Zipmeister Posted February 3, 2024 Report Share Posted February 3, 2024 On 12/21/2023 at 2:31 PM, Ham said: I am really perplexed that we didn't see Wasel at all this year. He could have retained his red shirt after apearing in 4 games. QB room: Bullack--He can run, but can we move the ball against 8 men on the line of scrimage? Wasel--Who knows? In coming freshman--good luck. Potential JUCO or portal addition--Maybe our best hope. Expand The Zip's QB room is better described as a tool closet in a detached garage.

Therefore, I'm concerned, but hopeful that a guy who has been rated as highly as D.D. is moving from Oregon to Akron because of his deep respect for the Zip's head coach, and not because of some dubious circumstances.

I’m assuming Greenwood, Fields, and David are on scholarship, wile Freeman and Mobley are PWO. Terray Jones has been removed. Sean Conroy is still listed and apparently applying for a 5th year of eligibility.

Did something happen on official visit that he didn’t like? Did Syracuse kick him to the curb last minute? Would love to know the story of what happened. Dino Babers was fired in November, maybe the new staff didn’t want him, but if so, very odd to pull the carpet out from him right before signing day. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that he was telling the truth, it sure sounds like Syracuse decided to go a different direction. Maybe the new coaching staff will be running a defense that they don’t feel is a good fit for Tristen. Regardless, this is a very good signing for the Zips. I think this type of thing happens way more than people realize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but aside from the two posted today, I believe all the other new commits we're aware of since early signing day are already shown on our roster. Would think they would be announced, but if not I don't think its anything to be nervous about. Wouldn't be on roster if they weren't here IMO. I'm showing us as having 4 open schollies at this point, so we have room for new commits, but I suspect most will be used after another wave of players hit the portal after spring ball. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand You're correct. They are already listed on the current roster. I didn't see any social media posted of them signing & hadn't looked at the spring roster. Well, today was pretty uneventful. I'll go ahead and update Post #1 as having them all signed, sealed, and delivered. Go Zips! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catdaddyp Posted February 7, 2024 Report Share Posted February 7, 2024 This has been the most uneventful national signing day I can recall. The first signing day, along with the portal, has really changed recruiting. In any case, it’s another great class and I assume we’ll fill the last handful of spots with JUCO and/or portal guys.
