Funny he’s been offered as I was going through and updating a bunch of JUCO profiles in the Rivals database last night and he was one of them. If I’m not mistaken, he is going to wait until after this signing period to commit. What percentage of our class from each area of recruit (high school, JUCO, transfer portal) do you expect to sign tomorrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d expect all of our current commits to sign tomorrow. The portal still has a few weeks left for this session, so we may not see much activity on signing day from those prospects.

Looks like guys in the portal are waiting to see if they can sign with someone, anyone, other than Akron. Hope the leftovers that we get can help the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems that way right now, but we’ll land some difference makers. So far, nearly 2,000 players have entered the portal and this is just the first window.

If my memory is correct, Hunter was in the last recruiting class by Muschamp/Robinson and Beamer honored the offer when he took over. Hunter would be a solid pickup as far as talent goes, but he doesn’t have much experience. He had little to no chance of playing at Carolina due to the amount of talent in the defensive backfield now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Base on Tre Bell's activity on Twitter, I would imagine we address the DB group via the Portal - heavily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, a definite upgrade in talent level, however I'm worried about him staying on the field because it's sounds like he may be injury prone.

Let'sGoZips94 Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 5* recruits have highly-talented friends. Those highly-talented friends have other highly-talented friends. The spiderweb of talent that could find its way to Akron from these Portal adds like Lingard would really expedite the rise of the program. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy5 Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Lingard has 286 career yards. I don't mean to be a debbie downer, but this guy was a 5 star 5+ years and a knee surgery ago.

I remember under Arth and Bowden when we were recruiting guys that we were their only FBS offer and they weren't even rated by rivals, people here were like star ratings don't matter. Going back 5 years to look at how someone was perceived out of high school is even more useless. Not to say he can't contribute for us as obviously we lacked talent in many areas. But what he did on the field in his limited opportunity over the last 5 years means a lot more than his star ratings coming out of high school.

According to his Twitter we are his only offer. We should take at least one high school DT in each class and if a local guy is deserving to play on this level I’m all for it. He doesn’t seem as explosive as Murphy on film, but if he can clog up running lanes and keep OL off LBs then that sounds good to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
