Or is it selfish to want a player to risk a career-altering injury for the betterment of the team in a meaningless game, designed in the first place to make money for corporations/media/Universities/NCAA figureheads? 1 Quote

Graduated HS in 2019, Redshirted as a freshman in 19, played mostly on special teams the last 2 years, with the Covid year, he still should have 3 more seasons. Have to trust the coaches that he is an upgrade. In Joe We Trust!!!! Quote

If he was the starting QB for Reynoldsburg High School I saw him play at Upper Arlington to open this past high school season. He nearly willed the team to victory over what ended up being one of the best teams in the state Edited January 9, 2022 by GJGood 1 Quote

Do you have any idea how much NFL drafting insurance policies are? I'm not gonna lie dude...you seem really out of touch. Here's the NCAA's numbers on it. The best insurance policies will do is "up to $10-million". I doubt it's even easy to 'prove' your losses too, most end up getting denied according to the NCAA, and they cost around $30,000 a year for football players. How many college fringe NFL players (rounds 5-7) got $30,000 laying around? And if you're already being considered for Rounds 1-4 there's probably nothing in a Bowl game that's going to shift your value, other than getting injured. Why spend $30,000 to roll the dice on getting an insurance claim denied, instead of rolling the dice on being drafted without the risk in a meaningless game that exists only for old Alumni to drink beer on a weeknight? Like c'mon man... Edited January 9, 2022 by TheZipCat Quote

Ah yes, but there is an i in Capitalism, Investment and Business. These are adults. This is a business. I'm not sure if you haven't heard but the NCAA, ESPN, and all these media outlets make billions. I can't believe I'm the one defending capitalism...but there it is.

bigjim Posted January 11, 2022 Report Posted January 11, 2022 After so many great acquisitions via transfer portal and high school recruiting, we have gone like 3 days with no activity. I continue to be eagerly awaiting more additions to the team. Let's go coaches, close more deals. In Joe We Trust!!! 3 Quote

So c'mon...you can deal better with opinions you don't agree with than that take. 😆 Quote
Zippyroo Posted January 11, 2022 Report Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) Looks like Tyler Leopold has reopened his recruitment. Why would new OL coach "Like" that tweet unless new coaches did not think he was worthy? Seemed like a solid kid coming out of HS. Edited January 11, 2022 by Zippyroo 1 Quote

Probably will be or one of the highest ranked players coming out of highschool to suit up for Akron. I know, I know it's a transfer and I know, I know stars don't always equal success.
