And if Tyson likes him, maybe he likes his decisions too. Quote

Any thoughts? Another Hiller (kid from our backyard makes good at another MAC school?) I hate to see that. Quote

Buckzip Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 How many QB's do we need? Rogers, Miller, Nicely, and now 2 more for this class. Quote

Rogers, Miller, Nicely, and now 2 more for this class.Akron has had good luck moving QBs to other positions. Quite often a high school QB is the best athlete on the team, especially at smaller schools.Anyway, I think we'll see more verbals soon, as kids start to realize that the spots are disappearing fast.

This really seems to be the dawn of a new era in Zips recruiting. I don't ever recall this many early verbals, let alone this many early QUALITY verbals! Quote
ZachTheZip Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Posted July 27, 2009 Rivals says that coach Harris was the one who recruited him. Quote
zff Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 I heard a rumor last week Miller might be gone. This could explain two QB's. Or one will play a different position. I remember J.D. saying after CJ and CJac He would not take two QB's in the same class again. Quote
RootforRoo44 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 I'm excited for Schrock next year though personally. That's a great pickup, anyone who has seen him play will agree i'm sure. Quote
GP1 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 I have a question. If we offer and get a verbal, do we still have to give the kid a scholarship? 6' 1" is not tall enought for a D-1A QB. 13th best QB in Ohio, we can do better than that. We should be getting one of the top three or four QBs in the state yearly or at least every other year. 13 is way down the list.... Quote

You do that...I'll go with Walt Harris' opinion that maybe this kid is better than #13. Quote
g-mann17 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 This was a below the fold front page of the Sports Section article in the real paper.Schrock and Hoobler pressIt's nice to see these articles. Also nice to hear that the stadium and facilities really do make an impact. Quote

However, word gets around when you start doing that and it will affect future recruiting in a negative way. Quote

He is not good enough to be a DI QB. He did run a 4.6 40, however, he has never played outside of QB.I wasn't impressed when I have watched him play, I would venture to say he will never take a snap at QB. Quote

I'll go with my old saying..."Regardless of what our wives/girlfriends tell us, size matters." 6' 1" is too small for D-1A football. Quote

I was only commenting on his height. There have been tons of good college QB's that have been 6'1" and under. Quote
ctmjbowes@sbcglobal.net Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 GP1, with your certainty about this player's ability to play for the Zips and in the MAC, why is it again that Walt Harris is the Offensive Coach and you aren't?GO ZIPS!STZ Quote
zipboy Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 I for one am excited that the guy can punt Quote
ziptrumpet87 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 And who's to say he won't grow an inch or two? Quote
