K92 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Posted June 19, 2013 George Thomas' story Future's getting brighter. Naysayers find a place to hide because the Zip football renaissance is in the pipeline! :gun: I hope dreal still frequents the board because my machine guns are for him. Let's all hope we can hold on to as much of this current staff as possible for as long as possible. Way to go A.J. Milwee! Quote

a-zip Posted June 19, 2013 Report Posted June 19, 2013 Good news about this early signing is that he can be used to attract additional recruits (possibly some stud receivers)......This is a guy we can definitely build around. Safe to say we are VERY solid at the QB position if we get him. Quote

johnnyzip84 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Posted June 19, 2013 He isn't "signed" yet. Let's hope he does. I believe I saw in an article (can't find it now for some reason) where he is expected to sign "early" in November. I didn't even know a high school recruit could do that. Quote

I didn't even know a high school recruit could do that. I don't believe "early" signings exist. However, once he enrolls at UA in the spring of what would be his senior HS year, he would then lose a year's eligibility if he decided to drop-out/transfer. But I don't see any of that happening. He seems like the "Zeke" of UA football. WPa roots and all. Quote

He seems like the "Zeke" of UA football. WPa roots and all. That makes sense. He must be a relatively smart kid to be able to graduate a semester early. I thought about the Zeke analogy myself and I think it's a pretty good one. I think it's hard for alumni who grew up close to Akron to believe that others might actually have a pretty good impression of UA, either academically or athletically. Quote
zipproud Posted June 20, 2013 Report Posted June 20, 2013 http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recr...-Kincade-126041 6'4" 215lb QB from Beaver Falls, PA. Ranked #16 Pro-style QB in the country by Rivals. Was originally committed to Pitt. Offers from Bowling Green, Temple, Rutgers. This is a great take away from Pitt, I found his junior highlight film http://youtu.be/NwnR9D1cZxg These were on Pitts website a while back http://youtu.be/Y0WziTJZEnc http://youtu.be/HXLC7ff3wO8 This could be just what the zips needed GO ZIPS Quote

I just hope he learns some of the other players that Bowden is recruiting and does some on his own. I see this all the time at BCS schools. Sometimes, all it takes is that one key recruit that helps "recruit" a class. Quote

Too bad it won't be until 2015 at the earliest, and 2016 most-likely, before we see him on the field for meaningful minutes. It is a good timetable for him to have 2 seasons to learn under Pohl...but for fans it is a long time to wait. Hope Pohl gives us some excitement before the Kincade Era begins. And sets some records for Kincade to break. I wonder if Tommy Woodson is reading this thread and quoting Lee Corso..."Not so fast, my friend." Woodson/Pohl/Kincade or Moore/Nicely/Franco Hmmmm....which to choose....? Quote

Blue & Gold Posted June 21, 2013 Report Posted June 21, 2013 Pohl. Hirschman. Woodson. Kincade. Stacked. Quote
akzipper Posted June 21, 2013 Report Posted June 21, 2013 Pohl. Hirschman. Woodson. Kincade. Stacked. Unfortunately if 2012 taught us anything, it's that a good QB means nothing if you can't keep the opponent from scoring. Hopefully the coaching staff can turn it's focus to stacking the defense.

zippy5 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Posted June 29, 2013 Shocker... seems like all signs pointed to Pitt. Hope Kincade stays on board. Pitt just picked up another QB commit, so I'm not sure they'd welcome him back anyway. Quote
Z.I.P. Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 I believe I saw in an article (can't find it now for some reason) where he is expected to sign "early" in November. I didn't even know a high school recruit could do that. Maybe he's planning to sign-up with coach Dambrot's November signing class. In which case CK might owe Steve McNees a post-game beer at New Castle's famous Villavova Inn! Hell, I'll buy Steve a fancy umbrella drink when he arrives for the Diamond Head Classic, if he had anything to do with it! Quote

He seems like the "Zeke" of UA football. WPa roots and all. This is what they call an early enroll, the kid graduates from H.S. school early and comes in the second half of his senior year. It allows the kid to participate in spring workouts. When the athlete does this they actually sign a little earlier than the loi day. I believe it is an early signing period sometime in Dec. If for some reason the kid leaves school he would lose a year, it is just like coming in as a freshman, he is just doing it a semester early. This has become very common. They still have 4 years plus a redshirt year. Go Zips Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted July 11, 2013 Report Posted July 11, 2013 Post Gazette Article Kincade is working hard in trying to bring a few other WPIAL players with him. Among the fellow seniors Kincade said he has already been recruiting are Aliquippa's Jaleel Fields and Terry Swanson, and South Fayette's Justin Watson. Kincade also plans on reaching out to Beaver Falls' Brock Boxen, Elijah Cottrill and Sage Curry. Quote
