Jrship35 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 Didn't see a topic but am interested in any talk of 2016 recruiting ? I believe there is a QB and a TE that have verbally committed, but that could be incorrect ?Any headway in the local recruiting efforts ? Quote

Z.I.P.

Dr Z Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 Can someone forward this to the staff for at least a look-see?Coach Stroud is the recruiting coordinator and can be emailed at stroud@uakron.edu. If I had to guess, pad level is probably the answer to your first question. Quote
