UAZippers Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Also interesting is that ESPN has Alce listed as a fullback and the top fullback overall for the class of 2018. They only ranked two players, but is this the first time ever that the Zips have gotten the top nationally ranked prospect for his position? http://www.espn.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/playerrankings/_/position/fullback/class/2018/view/position 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K92 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 I would say this class is the best of the Bowden era by a very large margin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully one day soon, I can write "The Zips o-line dominated (insert top mac opponent here) the entire game" All the skill positions shine when this happens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being funny, honest question? I have a hard time judging recruits. I've watched HS film on all our recruits since Lee Owens, and been excited about so many that have "flamed" out. I've watched the same film, and haven't been impressed with many that have had great success. So hard to judge for me at this time of the year. Now, when I get to watch a scrimmage, I can actually formulate an opinion, but I have never been good at judging talent at this time of year.

zipsoutsider Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 First I would to thank my parents and God because without them none of this would be possible. Thanks to every coach that helped me through this process. I’m proud to announce my commitment to the University Of Akron. pic.twitter.com/37TE90Dg0Z— TUTUD_22 (@tutudaranijo) February 4, 2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue & Gold Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 WR Timothy Scippio and S Adetutu Daranijo are both definitely signing with UA, but both are obviously non-qualifiers so won't be announced officially till next year. ^^Timothy Scippio ^^Adetutu Daranijo (check out the top-left picture of him signing his NLOI w/ his Zips hat on & note Jason Taylor in the background). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
