Yeah Gathings leaving is the biggest talent leaving so far, but WR is probably the position I’m least concerned with on this team.

The Zips need a serviceable place kicker.

This one hurts.

 

He may have been the cause of multiple penalties, but his teammates said he might be the hardest worker on the team. Big big loss. We don't even sniff competitive games the second half of this year without him.

...and misspell your head coach's name in your thank you post.  LOL.  Hopefully, his new team will equip his helmet with a muzzle.

Hoban- Arizona State- OSU's Chip Trayanum in the portal.  Call him and tell him he can play both ways for the Zips!

[egregiousbob]

He's looking for NIL money.

I'll kick in $20.  Who's with me?

I'll do it in Gifts In Kind such as Great Lakes Christmas Ale. That should get him here.

[Captain Kangaroo]

If nil is what he wants, I can promise he’ll get nil from me.

No loss here. The guy was not worth the bad attitude.

TE Nik Ognenovic in the portal. That’s leaves only two scholarship TEs and only one with significant game action on offense.

Played his way into a P5 gig and probably a little NIL $. Too bad we didn’t get more out of him besides just a year of strong play.

Can someone give me a quick rundown? How bad of trouble are we in?

Ask me after our transfer QB signs.

17 transfers out so far (not including a few walk-ons who did not see the field). End of season starters are WR Jasaiah Gathings, S Corey Thomas, OL Nate Williams, CB Tyson Durant. The rest are depth players with varying range of potential. 
 

The only incoming portal addition to date (not including JUCO) is OL Laurence Seymore who is already on campus.

 

At the moment, 13 HS prospects and 1 JUCO are publicly committed.

 

WMU has the most portal departures with 18, but Ohio has been hit the hardest in terms of quality.

 

Today marks one week the portal has been open and already over 100 MAC players have entered. Full MAC list can be seen here.

Manchester RB Ethan Wright has entered the TP

DT Devon Robinson in the portal. I thought he was already out of eligibility.

Former Zips WR Oran Singleton committed to Eastern Michigan out of JUCO.

I liked him. His HS highlight tape was laughably awesome. He's a little on the small side & I think he got hurt early in his freshman season here & so didn't see any PT.
