He got a nice shoutout from Taylor on Twitter. Quote
zippy5 Posted February 8, 2018 Report Posted February 8, 2018 Say what you want about the recruiting sites but it means a little something to see recruits signing that even have a 247 or rivals page, let alone have some stars. We've signed more kids this class with other legit offers than the last three or four combined I'd say. We'll see how they turn out, but at the least it's good to see us going against other respectable D-1 programs and winning some battles. 1 Quote

McKinleyville had produced many good players over the years. Bryce was offered out of HS by Iowa St, committed to Nevada then decommitted and went JC way to a good program at RiversideCC. He's a guard primarily. Quote

Bowden needs to pony up scholarships for kickers instead of this PW for average kickers. The kicking game was a total disaster in 2017. Gasser did better than O'Leary, but with a pretty limited range. Edited February 12, 2018 by zipsoutsider 1 1 Quote

LZIp Posted February 13, 2018 Report Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) I'd have to look at the stats, but I don't even think Gasser was better than O'Leary. Thats a change that baffled me throughout the season. I can't disagree too much though. Lets give a scholly to the best kicker and then a good young kicker. Its worth it.

I'm all for using a scholarship on a highly rated kicker. Quote

My guess is that where there is smoke, there's fire, though. Quote

ZipsVoice Posted May 5, 2018 Report Posted May 5, 2018 Talk recently to Zach’s uncle ane he is so psyched that Zach is going to be a Zip. Zach is excited as all get out. Guess he’s going to be non scholarship to start, but he says Bowden is high on him and expects him to be a scolly soon... 1 Quote

Less than impressive. Only kicking profile was Prokicker, which is an OK organization, but they did not rank him (they only rank top 25) does not appear to have ever been a Kohl's kicker. Hi kicks would be no better than Gasser, when you move the ball back to the 35. I know there was a Kohl's top 50 kid planning a visit. He has a good looking leg. Quote
