ZippyDoo Posted Tuesday at 02:32 AM Report Posted Tuesday at 02:32 AM (edited) Good point LZip. I never claimed to be the brightest. I assumed he decommitted before the offer from Akron came but you could be right. He had decent numbers. I'm willing to give anyone a chance. Edited Tuesday at 02:32 AM by ZippyDoo 1 Quote
catdaddyp Posted Tuesday at 04:30 AM Report Posted Tuesday at 04:30 AM Looks like Myers went the JUCO route out of high school before landing at ODU, while Hilburn will be coming straight from JUCO. Both receivers were very productive at that level, albeit as two different types of players. Hilburn looks like a guy who could step right in on both kickoff and punt return. If Brookhart can get similar production out of them as they had in JUCO, then these two commitments should be excellent additions. 1 Quote
Blue & Gold Posted Tuesday at 10:44 PM Author Report Posted Tuesday at 10:44 PM (edited) By my count this currently gives us 14 signings. 10 offense: 6 OL 1 QB 3 WR 4 defense: 2 LB 2 DB We still need some DL and an upperclassman QB. Ps. Zips' OL coach Joel Rodriguez is one hell of a recruiter. Edited Wednesday at 02:50 AM by Blue & Gold 4 Quote

catdaddyp Posted 5 hours ago Report Posted 5 hours ago 34 minutes ago, AkronAlumnus said: According to PFF, he played in all 12 games and started two. He was targeted 31 times, giving up roughly 61% completion and over 420 yards. That’s not good. For comparison, Reed was targeted 40 times, allowed about 57%, but gave up only 205 yards. Newsome clearly has the physical ability. I’m hoping the rest of his game can get cleaned up and he produces at a higher level for us. 2 Quote

If so, I think we’re set on paper at least at starting CB. Catrell White was the day 1 starter last year (and was looking really good), but has had season ending injuries each of the past 2 seasons. Hopefully he can stay healthy. Quote

DeWalt should be out of eligibility, but with all the rule changes, who knows? If that’s the case, it leaves White, Thomas, Newsome, K. Johnson, plus the incoming freshmen. We carried six cornerbacks last year, so I’d expect another addition or two. Edited 2 hours ago by catdaddyp Quote
