Dr Z Posted May 14, 2012 Report Posted May 14, 2012 Clay - Never heard of himBIO at East St. Louis HS: A three-time all-conference selection ... ranked the No. 23 center in the nation by ESPN.com ... captained the team as a senior and was selected to the St. Louis American’s All-American Team as a junior and senior ... named to the EA Sports Sophomore All-American Team ... East St. Louis won the 2008 Illinois state championship and captured three-straight Southwestern Conference titles ... three-time first-team all-conference, first-team all-metro and first-team all-area selection ... Coached by: Darren Sunkett. Personal: Born July 2, 1993 ... son of John and Donna Clay ... father played football at Missouri and professionally for the Los Angeles Raiders and San Diego Chargers ... has two siblings, Jade and Jordan Nicole.

Zipmeister Posted May 14, 2012 Report Posted May 14, 2012 Bostick - Not any good Fox - Beats me, but if true it certainly would be a disappointment to see him go Clay - Never heard of him When you were posting on page 5 of this thread http://zipsnation.org/forums//index.php?sh...17754&st=60 you should have read page 4. Zach will be so disappointed. Quote

Zach will be so disappointed. The John Clay Era comes to an end. Eerily similar to the Ryan Bain Era. I found page 29 of that thread to be outstanding. Page 13 was also good, but too similar to pages 7 and 31 to merit top billing. Honorable mention goes to page 17, which would have been #1 had it mentioned LeBron James or Akron U. Quote

ZippyWoman08 Posted May 14, 2012 Author Report Posted May 14, 2012 Thank you all. I just think we may need to recruit a kicker as Mr. Fox has officially left. Quote

We are all entitled to our own opinion, but I just don't see the similarity between pages 7 and 13. True Zach had 11 of the posts on page 7 and 8 on page 13; otherwise they look pretty different to me. For instance, Buckzip had a post on 13 , but not 7. And not to pick nits with you but "Eerily similar"!! At least Ryan spent some time in Akron; John never made it out of the hood. Quote
NewZipsFan Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 Thank you all. I just think we may need to recruit a kicker as Mr. Fox has officially left. We've got kickers. I know that Coach Bowden has confidence in Stein. Quote
Jalapeño Zippy Posted June 1, 2012 Report Posted June 1, 2012 Instead of this can we have a thread titled: Bowden Transfers, players who are coming in who can actually help us instead of landing at Elon or going to Lake Erie College I don't care who leaves. I want to know who is going to stay and who is coming in to make this program better that 2-22. Quote

Jalapeño Zippy Posted June 1, 2012 Report Posted June 1, 2012 Then start that thread and ignore this one. Pretty simple, no? Very simple indeed, but being passive aggressive is so much more fun. Quote
Dr Z Posted June 1, 2012 Report Posted June 1, 2012 The guy that coach Bowden recruited to stay, went to a better progrum, the other two didn't. I can conclude from those three instances that TB & staff know their talent. Quote
K92 Posted June 1, 2012 Report Posted June 1, 2012 So, Karl Bostick is taking his talents to Elon... Losing depth is never a good thing, but I am going to go way out on a limb here and say that Karl's departure plus Carlton Thomas' arrival equals net gain for the Zips. (If Hilltopper's little birdie turns out to be right) Quote

(If Hilltopper's little birdie turns out to be right) It was a 6'5" 300 lb birdie! A player who shall remain nameless, but a good source. He also told me that several more O-lineman are in our future. Quote
GP1 Posted June 1, 2012 Report Posted June 1, 2012 It was a 6'5" 300 lb birdie! Imagine the droppings he would leave on a windshield. Quote
akronzips71 Posted June 1, 2012 Report Posted June 1, 2012 Imagine the droppings he would leave on a windshield. Bostick, a 5-foot-9, 201-pounder, appeared in nine games for Akron last year as a true freshman. He totaled 82 rushing yards with one touchdown and caught four passes for 10 yards on the season. And we care about him leaving because????????? Although, probably those 82 yards were about 30% of our total production Quote

johnnyzip84 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Posted June 14, 2012 I guess I sort of forgot that Hazime was granted his release as well. Apparently he's now a grad student at Wake Forest. I wish Hasan all the best, as I think he might help out the Deacons assuming he's fully back from his injury. GP1 can provide commentary throughout the season Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Posted September 18, 2012 Now I realize the Deacon Deacons were rebuked mightily by FSU this past weekend, but how did we (especially GP1) miss this from week 2? Hasan Hazime named ACC defensive POTW Ps: I got this tidbit from Frenchy as I was listening to Joe Dunn's show today. Quote
