i've liked zmolik since his hs recruiting videos. the kid was our most efficient receiver last year, and i think can do it on a more regular basis. next year's team will have a slew of offensive weapons. the question is if the line will be ready. what, don't we have arkansas in week 2?

i was with you h2o

Before the Landry commit I was wondering if they would experiment with Zmolik split out more as a receiver.

My biggest concern right now with commits is Harbaugh. He will be out trying to take guys away from OSU and MSU that were going to UM, but flipped when Hoke and staff were about to be fired - then were all fired. It is the domino effect - probably more a concern with MSU than OSU. I don't know if we have any recruits they would come after, but this late in the game, you know there is going to be some ripple effect as UM tries to fill out their recruiting wish list.

Played receiver. Maybe he'll look for the ball.

That would be outstanding.

6'3" cornerback...yes, please.

The JUCO OL (Sami Kassem) that early enrolled has been upgraded to a 3-star on Rivals.com 6'4" 320 lbs..that's real nice size.

A couple of huge losses just recently in the 2015 recruiting classes for our fellow MAC brethren's and I certainly feel for them. Ohio lost a RB commit to Northwestern. Niu suffered a huge blow as their QB commit for the '15 class pretty much committed on the spot once he was offered by Wisconsin just a few days ago (Story here). He'd been committed to Niu for quite some time now, but once the big boys start knocking on the door, the MAC gets screwed. Here's the catch about that one, Wisconsin offered him as a LB, not QB. Why he chooses to go to Wisky to sit on the bench at LB when he could be shredding up MAC defenses as a QB, maybe make a name for himself like so many other great QBs to come out of the MAC, is beyond my knowledge.

Exactly what the "Power 5" schools want...

How many athletes you know that don't believe they can play at the level they end up on? The next one I meet will be the first.

6-3, 4.46. I like him. At safety.

Aaron Covington and Allen Covington. Are they brothers. Both from Florida but different high schools. Would seem to give Toledo a edge on anyone else. However it didn't help us with Archie Donald. Archie told me one day he thought his brother would attend UT. I hope this Aaron likes what we have to offer.

FSU OL Ruben Carter is transferring to Toledo. Will be a 5th year senior. Graduated from FSU, so eligible to play this year.

This seems like a huge get for us.

nice addition. good job with the early juco addition and this guy. adds some veteran comp to the mix on the opine and will speed up the rebuilding.

Mitch Guadagni named Cleveland area High School athlete of the year.

RB Calvin Bransford tweeted he is going to sign with Toledo.

It says Jr. So I am assuming this is early 1990's TE Calvin Branford's son. Kevin Meger, Marcus Goodwin and Calvin willed us to victory over Purdue in 1992.

Think that Cal's son...believe he is in the Dayton area.

That Purdue game was fun...enjoyed singing our fight song afterwards, while jumping on their logo midfield...good times
