33Akrondad7 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I hear it's a done deal. Will he be able to play this year? I wonder if he will switch to defense. So many questions........ Why did he come home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33Akrondad7 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Does Akron have JR days? What is the depth at LB? Just putting this vid out there if any coaches are on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K92 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I really like that the staff is going after local kids. I would think if the ship gets turned and area players start playing a hand in that improvement, good things are bound to happen. I also remember the saying about ifs & buts...but it is rather reassuring that Coach Bowden is following through on the plan he laid out from day one. It still all boils down to winning, but I like the strategy and hopefully some of these local boys will make an impact like Cody Grice has. @Blue & Gold It would definitely ease a few of my worries about this year's small recruiting class if we could learn the status of some of last year's non-qualifiers. Thanks for continuing to ask the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks to me as if they (ESPN) had him listed as a Zip based on his initial verbal (which he took back) and they never bothered to update after he de-commited.

ZachTheZip Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 247sports.com is reporting that JUCO DT Keontae Hollis has given a soft verbal to Akron.

Looks like he has a visit to South Alabama upcoming, but is currently leaning towards Akron. Rivals.com has Keontae listed as a 3-star DT. He's given us a verbal, but is still, apparently, taking a visit to South Alabama today (1/25). Let's hope he doesn't enjoy himself too much down there. Go Zips!

Zipgrad01 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Better authority than the newspaper? Maybe he is coming as a preferred walk on? Just because he is coming here, doesn't necessarily mean that it is on scholarship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 That should do it for LB's for this class with Jerome & Deon'tae giving verbals. Zipmeister should be proud with these two very nice-sized (& fast) LB's. According to Michael Beaven of the ABJ: Jerome Lane 6'5" 210. Deon'tae Moore 6'4 216 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deon'tae Moore 6'4 216 Add 25 to 30 pounds on each and you have legitimate D1 LB size. Or we could cut both of them in half and have four Akron-sized corners.

Dave in Green Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Maybe he is coming as a preferred walk on? Just because he is coming here, doesn't necessarily mean that it is on scholarship. This story says that Logan Cox (Akron) is one of several "Division I scholarship players who have been offered from the Mountain State."
