LZIp Posted August 9, 2018 Report Posted August 9, 2018 Alvin Davis named the 25th best player in the MAC by Hustlebelt. Have to imagine Brown, Gilbert, and possibly Davis will be on there. https://www.hustlebelt.com/2018/8/4/17646400/kyron-brown-db-akron-zips-football-top-players-2018-mid-american-conference 1 Quote
CDMac Posted August 11, 2018 Report Posted August 11, 2018 If anyone’s looking at this, scrimmage is outdoors and open. Team warming up now. It’s 9:30 AM Saturday, August 11 2018... 1 1 Quote
LZIp Posted August 11, 2018 Report Posted August 11, 2018 According to an article I saw in the paper (I don't have a link), Tim Scippio did make it on campus and Brady played in the scrimmage today. Looking forward to hearing your summary @CDMac as well as anyone else's who may have went. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted August 11, 2018 Report Posted August 11, 2018 Scippio did play. He’s a legit 6’ 2” 195 lb wideout. Brady got some snaps, but not a ton. Story of the scrimmage was either - 6’ 6” 220 lb wr Brandon Mitchell. Zips track star with a 5th year of college eligibility remaining. Could be a real impact player this season. Alex Ramart- had an outstanding scrimmage. Per Coach Bowden after the scrimmage “We’ve got a battle at the QB. position .” Dr. Z and I have a lot to post, but have a busy Saturday. We’ll get some stuff up later tonight or tomorrow. 1 1 Quote

CDMac Posted August 11, 2018 Report Posted August 11, 2018 ABJ's commentary on the scrimmage I just got home from Akron and will post my thoughts later. Quote

Coach Bowden told Joe Dunn that they'll have another scrimmage Saturday the 18th. I don't know a time yet but today's started at 9:30 and it was a beautiful day at the INFO. 1 Quote

CDMac Posted August 12, 2018 Report Posted August 12, 2018 I know you root for us when we're not playing the Cyclones, but I though you might be just trying to get a good seat on the bandwagon as the RooCrew kicks it into high gear! We'll be traveling to Ames for the game, so I'll be looking at your very informative and much appreciated posts with all the parking/tailgating info as the game gets a little closer. 2 Quote
gozips19 Posted August 12, 2018 Report Posted August 12, 2018 Would love to hear how the QB's looked. I think if you read the tea leaves Alex is really gaining on Kato. TB mentioned he was getting some reps with the 1s so I'm assuming the race has to be open. 1 Quote
Blue & Gold Posted August 12, 2018 Report Posted August 12, 2018 I wasn't the least bit surprised to hear what GT wrote about Kato & Ramart after the 1st scrimmage. I think Ramart's the QB of the future, I just don't think you start a freshman in game #1. But I wouldn't be surprised if by MAC play Ramart is the starter w/ Kato subbing in to change things up (with his running) once in a while. Quote

I hope you roll into Ames with a 2-0 record and end the season with a 10-2 record (losses to Buffalo and Iowa State). 1 Quote

Is Kato the back-up QB who came in late in the Iowa State game last year? If so, he seemed like a bit of a hot-head. I haven't heard much said about this, so I'm assuming that calmed down (or it isn't him). Quote

In the article (posted earlier - somewhere up there) where GT stated Ramart was the only Zips player who didn't look rusty, he also commented that Kato was right in the middle of an after-the-whistle skirmish.
