zipsoutsider Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Toledo commit: 2016 Tyrece Speaight ATH, recruited as a WR http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1585130/highlights/247239375/v2 Edited December 1, 2015 by zipsoutsider Quote
LoyalZIP Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 He's one hell of an athlete but this kind of behavior would turn me away. You're supposed to commit to a program for more than the damn head coach. Quote
pitside Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 Kids commit to the coaching staff that they will spend a lot of time working with. .they form relationships during the recruiting process. ...that staff is now no longer there..those relationships are gone...perhaps the position coach at Toledo was the biggest reason he committed in the 1st place? I dont have a problem with a kid de-committing under these circumstances Quote

You're supposed to commit to a program for more than the damn head coach.I hear you, but the next coach might not be too committed to him or might not be the type of guy be wants to play for 4 years. If he changes his mind after he gets there he has to sit out and they might not allow him to go to a school close to home. Quote
LZIp Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 Thanks for starting the thread. Should be interesting to watch. Hopefully a few more dominoes will fall. If his reasoning is true, I find it hard to believe he would commit to ISU, but it seems to be his only P5 offer, so you never know. Quote

I dont have a problem with a kid de-committing under these circumstancesNearly the entire staff is still there Quote
pitside Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 The OL coach.OC..Strength coach..corners coach..linebackers coach...director of high school relations..are all going so far Quote
Jrship35 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 Nearly the entire staff is still thereAbout 4 position coaches, recruiting coordinator and strength coach have been announced as hired along with Campbell .... More will follow Of course you try to flip these kids and why not ... http://footballscoop.com/the-scoop/ Quote

skip-zip Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 I think we all have that thought that he might consider coming here. If it was an issue of not playing, that's maybe a remote chance. But, this appears to be something else entirely. He was clearly going to be their starter. But, I will still dream of disgruntled SEC players filtering down to Akron. Especially after we add a Potato Bowl victory to our resume. Quote

Especially after we add a Potato Bowl victory to our resume. Honest question as I am also trying to figure out the deal at A&M ... De-commits, transfers ETCBut why would everyone think that he would consider coming to Akron ? Is there some kind of connection that would make it any more than wishful thinking ? Quote

If by "everyone" you mean one person, I'm on-board with you.I agree that associating every random D1 transfer with the Zips in this thread will probably make the thread a waste. Quote
ZippyRulz Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 But, I will still dream of disgruntled SEC players filtering down to Akron. Especially after we add a Potato Bowl victory to our resume. Me too. Toledo did, and their dream came true. Who are our 3 QBs for next season? Quote

There is no reason why anyone would think he would consider coming to Akron. Pure pipe dream. He's probably destined for another big time P5 program, tbh. Edited December 17, 2015 by LZip Quote
Buckzip Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 Something weird is going on at A&M. Rarely do both the starting QB and backup QB transfer at the same time.Very odd.I understand the backup especially seeing that he used to be the starter. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 Something weird is going on at A&M. Rarely do both the starting QB and backup QB transfer at the same time.They can't keep up with Manziel on the weekends. Quote

He's probably destined for another big time P5 program, tbh.There's also the possibility of an indirect transfer. If he goes to another P5 program then some other P5 prospect loses playing time and may decide to transfer to the MAC... Quote
