Captain Kangaroo Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 GoZips.com has put up a Signing Day Central. It will provide live updates as the LOIs get faxed in. I love this idea. Yet another idea taken from ZipsNation. You're welcome Tom. Good luck with the $1.00 Buck-a-Roo Night..oh, I mean "Dollar Night"... next Wednesday! Next time, please use the name too. Using 1/2 of a good idea is not as good as using all of it. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Posted January 31, 2011 OL Andrew Hampton from Warren Harding was spotted on campus today making a visit. This is very bad for us. I know Andrew's parents, yes he's a very good kid and a hard worker, but in no way is he a D-I recruit. His only offers have been Patriot league schools like Bucknell and Holy Cross. Youngstown State isn't even giving him a look. Looks like we're getting a bit desperate. I don't think our coaching staff makes a distinction between MAC-level players and D-II players. They're all lumped together as "not what we used to get at Notre Dame". Quote
ZachTheZip Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Posted January 31, 2011 Hopefully Ianello and staff are using this weeks' recruiting rules to their advantage. Coaches are allowed to make an unlimited number of phone calls to recruits from 7 AM today until 7 PM Friday. Normally you can only make a certain number of calls per week. Quote

Any chance he is being looked at for those positions? Quote

Any chance he is being looked at for those positions? Historically if you look at a lot of our offensive linemen, they were brought in at 245 lbs, and beef up to 300 by their redshirt freshman year. Kemme is a good example. If the kid is athletic, with a good frame, he's fine. Quote
Indians06 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 He has D-III and small FCS offers. http://www.scoutingohio.com/index.php/view...e&user=1598 Good kid, good grades, certainly now going to put us on the map for football. If we can get that running back who's verbaled to YSU from Warren Harding, that would be huge. The kid has all the instincts that Boom Herron has at Ohio State. He would be a nice get and a nice steal from our friends at Ytown. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Posted January 31, 2011 The Ohio North/South all-star game roster has been released. O-linemen Andrew Bohan and Dylan Brumbaugh are on the North squad. CB Bryce Cheek, QB Kyle Pohl, and WR Tyler Williams are on the South. Quote

eguins Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Talked to the guy who told me former WGH LB Davion Rogers (3-Star to Michigan) appeared to be heading to YSU. The next day the Youngstown Vindicator reported it. Since he is a WGH guy, he has some sources up in Warren. He said Hymes and Folmar plan to fulfill their commitment to YSU. Hearing Folmar may have to sit out a year to get his grades in order. That is what Cardinal Mooney OL, Eric Franklin, did this past year. He too had an offer to Akron. Hymes just picked up an offer to Miami (OH) as well. Quote
Indians06 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Hymes wants to play d1 football. There's a reason Harding kids don't go Iaa. That's below them. Not sure of your sources but they're wrong. He will end up going to Miami Ohio or Akron Quote

We'll see if you're talking when YSU signs 4 WGH players Wednesday and Akron signs Andrew Hampton to preferred walk-on status. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Posted February 1, 2011 Updated the list to include James Price and Zach Paul. Two spots left. let's hope Ianello has some tricks up his sleeve. Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 I hope he holds back at least one scholarship as a contingency for a late qualifier/change of heart/etc. I'd much prefer that to simply giving it out to the next available player over today and tomorrow. Quote
Indians06 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Two spots left hopefully one goes to Mr. Hymes at Warren Harding. My sources tell me he's coming here. Quote
Dr Z Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Two spots left hopefully one goes to Mr. Hymes at Warren Harding. My sources tell me he's coming here.Demond's Rival page list one offer. Link from Hawk talk. Quote
Indians06 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 His scouting Ohio page lists Miami and Akron as well. http://www.scoutingohio.com/index.php/view...mes%40yahoo.com This kid's the real deal. After seeing his game vs. Massillon it shows what he can be. You see a lot of people run for 300 yards against garbage teams, but I can only remember one Maurice Clarett doing it at WGH history. I'm not a Harding fan, but follow Trumbull County football. He's up there with Boom Herron, I've said that for 3 years. Lucky for us he was injured a little this year. Look at the comparisons between he and Boom coming out of high school Hymes: 5'10 Boom: 5'9.5 Hymes: 4.49 40 time Boom: 4.55 Hymes: 190 weight Boom: 198 Hymes: 320 bench Boom: 355 Hymes: 35" Vertical Boom: 37" Hymes: 1,359 sr year rushing yards Boom: 1,550 I think the evidence is there, Hymes is obviously a D-I player with all of his offers, stats and times.

Dr Z Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 IMO, Demond's film does not match his 40 time. Quote
Indians06 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 I've seen his closing speed in games. Made Massillion look like a middle school. Quote
cade172488 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 I know most of you guys agree to disregard stars and are looking at other scholarships some recruits are getting, but do you remember how many DI offers Brian Wagner had out of high school? He had just one to Akron. He turned out pretty good after a redshirt year. Quote
Indians06 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Hymes will fax his LOI to Akron Quote
Dr Z Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Hymes will fax his LOI to AkronIf true, I'm giving you the Dr Z 5-star recruiting Hymes-updater. Quote
eguins Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Guess my sources were right and your sources were WRONG! Rogers, Hymes, Folmar, May to YSU from WGH! http://twitter.com/#!/YSUsports/status/32814506849607682 Quote
Big Zip Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Got to say losing players to YSU certainly doesn't exude confidence in I-Coach. You out facility them, you out schedule them and you play in a higher division yet you can't bring home the bacon? WTF! Quote
Dr Z Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Rogers, Hymes, Folmar, May to YSU from WGH! http://twitter.com/#!/YSUsports/status/32814506849607682Hymes looked too slow for Div 1 IMO. He looked more like a YSU player on film to me. Quote
