Exactly the type of transfer that could follow Moorhead here. Home, PAC12 familiarity, stud.

This thread is going to be awfully discombobulated this year.  I'm going to keep going with it while continuously updating the initial post.

 

Also, I'm going to post offers I've seen posted on twitter, even if they're not giving us a verbal commitment.

He included a pic of former teammate Zach Morton. I’m sure Morton and Ferri are all over him.

1 year of eligibility remaining. Should he spend that at Akron, let's go. Build that foundation for the program under Moorhead!

what would progress look like? beating out toledo for recruits.

JoeMo said they weren't going to be doing anything this early signing period, so it's probably going to be pretty quiet here for a few weeks.

I heard him say the that too, and wondered....anything? 🧐

Groundhog Day can't get here soon enough.  Are transfers limited to the same signing periods?

6'6" DE.

 

Went to MSU with Moorhead, left after his departure and transferred to Memphis. Now is coming to Akron to reunite with Moorhead. Had offers from Louisville, Memphis, and Mississippi State out of high school. Big kid.

Sorry, I have been traveling and out of the loop for the last several days.  Have the Zips signed anyone during this early period in which 80 - 90% of the high players sign their LOI?

I was told by one of the recruits Akron pulled all their offers when they let Arth go.  You have seen a few of them sign elsewhere.  

[Blue & Gold]

I'm just gonna drop this here. This is cool.  (I am getting OLD!!)

Like what I am seeing so far. I believe both Wiley and Threatt will both technically still be underclassman, so they aren't one and done types and have a lot of potential IMO. 

 

Just think...we're still probably looking at least at a dozen or so more of these types, and would still have the ability to add another 17 high schoolers on top of that (32 total due to transfer outs). I'll be interested to see how the staff decides to break up that allocation in their first year.

 

Still would be nice if we could retain any of Gibson, Mumpfield, and Mathison...but it seems unlikely. Gibson and Mumpfield both seem destined for P5 and Mathison may want to get back to GA. He's only picked up a couple G5 offers so far though (including GA Southern). With Qualls also gone, we are all of the sudden looking very thin/young at WR.

Im gonna ask this again. If a young man wants to play for the Zips, who da heck do he contact. I don't see any contact info for coaches on our team page.

You could ask the kids that committed. I bet they talked to someone first
