ATH Jalen Hooks One Of Ohio's More Underrated

"EVALUATION: Hooks has good size (6-foot-2, 185-pounds) and overall athletic ability. While he is a good wide receiver, he probably projects best as a safety at the next level. He has the ability to track the football in the air, while also being to come up strong in run support. "

Agree that 2018 class may be shaping into the best one so far.

Was thinking the same thing. Hopefully he gets us back to a bowl game this year so this class has a chance to stay intact.

If he remains as a WR, I can see Ramart hooking up with him on a consistent basis in a couple years. If he moves to S, he's got great size and I can see him being a heck of a hitter. Nice recruit.

And a MAC C appearance would be nice.

 

But here I was hearing that Bowden recruiting sucks.  Can we all agree to just wait to see the signing classes before making decisions to call them busts or not?

[zippy5]

It was bad before this class, and now he has a nice class going. They are separate things.

I watched Blake Dennis' Hudl highlights this morning just for fun.

First game of the year against the #6 team in the country I'd hardly use as a reason to evaluate with this team.  And at the end of the day, I'm a die-hard Zip fan and will continue to be a bull for them regardless.

C'mon Balsy. That doesn't fit the MO on here. Must be negative and bitch about everything all the time!

I mean, seriously.  They were blown out in a game everyone already though they'd get blown out in.  One-game doesn't make a season.

I see 247 Sports lists him as a 3 star composite. 

 

I am guessing we are hoping to ink some of these better recruits on early signing day this month.

I’m wondering how Akron will work with the new early signing. Interested to see how it shakes out across the board but primarily interested in whether Akron gets some guys locked in. They early signees have to be academic qualifiers (I think) so hopefully those guys (ones we’d like to get inked early) are good to go in the classroom.

I know Keyondre White mentioned signing early (and enrolling in Jan) in one of his interviews shared on here.
