Captain Kangaroo Posted March 29, 2016 Report Posted March 29, 2016 2 hours ago, blueandgold said: Something I don't like after reading the Miami Herald article is that it seems that he has a propensity to transfer. Three different high schools? Makes me a bit nervous and I hope he doesn't continue that trend in college. He hasn't graduated high school yet and we're already worried about him transferring from Akron? Bowden beat/out-recruited Florida Atlantic, who pushed extremely hard for Kato's services. Per newspaper reports, Kato's immediate family wanted him to attend FAU, yet he still chose the Zips. I'm not worried about him transferring. Quote

Did a quick twitter search and Davis and Jest, who both are active on Twitter, both still have University of Akron in their bios. Holley does at well, but he hasn't tweeted since signing day. Nelley doesn't seem to have an account, so not sure there. With such a tiny recruiting class, you'd hope that everybody qualified. But on the bright side, maybe a couple non-qualifiers (and I'm only guessing that is why those guys aren't appearing on the official roster) helped open the door for Tulley-Tillman (same position as Neeley) and Jelani Hamilton (same position as Jest). Maybe it opens the door for another late grad transfer or two to also still join. 3 Quote
zipsoutsider Posted June 29, 2016 Report Posted June 29, 2016 I dont think they can appear on the roster until they are on campus. We will see come come in July. Quote

Figured I would follow up with this now that the roster is updated for camp. Still missing: Alvin Davis Domonick Holley Apparent new members of the recruiting class (true freshman): Bryce Dixon, WR, Green Hope HS, NC - 3 star WR who had some P5 offers. Appears he was an early enrollee at NC St and left in the Spring. Not sure how that affects this years eligibility, but I'm also not sure its a concern with our talent and depth. http://247sports.com/Player/Bryce-Dixon-75675 Jerry Fitschen, PK/P, Orange, CA - I think I remember ready about this guy. Maybe a walk on? Demarkus Glover, LB, St. Petersburg, FL - Can't find anything about offers, but this dude has size and speed and likes to hit! http://www.hudl.com/video/3/2890002/5721cacd90eead5d90d0e1d2 Austin Sample, OL, Sylvania, OH - cant find much on this guy. http://www.hudl.com/video/3/1535307/5721c0bc9a91677e748edd75 Andrew Siegman, OL, Brecksville, OH - I think I remember this guy mentioned before as well. Guessing walk on? 1 Quote

Guessing walk on? I really like what I see on Glover. I think with a couple years of coaching by Amato, this kid could be great! Also, aside from his big hitting capability, he actually knows how to wrap and tackle. Edited August 11, 2016 by blueandgold Quote
Blue & Gold Posted August 11, 2016 Report Posted August 11, 2016 Demarkus Glover, 6-1, 210, 4.5 40. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2890002/demarkus-glover Quote
LZIp Posted August 11, 2016 Report Posted August 11, 2016 I tried to find Jatavis' hudl (to no avail) to compare, but I can't help but be reminded of him when I watch this film... 1 Quote

Buckzip Posted August 11, 2016 Report Posted August 11, 2016 A bit bigger than JB as a freshman. If he can add some weight and keep the speed he is a real find. Quote
