I hope Beacon Journal & all rumors are wrong but I wonder why Akron hasn't released? St V would have faxed them all at same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipsoutsider Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Mitch Cooper and Weiland will almost certainly be PWO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UAZippers Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Sorry if I am wrong, but walkons don't officially sign, correct? So Wieland signing would imply that he is on scholarship? Edited February 1, 2017 by UAZippers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipsoutsider Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 It's not unusual for PWO's to sign some other type of letter to participate in NSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94zipgrad Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 The NLI is the same but it is like a contract, there is a box in the upper right hand corner that breaks down your benefits & gives a $ amount of some kind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balsy Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Always like what I hear from coach. It does seem that there will be less ephasis on transfers coming in, transfers at least that have only one year of eligibility. After listening to the press conference it is my honest opinion that the QB competition is between Kato and Johns. And I'm going to go out on a limb and say Nick Johns is the favorite to be our starter for 2017. That's not a dig on Woodson, but coach said he won't be back to practice until June, giving Johns and Kato an opportune moment to grab the position and run with it. We know what TW is and I hope he gets better soon and the Surgery goes well so he can compete for the mix. It'll be interesting to see two QBs we really haven't seen in the spring game. Good questions from someone about the TE. Coach did mention that it's a position they need to look to utilize more, especially since they added Kobie Booker. Little bit of info I did not know is that there were significant injuries at that position as well. The injury bug really hit us last year :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
