They announced Reese on the scoreboard at the game today. Nice touch.

Feels like we should be set on offense aside from the TE position. Nice that we kept Williams/Mason/Gant/Patrick. Still feels like we have a lot of work to do on the defensive side.

This needs a deep ZNO investigation. Could H.R.Pufnstuf be positioning himself to replace Zippy? Could this signing be the avenue in which H.R. weasels into UA? I smell conspiracy.

Is Elijah Alexander still committed to The University of Akron? He was our one tight end transfer and is 6-4 235 lbs. I believe Vann Kavals is moving from DL to TE this spring.

IDK but if he leads us to a MACC in football I might have to consider changing my ZNO handle to HRPRulz..

I believe the portal deadline has passed now. Players can no longer enter the portal but those who did enter can still commit to a new school if they haven't yet. Is that right?

I’m a fan of this pickup. I tracked the Hayden brothers recruitment out of high school during my time at Rivals. He has more upside than he’s shown. Perhaps our DL coach will get it out of him.

jake newell to toledo

Would be a HUGE pickup if we somehow landed him.  Would surely soften the blow from Hayden to EKU

I can’t believe EKU beat us out?!

keshawn hayden is the one that backed out of the zips and chose eastern kentucky...

 

i was looking at this  cam williams. his agent says that he has 10 FBS offers and he will be announcing soon. He lists 6'5 the school site has him at 6'3 both have him at 250... decent stats at atlanta clark. 

 

offers i saw were Troy, akron, memphis, eastern carolina, middle tennessee state, coastal carolina, western kentucky, jax state

 

i dontknow if all those r fbs but those r the offers i saw on his site... so we shall see. he looks like a tackle. looks very thick.

Hobson was a starter at two different DII schools before transferring to Old Dominion. He didn’t see much playing time at ODU.

 

McNeil was ranked the #82 best cornerback by Rivals out of high school, but for whatever reason hasn’t developed to that level. He’s very long and could end up growing into a safety if he adds some mass.

that's great 2 more cbs to fill spots
