Hilltopper Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 Jackson is a beast. Got to see him play twice. A tough inside runner. Quote
ZipsBurgh Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 RB Martice Jackson, from Wadsworth.@Eleven_Era: Anyone know where I can get a pair of those gloves? Haha Quote
zipdiehard Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 Hope I'm wroing, but Martice Jackson does not look like a D1 recruit. Have seen him play multiple times over the past few years. Slow to the hole. A little short, but built well. My sons are athletes at Wadsworth, and from what they are hearing it sounds like he may be a walk on, not a scholarship player. Apparently Martice is saying that he is getting "some" financial help from Akron. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Posted February 4, 2014 Guess we'll find out tomorrow. Quote
Big Zip Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 Do coaches take borderline players from certain programs to help get a foothold with the program or the area? I'm not suggesting completely throwing away a scholarship but is this a strategy used by MAC coaches.Matrice if slow to hole (as suggested) may not be coming here to play RB. I can't be the only person who expected a 5'11" FB in HS to come to Akron and play NT. Cody Grice has been pretty impressive in his transition to the DL. Quote

However, Rittman and Wadsworth are not those programs.Cleveland Glenville, Buchtel, McKinley, Massillon, etc are. Quote

Zipmeister Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 OK, everyone remember to act surprised when the class announced tomorrow includes most or all of: Bolden, Clayton, Cull, Lash, Logan, and Suesbury. Quote
ZipFrom86 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 eat em up eat em up go Zips go! Quote
ZachTheZip Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Posted February 5, 2014 George Thomas just tweeted that a signing class of 14 is expected. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Posted February 5, 2014 Here's my best guess for the 14:QB Chandler KincadeOL Scott BoyettOL Kyle RitzRB Martice JacksonATH Jamal BaggettATH Blake DennisDE Brock BoxenDE Anthony ClarkLB Travonte JuniusLB Newman WilliamsCB Kris GivensCB Bernard WillinghamCB Kyron BrownLS Hayden Grover Quote
ZachTheZip Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Posted February 5, 2014 https://twitter.com/Hysteria1063/status/430877466551283714Glades Cent. tells us DB Jerry Jones (#FAU) only player signing. Means #Akron commit CB Bernard Willingham isn't. Looking into it. #NSD1063 Quote
zipproud Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 This is an outstanding list of recruits. What is the deal with the recruits who are already enrolled? Will they sign tomorrow or are they already considered signed and how many of them are there. Would they be counted in the 14?Go Zips!!!Things are looking UP!!!! Quote
ZachTheZip Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Posted February 5, 2014 With Willingham out, I wonder who the 14th will be. Quote
ZippyFan Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 Aaron Dorksen @adorksenTDR Expected area D-I FB signings Weds: Hillsdale's Ryan Bee to Marshall &Blake Dennis (played 4 Rittman, now @ Orrville) to Akron to grayshirt Quote
ZachTheZip Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Posted February 5, 2014 Interesting news about Dennis. He should still be announced with this year's class, like we did with last year's greyshirts. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 OK, everyone remember to act surprised when the class announced tomorrow includes most or all of: Bolden, Clayton, Cull, Lash, Logan, and Suesbury.No one cared to pick up on this? I trust Zipmeister's info above all the other random garbage.Looking forward to seeing some assortment of Chase Lash (OL Massilon), Austin Cull (TE Beaver Creek), Marcelis Logan (RB Lexington Ky), Demetrius Suesberry (CB Winton Woods), Bolden and Clayton too.
