LZIp Posted January 2, 2018 Report Posted January 2, 2018 Tracker is updated to include Arslanian as a scholly player. Per a source close to the team, he was a "blueshirt" commit last year. Estimating 10 scholarships left over now for 2018. Quick reminder on what the different "shirts" mean as well. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/recruiting/2016/01/31/college-football-recruiting-redshirt-greenshirt-grayshirt-blueshirt/79603750/ Zips Football Scholarship Chart.xlsx 1 Quote

I'd prefer to get him here as a LB, considering what we've brought in so far at each position. Being that these last second recruits usually come down to the places they visit right before signing day, you would think it is going to come down to us and Kent St. He does have a visit lined up with Michigan and Mich. St as well it looks like, but no offers from them as of yet. https://247sports.com/Player/Abraham-Alce-45572434 Edited January 15, 2018 by LZIp Quote

Better City. Better Facilities. Actually able to win games, though the excitement of a new staff might be something Kent has. Quote

I can't remember them beating us out for any recruit recently, but may be wrong. I did see that they landed a JUCO (former Auburn 4 star) QB yesterday though. Seems like thats a good get for them.

Idk. Whatever. I'm surprised a school like Can't didn't offer him. They had interest in him, and Joey seems to be their prototypical QB - undersized, athletic, etc. At 6'1" 190 lbs, I'm not too surprised he didn't get much DI interest. It looks like he had walk-on offers from a few DI schools, but he's smart to at least get the full ride scholarship, regardless of where it's at. If his University of Virginia wrestling scholarship wasn't a full ride, I think he made the best life decision from a financial aspect. Edited January 15, 2018 by Let'sGoZips94 2 Quote

Also, Immokalee is not that far from Naples and Cape Coral, which is where Manny Morgan and Van Edwards are from respectively. Hopefully that will be some sort of influence. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted January 19, 2018 Report Posted January 19, 2018 Strong, tough kid. I wish we'd have given him a longer look. Oh well... Quote

Blue & Gold Posted January 28, 2018 Report Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) 6'4", 275 lb. DL/OL Has only played one year of football... Edited January 28, 2018 by Blue & Gold 1 Quote

I don't know if I'm a good evaluator of OL/DL play but it looks like this kid has a great motor and is rather strong. Not sure brute strength wins as much at the FBS level as it can/does at the high school level, though. Could be a kid that can really develop in time though and would trust the coaches to make that call. Since he mentions Coach Ekkens, I'll assume they are recruiting him for the OL (at least initially) which I like; never enough big men in the trenches! 1 Quote

Blue & Gold Posted February 4, 2018 Report Posted February 4, 2018 Jarryd Palek, walk-on QB, from the St. Thomas Aquinas HS in near-by Louisville. 1 Quote
LZIp Posted February 5, 2018 Report Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) Wanted to hit on two points on this post: 1st - I noticed Tim Scippio (early commit and currently unsigned) congratulating players for committing. Based on that I would count him in to sign next week. 2nd - I'm still worried about not bringing in a scholly QB (at least of yet) in this class. Lack of depth could realistically end up being a problem once again after next season. It's probably more likely than not Kato leaves sometime in his career if his dad has any say. Kelley seems like a nice back up based on what I've seen, but is gone after next season. Johns has 2 more years, but one would think he came here to play. Not only did he not play, he switched positions. After next season, it's very possible Ramart could be the starter with a true freshman as his back up. Edited February 5, 2018 by LZIp 3 Quote
Blue & Gold Posted February 5, 2018 Report Posted February 5, 2018 IMO we should give a scholarship to a QB every year. I thought that was recruiting 101 but we haven't been doing so. And not doing so came back to bite us & derail our season just 2 years ago. 2 Quote
Blue & Gold Posted February 6, 2018 Report Posted February 6, 2018 ??? I love the fact it's a tweet from our OL coach! Quote
