For example Dijon was recently upgraded on 247 from zero to 3* and Brian McCoy from a zero to 2* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if it was him but he hasn't tweeted anything official yet. Since 247 has the 411 (do the cool kids still say that, or is that pre-Google) I'll go ahead and put him on the updated Post #1. Sheesh. 6'5" 330 lbs. JoeMo is not messing around on the OL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Nice weapon at TE. Had offers from Va Tech and Iowa St, among other MAC schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Just saw that Arizona State is making a very late push to get Tyhler Williams as they’ve offered him. It’s tough for me being a Zips fan to think we’ll be able to retain him, but If we do, all the more impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty high percentage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty high percentage. Years ago 100% used to be the top percentage. Lately I've seen them up to 10,000%. But, perhaps it doesn't matter how committed a prospect is. I noticed on 247 that one of our latest recruits was 100% committed to Campbell before committing to the Zips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjim Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 It is now officially Christmas/Signing day Eve morning. This is the longest day of the year as we wait for the new gifts/players. It will be very curious to see if we get any more players and if we lose players that had previously committed to the University of Akron. I have to believe the coaches are working extra hard and long today. Cheers to a Merry Christmas/Signing day. In Joe We Trust!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, they are the same thing. When one is referring to the University of Alabama in the morning one should use Alabama A&M, but when referring to them in the afternoon one should use Alabama P&M. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably as good an explanation as any. That Akron Echo tweet does smack of dumping Gatorade on your coach when there’s still time remaining. I’m waiting for the clock to show all zeros before I begin any victory laps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think/know if there is any sort of LOI for transfers. I'd guess all who committed in time to enroll in January are already on campus and working out with the team. Though I'm sure all new scholarship additions will be announced by the University. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you open administrativeGuidelines.pdf - National Letter of Intent http://www.nationalletter.org A transfer coming from a junior college is permitted to sign a NLI, but “Four-year college transfers are not permitted to sign an NLI; therefore, are not bound by NLI signing dates to sign an athletics aid agreement.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyZip Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Zips got a commitment from 2nd Team All-Ohio McKinley OL Stefan Monahan (Can't link the tweet right now). Don't see much else out there about him, but he's a big kid: 6'8" 300lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) I wonder if at this point we're treading into PWO territory outside of anyone obvious (multiple offers and what not). I don't see anything about an offer from anyone on his twitter profile and bringing in 5 freshman OL seems a bit excessive. He may be on scholly though as our OL was pretty thin. I hope we can get some more clarity in the coming days. Edited February 1, 2022 by LZIp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyZip Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Took a look at the roster and the batch of OL recruits: Current roster average: 6'4.5", 283.1 lbs Recruit average: 6'5.5", 307.2 lbs Granted, size isn't everything, but there's a pretty obvious focus on talent and size in the trenches. Love it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Kato is one of the best things to ever happen to this program. Irons is there and could flourish. We'll see tomorrow who the rest of the class is.

LZIp Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) I for one would be shocked if there is no transfer QB brought in, though it may not be until after spring ball when more options become available. I'm not sure if Marousek and Jankowski are a fit for what Moorhead wants to do. I could be wrong though. If not, all we have after Irons is Jennings.
