ZachTheZip Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 5'10" 190lb WR Anthony Lauro from Manatee HS in Brandonton, Florida has committed to play for Akron. He will enroll early and greyshirt. Scout profile Rivlas profile (three stars) ESPN profile Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 How can he enroll early, and greyshirt? Once you enroll and take classes, your eligibility clock starts ticking. You have 5 years to play 4. Greyshirting is for non-scholarshipped recruits who enroll a semester after the scholarshipped members of their class sign, either with the promise of getting "the next available scholarship," or achieving a 6th year of eligibility (see D'Orazio, who enrolled in January, greyshirted, then redshirted).

I don't know. Maybe they meant that he's paying his own way the first semester, and then going on scholarship in the fall. Quote

Whether you pay or are scholarshipped, your eligibility clock starts with your first class attended. I guess you could consider early-enrollment a "greyshirt without benefits?" Ie. no "bonus" 6th year of eligibility possible. I'd just call it a "shirt." Quote

If you can't get a 6th year of eligibility maybe it should be called a "short-sleeved shirt." Quote
ZachTheZip Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Posted October 18, 2012 This article clarifies things. Lauro is expected to be gray-shirted by Akron, which means he would join the 2014 recruiting class. He said he will probably take classes at SCF next fall before enrolling at Akron in January, 2014.

Captain Kangaroo Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 This article clarifies things. So it's pretty much exactly like D'Orazio. Good to know I still know what I'm talking about. I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken. Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 The Zip connection with his dad, Tony (former RB under Coaches Faust and Bowden), is pretty cool! Quote

Zipmeister Posted October 24, 2012 Report Posted October 24, 2012 More on Anthony Interesting article. This may be the first time we have ever beat out Akron for a recruit. Quote
72 Roo Posted October 24, 2012 Report Posted October 24, 2012 Did we beat out the Akron club football team? I hear they are coming back and Anthony was to be their first recruit. Quote
LZIp Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 Interesting article. This may be the first time we have ever beat out Akron for a recruit. lay off whatever you are smoking. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Posted November 26, 2012 Anthony Lauro's Highlights 2011 He might be the biggest get of this recruiting class. Quote
Blue & Gold Posted November 26, 2012 Report Posted November 26, 2012 He might be the biggest get of this recruiting class. What are you saying? That Lauro is that good, or you're expecting this class to be weak? Quote
ZachTheZip Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Posted November 26, 2012 What are you saying? That Lauro is that good, or you're expecting this class to be weak? I'm saying he's good. He also brings something to the offense that we don't currently have, but have need of. Quote
Blue & Gold Posted November 26, 2012 Report Posted November 26, 2012 I'm saying he's good. He also brings something to the offense that we don't currently have, but have need of. Cool. Thanks for the clarification! Quote
33Akrondad7 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 I like this kid. Very athletic from the videos. Has great burst of speed and some nice hands. Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Posted February 25, 2013 Local story from Bradenton. The good news is they got "The University of Akron" part correct Quote
GP1 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Posted February 25, 2013 Not much risk here since he doesn't have a scholarship. The kid had two knee injuries in high school. Not a good sign for ever getting a scholarship. Quote
zipsfan33 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 I love it... University of Akron Kangaroos! Hmmm what great marketing ideas that could spur! Quote
