LZIp Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Peter Hayes-Patrick looks like the real deal to me. OSU and FSU offered him in 8th grade! Seems like they backed off throughout high school and he missed half of his senior year, which might explain why there doesn't seem to be a ton of interest from bigger programs. Seems like it is going to come down to us and Toledo, and he already visited Toledo. Let's see what the new staff has! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kangaroo Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 There seemed to be a big recruiting night orchestrated on campus last night. InfoCision was blasting music and the scoreboard was showing the Northwestern game highlights when I was returning to my car after the bb game. Probably 12 black Chevy Suburbans lined up inside the stadium, underneath the home stands. Appeared to be a rocking party Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UAZippers Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Offensive lineman from St. Edwards. Looks like he was originally offered a PWO spot on January 3rd, which was upgraded to a scholarship offer a few days ago. He's a big boy. Listed at 6'7" 315 lbs on Hudl.

Good news - I do not see any Akron players on there. I also don't see any listed as transferring to Akron. Looks like Ball St lost both their QB and RB to better schools so far. Yikes! https://247sports.com/Season/2019-Football/TransferPortal/ I like this transfer site. Thanks for posting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJGood Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Looking at the transfer portal site I saw that tight end Eli Wolf has entered the transfer portal from the University of Tennessee. I remember him playing at small high school power Minster here in Ohio a few years back. I wonder if the Zips would be a good fit for him.

94zipgrad Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Only time will tell but this is the most concentration on OL we have witnessed. Game is won in the trenches. I personally like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but keep a couple things in mind, I heard we hit Juco pretty hard on the defensive side, plus defensive scheme change to 3 down lineman, putting a lot of pass rushing responsibility on OLB. Maybe move Devon Jones back to defense? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your looking for at least 6’6’ with arm reach for tackles at this level. Again time will tell but I haven’t seen this commitment to OL. Especially in there short time here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
