Patrick Nicely makes his official visit to UA today. What a crappy-awful day for an official visit!!! 2 feet of snow and -27 wind chill factor outside!!! Wow! Quote
ctmjbowes@sbcglobal.net Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 At my house on the west side of Akron, it was -10.8 when I got up this morning. Woohoo!GO ZIPS!STZ Quote

What a crappy-awful day for an official visit!!! 2 feet of snow and -27 wind chill factor outside!!! Wow!Yeah, let's hope he doesn't make any ACC visits before signing day since I saw at one point he was holding out hope for an offer from one of those schools. Quote
Z.I.P. Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 At my house on the west side of Akron, it was -10.8 when I got up this morning. Woohoo!GO ZIPS!STZWell, if you think it's bad there, you should be in Hawai'i. The governor shut down all schools and told state workers to stay home today, because of a high wind warning! I can't believe what whimps these people are. I had to walk to school through snow up to my waist! Quote

rocketfootball Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Nicely just committed to Akron guys. Congrats! Quote
ctmjbowes@sbcglobal.net Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 All right! GO ZIPS! Thanks for the heads up rocket.SeeTeeZipper Quote
Zipmeister Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Rivals.com reports the Nicely signing, but Scout.com does not. What really has me worried, however, is that neither site is confirming that we have locked up the Tonganator (he has monster hands)! Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Rivals.com reports the Nicely signing, but Scout.com does not.Nicely committed last night.What really has me worried, however, is that neither site is confirming that we have locked up the Tonganator (he has monster hands)!He committed. There is nothing to worry about. At least not more than any other commitment.Personally - I'm worried about Jarvis Givens. Rivals says he's committed, but I haven't heard anything about him. Quote

Dr Z Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 4 minute video. Seems to be a good runner. Holds the ball high.Nicely makes his choice, againESPN grading system gives him a 71Was Columbus State looking for an Ohio guy to back up their Pittsburgh QB? Quote
Zip N' Dots Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Does anyone see a few QBs leaving with this signing? Quote
g-mann17 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Does anyone see a few QBs leaving with this signing?Well, here is the thing, unless promised otherwise, he will likely redshirt this year (210 he needs to put on about 15-25 pounds). Plus Jacq is the qb this year. Chances are Rodgers would have to battle with him for the 2010 season. I think that is what he was promised an open battle to start next year. So maybe, if Rodgers thinks he might lose the battle, but I doubt, he will have the most experience and I think overall JD prefers having an upperclassman taking the snaps. Now, Miller, he might look for a transfer. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Does anyone see a few QBs leaving with this signing?If the QB's are competitors, they'll stay. If not, they'll transfer.Funny thing when you transfer...wherever you go, you still don't have any guarantees. There's always going to be 3-4 QB's who want the ball. Quote
GoZips88 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Watching the video, I LOVE how he did not hesitate once he made the decision to tuck and run. Height, poise, confidence, mobility, arm, accuracy, intelligence ... fun to dream a little, isn't it?! Nice commit for the Zips. The competition at QB should be interesting in August 2010. Quote
gozips19 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 watching the film he has good touch on the ball and once he gets his foot work down (it's really bad) he'll increase his arm strength. in the rivals article he is quoted that he knows he will red shirt and he is fine with that. this is a great pick up and this class is looking very strong!

Perhaps we should be recruiting their center. Quote

johnnyzip84 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Nicely says nice things about UAI think you meant to say that Nicely talked nicely about UA This reminds me of an ex-Zip O-linemen from New Philly named Brock Knisely. I think the fact that he played at UA has caused a few of us to misspell Patrick's name during his recruitment. Anyway, I used to work with Brock and we would always tease him that a certain Asian fan was always extolling his gridiron prowess, as in"that Brock Knisely, he brock very nicely" Quote
timmyboy Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Was just checking through rivals and noticed that nicely has moved up the the 26th best player in the whole state. Thats ahead of a number of players who had made commitments to large bcs schools. looks like he could be the pick up of the class for us. Quote
ZippyRulz Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 Nicely says nice things about UAAnd Vidovic too. It pays to be ahead of other schools in the visitation sequence !http://www.maxpreps.com/FanPages/Content/A...4a-8600cfc7c06c Quote
