Thank goodness that we weren't asked to respect his decision.

Not entirely sure where to put this. JoeMo's son has been ranked the #1 Pro-Style QB in OH & #29 in the Nation for the 2026 class.

Of all the great public and private football schools in NEO.... Joe sends his kid to Hawken??

But I do! I really, really do! 😂

Genuinely surprised we haven't had more players hit the portal yet. Figured Joe would have shown more guys the door. I guess maybe some could be deciding to move on from football that we don't know about.

Maybe some of those guys who didn’t see any game action showed enough progress for the staff to think they can contribute going forward?

Joe can’t technically show them the door in year 2,  he can in year 1 when he 1st takes over the team

The only thing I learned from this article is that GT thinks Curtis Harper is coming back for another year. 😐

The insulting fact that GT doesn't give two 💩💩's about covering Akron is obvious in each discombobulated paragraph.

Not sure how a guy who has direct access to JoeMo can whiff on information about Harper and also leave out other key players that are coming back like Holt, Thompson, etc.

I’m surprised we didn’t see more in the first week too, but I’m sure there will be more players exiting soon. Almost every team ends up losing 1 or 2 guys that should have stayed. So far, so good.

I forget the number, but something like 45% of players in the TP never land on another team. Before a player jumps he had better have another school or become a washout.

George also stated that excessive sacks caused DJI’s injury. His shoulder was busted from reaching for the goal line. 
 

Also stated that RB should be a target for the TP due to the overall rushing numbers. Did he actually watch any Akron football this year?

He's an embarrassment for the University.

Are we all in agreement that Clyde Price is leaving? Singlehandedly cost us two games with fumbles. I figured it is more of a when then if.

I heard he tried to enter the Transfer Portal several times but kept dropping his paperwork, so he didn't.

Checking in on Jordan Daniels, no FBS offers. FAMU, Samford, Gardner Webb,  etc.

I think he’d do well at all of those schools. I imagine a few more OL will hit the portal once we land some OL portal/JUCO commitments.

He was the 6th leading tackler on a 2 win MAC team.  That's pretty solid!

 

There's a Tim Terry who is player personnel director for the Chiefs.  If that's dad, he'll get a tryout somewhere out of professional courtesy.

Weird. That tweet is from yesterday but he wasn't even on the roster this year, was he?  I thought he transferred last year?

He’s probably just posting that as a reminder. Unfortunately, if he didn’t find a school last year, the odds of finding one this year are slim.
