Captain Kangaroo Posted January 26, 2023 Report Posted January 26, 2023 Akron outside his "Top 3". Wonder what happened with Duke? A new recruiting stat - Paul's NIL value is $18.3k? Will "NIL value" replace "stars" one day? Quote

Captain Kangaroo Posted January 26, 2023 Report Posted January 26, 2023 I can't imagine a Georgia kid would come to Akron in late January without being seriously interested in becoming a Zip? 3 Quote

Clearly has the talent to play at a P5. I do wonder which of the other offers still stand. Miss. State, Liberty, and Jackson State had coaching changes. Duke is probably off the table. Who knows what Vanderbilt, MTSU, and Campbell’s boards look like at this point. I’d have to think we are in a great position to land him. Quote

Agreed, and if you consider who the Liberty, Miss State, & Jackson State offers were initially from (RIP Coach Leach), there's an obvious talent with this kid. Side note - what an absolutely 💩 situation for Paul. 3 of your best offers have coaching changes because 2 were hired elsewhere and a third passed away. No idea what happened with Duke.

I’ll give it to this coaching staff, they are scouring every level of football to find some linemen. Hobart is D3 in football. 1 Quote

There's a difference between recruiting D3 talent at the D1 level, and recruiting D1 talent that was at the D3 level. 3 Quote

Not easy to get excited about a D3 prospect and no staff will have a 100% hit rate. However, if the player has the ability to succeed here, I’m all for it. OL is one of the hardest positions to recruit (especially in the portal). I’d be concerned if we were taking a bunch of D2 and D3 guys, but that isn’t the case. Quote
Blue & Gold Posted January 31, 2023 Author Report Posted January 31, 2023 On Post #1 I've listed OL Ben Frank as a scholarship player and Aiden Diaz and Langston Ragland as PWO's, though Langston's post is the only one which specifies him as a PWO. 1 Quote
taylormade28 Posted January 31, 2023 Report Posted January 31, 2023 I'm sorry i've been off of here but Jester is a nice pick up him and Zayden knows each other and played 7 on 7 this pass season this pass year 4 Quote

LZIp Posted February 1, 2023 Report Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) Some higher quality guys it appears in the 2nd signing day. Seems like a lot of safeties though, wonder if any will play CB/Nickel. Edited February 1, 2023 by LZIp 1 Quote
