This is a huge pickup, did anyone see the other schools on the list? Hell those schools are so impressive I can't even remember their names as I type this.

Another Ianello diamond in the rough?

Seriously what are these? high schools? I never heard of them and I follow D3 sports

[ZachTheZip]

He's located in the middle of nowhere. It's very possible he was overlooked.

I'll trust that the coaching staff knows what they're doing.

All you have to remember are these two things:

Coach Amato is from PA

Coach Amato is the Linebackers Coach.

Period. Done. Finished. 'Nuff said.

Let the good times roll.

Did you read what I posted? Coach Amato is not going to bring in any players, let alone a LB, that he doesnt believe can play for us.

Bowden stated he was going to acknowledge all scholarships promised by Ianello. I'm sure there are plenty of these recruits they really didn't want.

What is the world has led you to believe that Ianello offered this player?

I'll have you know that out in PA they refer to East Stroudsburg as Linebacker U. Lite.

I promise you they are not going to give any player a scholarship that they do no believe will contribute to the team. Period. And Dylan was not offered by Ianello. Again, Amato is from PA... Amato is one of, if not the best, linebacker coach in the country.

'Nuff said!

Thanks NZF! The majority of us get it.

This kid is also a "dadgum" good wrestler. Our coaches love players who are good wrestlers.

Another local article.

This sentence is interesting:

"Evans, also a stellar wrestler and baseball player, is expected to be joined by Nazareth quarterback Daniel Harding at Akron."

I can't find any information to confirm this.

Harding seems like a player. Hope the expectation turns-out to be true.

Agreed about Harding - here is a slightly different article

Senior quarterback Dan Harding of Nazareth Area High School was named PIAA Class AAAA Co-Player of the Year.

Harding was the Express-Times Football Player of the Year in leading Nazareth to the Lehigh Valley Conference and District 11 Class AAAA titles. Harding threw for 3,749 yards and 32 touchdowns this season.

Harding was named co-player along with special teams standout Zayd Issah of Central Dauphin.

For his career, Harding holds school records for 5,541 passing yards and 52 touchdowns.

Harding, wide receiver Adam Bridgeforth of Nazareth, defensive back Anthony Orlando of Liberty and linebacker Rob Dvoracek of Parkland all made the first team in Class AAAA.

Bridgeforth was Harding's favorite target this fall, catching 82 passes for 1,221 yards and eight touchdowns.

Pen Argyl standout Dylan Evans made first team running back in Class AA. Evans, also an accomplished defensive back, rushed for 2,064 yards and 29 touchdowns in sparking the Green Knights to the Colonial League and District 11 Class AA titles.

OFFENSE

Quarterback -- Dan Harding, Nazareth, 6-4, 205, Sr.;

[johnnyzip84]

Harding is an intriguing prospect. Perhaps the log jam at QB gets a little bigger. I guess I'd rather have 9 QBs than 9 TEs

[johnnyzip84]

It looks like UA benefited from the coaching turnover at Pitt, WVU, and Rutgers to land Dylan.

[RowdyZip]

It looks like UA benefited from the coaching turnover at Pitt, WVU, and Rutgers to land Dylan.

So he'll be playing LB at UA according to that link. There's definitely some guys that could surprise in this class. I just can't wait to see the new offense.
