Dr Z Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Prospects:Akron is still in the running for other quality RBs; Bruce Frierson, a 5-8 180-pound speedster from Cleveland Glenville; Chris Ifante, a 6-foot 210-pounder from the Pocono Mountains (PA) and Leon Wright from St. Petersburg (FL). The Zips are still in the running for an impressive group of receivers; Quindell Dean from Uniontown (PA); DJ Henderson from Jacksonville (FL); Terrence McCrae from Connellsville (PA); and Jason Simmons, a 6-6 200-pounder from Matawan (NJ). On the TE front, Akron is hoping to land 6-7 245-pound Seth Price from Grove City (OH). Other offensive line prospects include Brandon Frey from Lombard (IL) and Chris Hanna from Pittsburgh Gateway (PA).On the defensive line, Lamar Mapp from Springfield (OH) South is one of the top DE prospects in the Midwest, is close to giving a verbal to Akron while D-line prospect Ernest Hodge from the Hargrave Military Academy (VA) is also being highly recruited. Akron is still recruiting several high profile DB prospects, included are Derrell Johnson from Youngstown (OH) Cardinal Moody; Bryant Milligan from Cleveland Glenville; Elijah Fields from Pittsburgh Duquesne; Josh Moore from Pompano Beach (FL) Ely and Cart Kelly from Pittsburgh Baldwin.Comments:Last year several publications hailed Akron as having the best class in the MAC while my publication rated the Zips #2. Needless to say, they had an excellent crop - certainly their best ever. Coming off of their first ever MAC championship and first ever bowl appearance, look for Akron to have another very solid class that will likely rank very high once again.

MRasor0200 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 This assessment would please me more if the writer didn't give rave reviews for every single team in the MAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckzip Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 This assessment would please me more if the writer didn't give rave reviews for every single team in the MAC. I thought the exact same thing.Every school is going to have the top class/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBleedMACGreen Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 This topic has come up on the BG and Ohio boards as well. One fan on the Ohio board pointed out the rise of the MAC's quality in a steady increase in the Sagarin Rankings over the past 5-6 years. This would make sense considering Nick says the talent that MAC schools are getting today is much better than the talent of 5-7 years ago when he started doing these recruiting previews for the MAC.
