540Zip Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Looks like the coaching staff is hitting GA hard. Will it be our new FL? Hope we still stay local and prioritize local recruits. Though I think Ohio might be a little over recruited 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder when we'll get the first commit of the class? I think a lot of the kids were holding up on committing until we locked up games with Saint Francis and Bryant. The floodgates should open now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) If I were a betting man, I think we'll get a commit from this player this weekend on his official visit. Curious to what we are recruiting him as. He is listed as an OLB on 247, but all of his hudl film is on offense. I wonder if we a recruiting him on the opposite side of the ball as KSU is, since you'd think they would naturally be the favorite. https://247sports.com/Player/Isiah-Childs-46085263/ Edited June 20, 2019 by LZIp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely articulate and thoughtful. #Blessed isn't articulate and thoughtful enough for you? Interestingly enough, looking at Rosser's Twitter, it looks like we've offered at least one or two of his buddies as well. I'm noticing some serious changes to our recruiting, mainly the level we connect with this younger generation better via social media and advertising. Zip Drip - something I don't particularly understand, even being 24 - is big with these younger guys, the graphics look much improved, and I think there's more emphasis on making recruits feel good about themselves in Akron gear when they come on visits. It's great to see us beating out other schools at or above our caliber. Keep it up Arth & staff! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to mention this with D'Andre Bulley's commitment. We've landed a couple of guys early in the recruiting cycle who have offers from P-5 schools. I like that. It seems like in the past when we've landed guys with P-5 offers, it's been very late in the recruiting cycle & we've wondered if the P-5 schools had backed off on them & encouraged them to look elsewhere. Pure speculation, but none-the-less, I like that we're landing players w/ P-5 offers before the season's even begun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue & Gold Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Looks like this guy is coming for a visit this weekend. A couple of the Zips coaches Liked the above tweet. Trey Coleman, RB, 5-11, 213, Hutchinson CC, West Monroe HS, West Monroe, LA The Hutchison CC Football website states his previous college as Tennessee. 24/7 lists him with offers from us, UMass & Toledo. Rivals.com lists him coming out of high school as a 3-star prospect with offers from Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana Tech & Iowa State 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 Trey Coleman started his career at Tennessee. With the early departures of Suggs, White, and Alce and the departure of Sands after this year, I think he would be a very welcomed addition.
