ZachTheZip Posted March 6, 2015 Author Report Posted March 6, 2015 I guess Buffalo's recruiting is going well.Buffalo changed head coaches this offseason. Weird things happen with recruiting during a coaching transition. Quote
zippy5 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 Buffalo changed head coaches this offseason. Weird things happen with recruiting during a coaching transition.It must have been the mass influx of talent generated by Ianello coming aboard. Quote
Balsy Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 It must have been the mass influx of talent generated by Ianello coming aboard. We can only hope-so. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted March 10, 2015 Report Posted March 10, 2015 HmmmmmmmIf we grabbed a 5th year senior, Bowden would be admitting he has no clue how to recruit, or groom a quarterback. We have 3 Power 5 QB commits on our roster now, and the 4th QB has started about 30 D1 games in his career. One of those guys better be able to handle the job.We have so many holes...if we have an extra scholarship for a 5th year kid, it better be for a WR or OL. 4 Quote
Balsy Posted March 10, 2015 Report Posted March 10, 2015 I agree, I want one of the guys on the roster to step-up, including Pohl. We've got to have the guy on our roster who can take us to the promised land...if we don't...we've got bigger problems than we all realize. Quote

LZIp Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Take it FWIW, but I was talking to someone who is "in" with the football program, more specifically involved with recruiting, and they think it was a down year even for Akron's standards.As for myself, I'm sort of indifferent I suppose. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 With 18 TDs vs 22 INT's last season, maybe he's in line for a WR tryout?Doesn't really fit the mold of Bowden's "OUR QB WILL NOT TURN THE BALL OVER" 2015 mantra. 1 Quote
zipsoutsider Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Looks like a local preferred walk-on Corner for the 2015 class:Alec Tarter from Mogadorehttps://twitter.com/KyleCallihan/statuses/581574971924844545http://www.hudl.com/athlete/4095002/alec-tarter Quote
LZIp Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 Looks like we picked up a commit from Ridgewater JuCo TE Johnnie Pope. Based on his twitter, looks like most of his other offers were from FCS programs.http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1605579/highlights/168149375/v2 2⃣4⃣ hour GRIND @Quick6_Pope · 4h 4 hours ago zipNation happy to be a Akron zip Quote

ZachTheZip Posted May 5, 2015 Author Report Posted May 5, 2015 The offensive line is going to look very different than it did in the Spring Game. Quote
Zipgrad01 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Posted May 5, 2015 The offensive line is going to look very different than it did in the Spring Game.He looks like a guy we added for depth at the center or guard position. I don't see him starting. 1 Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted May 5, 2015 Report Posted May 5, 2015 He looks like a guy we added for depth at the center or guard position. I don't see him starting.We really need some OL depth, so it's good to see a couple older transfers arriving. But we need to start getting some Freshman OL's that we can redshirt and groom to be 3-year starters. OL guys always take a year or two to mesh. JUCO guys can only do so much...ditto the grad-transfer guys. Just when they start looking good, their eligibility expires.I expect a great season out of Tommy Brown this year. Quote
