I feel bad for the young man because it seems some coach or coach's have not been forthcoming with the boys abilities. Quote

Zippy7373 Posted April 22, 2021 Report Posted April 22, 2021 Lol this kid has been around the block. He is not a starter he might be a career back up. Better for the zips. Let him leave, I don’t know the new rules by the Ncaa but I’m sure he has to go D2 or something now 1 Quote

Thats why the world is the way it is today. I'd say kids more often lack discipline, not guidance from coaches. Certainly, many of them lack guidance from a strong male parental figure in their youth and that contributes to a lack of discipline, but the coaches may actually be the first guidance they've ever really had. I'm not clear on your original statement. I'm not sure if you think coaches didn't give him the guidance to be successful or whether you think coaches weren't honest with the kid as to the level of his talent. 1 Quote

I agree, education first, work through adversity instead of leaving, i understand kids moving but at some point enough is enough, just my opinion Quote
Zippy7373 Posted April 24, 2021 Report Posted April 24, 2021 It’s more of probably his parents I researched this kid he was at Maryland when all that DJ Durkin stuff happened. Went juco then Lafayette now is then now in the portal. Maybe his parents are telling him he is better. He was a walk-on that didn’t play and wasn’t gonna play. 1 Quote

ZIPFAN21 Posted April 28, 2021 Report Posted April 28, 2021 How about the kid transferred to Akron when the roster was a little thin. Kato having surgery on his shoulder, Gibson and Marousek were Freshman, TJ was a sophomore that hadn't played. So the thought being come here and compete. Now with DJ Irons and Janokowski here he was buried on the depth chart. With the availability of the transfer portal and no path to play here at Akron it's probably in his best interest to go FCS. (Which is probably where he should have gone out of HS). Good luck to him and his journey. 3 Quote
Zippy7373 Posted April 28, 2021 Report Posted April 28, 2021 You would think this guy is a full time coach how he is active on Twitter. He definitely give tips and sells his own brand for sure. I don’t see any full time coaches at Akron doing thisn 1 Quote
Blue & Gold Posted April 28, 2021 Report Posted April 28, 2021 Coach Oscar Rodriguez @CoachZoneEyes is quite active. Coach Tommy Zagorski @AkronCoachZ Coach Devin Jordan @CoachJordan82 Coach Deonte Gibson @Coach_DGibson ...are all pretty active on twitter. Especially Coaches Rodriguez & Z. (But a lot of it is family stuff & not necessarily related to Zips football.) Quote
LZIp Posted April 28, 2021 Report Posted April 28, 2021 yeah I personally feel like this staff is quite active, at least compared to the prior. Arth isn't a social media guy, but the others seem to be for the most part. Quote
Zippy7373 Posted April 28, 2021 Report Posted April 28, 2021 When I said that I meant more program type stuff. Especially when we don’t get coverage of the program I was thinking more of posting the program along with personal life stuff 1 Quote
zipsoutsider Posted April 29, 2021 Report Posted April 29, 2021 Hard to say anyone failed, including the player. No shade for a guy trying to find a way to play. It's his risk to take to transfer. Quote
