ZachTheZip Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 If you recall this article from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette about QB recruit Chandler Kincade, it said that he would try to recruit several players from Beaver Falls HS: Brock Boxen (verbal to Akron), Elijah Cottrill (verbal to Akron), and Sage Curry (undecided). Hopefully he can complete the set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave in Green Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 A few months ago he was still undecided about whether to play football or basketball in college according to this article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipgrad01 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 A few months ago he was still undecided about whether to play football or basketball in college according to this article. He is a big time point guard recruit. I know that he had an offer from Creighton. I think he may have had one from WVU as well. Maybe he plans on playing both sports??

johnnyzip84 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 He is a big time point guard recruit. I know that he had an offer from Creighton. I think he may have had one from WVU as well. Maybe he plans on playing both sports?? HERE is the updated Time-Online article that mentions why he chose football over hoops. I can't disagree with his logic. “They throw the ball something like 50 times a game,” Cottrill said. “For a wide receiver, that’s as close to Christmas as it gets. Before choosing Akron, Cottrill had also received a scholarship offer from Temple for football. Cottrill also has an offer on the table for basketball from Creighton and would have probably received more hoops offers during his senior year. “I love basketball,” he said. “But football gives me a better chance to keep playing after college.” Cottrill’s verbal commitment won’ become binding until he signs his national letter-of-intent. He can do that during the NCAA‘s early signing period in November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendofzippy Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 What the heck is going on at WMU? When I was checking this kid on 247, I looked at MAC ranking and they already have 13 3 stars? I know it's way early and this stuff fluctuates like crazy, but that's pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldZipFan Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I guess "Row the Boat" has struck a chord with recruits. WMU also has struck a chord with coaches. Brian Callahan is the assistant coach/offensive line, and Luke Getsy has been hired as an assistant coach/wide receivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 http://blogs.post-gazette.com/sports/varsi...ith-knee-injury Cottrill's status after high school also is up in the air. In the summer, he made a verbal commitment to Akron for football, although he said he would still wait to see what would happen in basketball recruiting. Creighton had offered him a scholarship last spring for basketball and a few other Division I colleges were showing interest. But Biega said Cottrill has backed out of the verbal commitment to Akron for football. Cottrill likely will attend a prep school or a junior college.
