Time to walk away and leave the detritus for Kent. Looking forward to seeing what kind of team Joe & Co. can mold Akron’s ‘23 Soldiers of Fortune into. Set to beam one up Captain. Set your Phaizon to stun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted May 21, 2023 Report Share Posted May 21, 2023 This offense is going to be insane as long as Joe Mo is here. Stockpiling talent and depth at every position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) Can't imagine him de-committing would mean anything but one of two things: He knows of a better offer or offers incoming, or we have a better prospect we know that is committing.

I think it could actually mean any one, or more, of a boatload of things. e.g., he grabbed at the offer, then looked at the Zip's record in recent years, then (not intended to slam chickens) he chickened out. OR he could have grabbed at the offer, then looked at the other OLs the zips have recently signed, and then he chickened out. Edited May 30, 2023 by Zipmeister .

I’ll have to do some digging to find out what made him choose Grambling, but check out his offer list out of high school. Here’s his HS hudl film.

You only dip into the juco market if you have to. In general they are much riskier than transfers or high school kids. Seems like we have way more than most this year but it is what it is. For a program that is stuck in a ditch you need to take some risks, I get it. Just hope they are good on, and off, the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Phaizon is really 6'4", the young lady conducting the interview is 6'6" minimum. Maybe we should check to determine if she has any basketball eligibility left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Student-athlete" is the biggest joke marketing label when it comes to football and basketball. These are employees of the universities, and their job is to make the universities money. Period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catdaddyp Posted November 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 I haven’t spoken to him or seen an offer yet, but Maddox is a kid we had on campus and were in on before the P5 offers came in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
