br30302004 Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Cleveland Heights incoming senior Jerome Royal, a wide receiver, has orally committed to the University of Akron. Royal chose the Zips over Ohio University and Eastern Michigan. Royal (6-2, 180) amassed 350 yards on 10 receptions last season and scored four touchdowns.

liljc Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 A Wr named Givens was supposed to announce his choice yesterday, too? Anyone hear if he picked Akron? Mich St., Cincy, Louisville were on his list, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsbandman Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Yes, Givens made his decision. Unfortunately, he chose Miami. We lost a good one there, but we seem to be building up our receiving corps pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryno aka Menace Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I have a dumb question so please don't flame me for it. Anyway, to me it seems we are getting alot more early verbal commits. This seems like a great thing if they are the "top" recruits in the country, truthfully they are mid-level players, no doubt we will have another successfull season. Couldn't we be shooting ourselfs in the foot if there is a higher ranked player that wants to come to akron and we miss out because there are no avalible scholarships (position wise). Or a greater need at other positions? What are your feeling on this? Also we seem to be getting alot of WR's do you think JD will switch to a run and gun offense or what?

Or a greater need at other positions? What are your feeling on this? I've been thinking the same thing... but I don't really follow recruiting very closely, so I assumed there was a good answer.

fear the brown roo Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 there is no game that i want to win more than miami this year. to be the best in the east, and not just the champions on tie breakers, we need to beat the best. i hate what they did to us the past few seasons. those arrogant c-suckers rubbed it in our faces last year in oxford and nothing would please me more than to kick the living shit out of them. what happened last year, i'm sure, will be taken personally by every zip player and be plenty of incentive to blast the redskins or hawks or whatever the hell they are now. i hate miami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsbandman Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 I have an idea for that game. Lets put the band and students right behind their bench and give it back to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
