I don't know if we just wanted to throw our hat in there for the hell of it, or if our coaching staff has gone completely delusional. This kid has 44 scholarship offers as a junior. Fourty-four.

You can't win the lottery if you don't play.

I have been plenty critical of iCoach thus far. However, recruiting is supposedly his bread and butter. Show us what you can do. Let's get competitive and successful in a hurry!

Go Zips!

The lottery is a tax on the stupid.

Recruiting players costs time and effort on the part of the coaching staff. Goldman has zero interest in going to Akron. How much effort would be needed to change his mind? Would that effort be better spent recruiting players who would still excel at the MAC level but aren't being turned into head cases by the intensity of the spotlight?

If we really are serious about going after him, our recruiting pitch needs to be focused on keeping him grounded. We offer a chance for him to be a standout and play immediately, while not being bombarded by the media and bright lights. He can still get into the NFL from here, but will learn what it's like to play for the underdog and with that chip on your shoulder. If he is level-headed and wants to remain that way and not get caught up in hype, Akron is his best choice.
