Blue & Gold Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) Former Copley star (and injury-prone) RB Weston Bridges is transferring from MSU. Wonder if we have a shot? Edited October 14, 2019 by Blue & Gold 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 A bit of positivity - there are a few players missing, so who knows how they will be ranked by 247, and whatever your opinion is on rankings, for whatever reason, they seem to generally correlate with who the top teams in the conference are. With that said, we are currently ranked 10th in MAC (above Ohio and Buffalo) in cumulative team score. That ranking is driven by the individual ranking of players as well as the number of players in the class. Only looking at the ranking of players, we have the second highest average in the conference at 82.7 behind Toledo's 83.17 and just above Ohio's 82.59. Let's hope the staff can finish filling the class as good as they started it and that should be a good sign down the road.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the fact we're #2 in the conference in average player rating carries much more weight than the cumulative score, IMO. I don't remember us ever having so many 3-star recruits.

Blue & Gold Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 FOXNews: Ohio facing troubling trends when it comes to prep football Article stating Ohio high school football isn't quite what it used to be. Declining number of youth participating in football compounded by the fact that Ohio is one of the slowest-growing states in the country. ...But Ohio also has one of the slowest-growing populations of any state and there are other troubling numbers: The number of high school football players in Ohio dropped by 28% from 2009-10 to 2018-19, according to data tracked by the National Federation of State High School Associations, and NCAA stats show the percentage of Ohio players competing at the highest level of college football has slipped from 5.9% in 2013 to 5.1% in 2018. That's still enough to rank fifth among the 50 states, but fourth-place Georgia has pulled away and states such as Louisiana (sixth) and Alabama (eighth) have gained on Ohio over the last 10 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue & Gold Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Hmm, and there was another tweet with four recruits from the same JUCO (I think it was Butler CC) touring campus. Can't seem to find it now. Anyway, Teon Dollard is a 6-0, 215 RB from Independence CC & looks really good; big, quick and fast. Here is his 2019 highlight video from 247 Sports dot com. Isiah Childs is helping us recruit Teon. Edited November 18, 2019 by Blue & Gold 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

540Zip Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 I heard this weekend was a good one for the Zips. 4 or 5 jumped in the boat... Don't know specifics yet besides Ryan McClain who looks to be an OLB in this system. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Will be interested to see if we take advantage of the transfer portal or kids de-committing due to coaching changes. We did not utilize the transfer portal at all last year or this year thus far. The key I think - at least right now - should be immediate eligibility, however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
