ZippityDoooDuh Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Special teams took some hits. Perez is a solid kicker and the snapper hit the portal, too. They’re left with great players in Wiley, Castle and Jackson, but the chemistry between them may be thrown a bit. Did we sign a new punter, even though we have Jackson and Castle? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipsfan10 Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 I’ve read the same. It appears he had several visits with them early on his HS timeline. He was a star in Oklahoma and first team all state with impressive numbers through out his career so makes sense if so. Wish it had worked out here, but best of luck to him. Still a fan of Wasel. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll probably start out 3rd on the depth chart there too, behind another 2024 Ohio native QB we offered - Brendan Zurbrugg. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72 Roo Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 I don't have a clue as to everything that went into his decision to hit the portal, but I'll offer this. If he was going to sit behind other QB's he might as well go to Oklahoma and sit in a place that is close to home. He loses a scholarship but maybe he's happier being close to home while having the chance to win a scholly if he does well. Akron is a long way from home just to sit on the bench. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When lifting starts in June local guys can still make it home to see friends and family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he was a backup and was one of the 4 (?) defenders that decided to preserve their eligibility and hit the portal 4 games in. Thomas did start 4 games in the middle of the 2022 season and played well. Once Holt was fully healthy, it knocked Thomas into a backup role. This past season, Jones and Lavea locked down the starting roles. On the bright side, Thomas hitting the portal allowed Moore to have an opportunity. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catdaddyp Posted July 30 Author Report Share Posted July 30 (edited) Ka’Marrii Landers recruitment has heated up lately. Offers from Arkansas and South Carolina in the past few days. Hope he does well, but frustrating as he would have likely been a 4 year starter at LT for us. Edited July 30 by catdaddyp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueandgold Posted September 4 Report Share Posted September 4 I actually heard from a pretty reliable source that CJ Price is transferring from Jackson State to San Diego State. I'm not sure on the exact timeframe, but what ever it is, I'm guessing he won't be playing in any games for Jackson State this year. Curious how this is going to work out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72 Roo Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 I always get a kick out reading Catdaddyp's review of how much playing time former Zips get with their new clubs. After reviewing all the transferred players I've come to the conclusion we didn't lose as much as what we gained thru the portal. Still I wish we could have held on to a few, especially RT Nate Williams. He would have improved our weak OL. I can't help but wonder how good our DB's would have been if Tyson Durant and Corey Thomas had stayed. We picked up good replacements, but depth is a luxury we need against this schedule. Overall, the talent is improving under JoMo and I believe that will continue if Jo hangs in there. Still, I hate losing good ones, but I can't blame them for wanting to play for winning programs and possibly have the chance to get NIL dollars, which I hate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
