Former Mooney standout Ray Vinopal

Rumored to be leaving Michigan to be closer to home.  Wonder if he's considering YSU?  Nothing official yet

I have a few comments, none of which I will post here, but look me up at the spring practices and I will talk your ear off.

He's just not good enough to play here.

Sounds like a joke to me.  Ray would make a huge impact on our secondary.

Ray is a very hard worker and overachiever.  He was a RichRod recruit, 2 star Rivals, and questioned by many as to why he was recruited.  He wasn't even supposed to sniff the field except for special teams.  But, due to attrition and injuries in the secondary he got his shot and made the most of it.  He performed better than many thought.  Ray is a sure tackler, but average in coverage.  He was a true freshman so he was learning on the job.  If he decides to transfer to YSU, they are lucky to have him.

From the presser today....
"Ray decided to go back to Youngstown, and that issue is more of a family issue," Hoke said.

Vinopal appeared in all 13 games last year, including seven at safety. He started six games and notched 33 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, one interception and three pass breakups.

The transfer to Pitt is what I knew for sure.  The reason is all hearsay and rumors right now.  You know how this town and how Mooney fans are, can't believe anything.


According to Mooney Nation, every kid that starts for them should be getting a ride, etc. etc. etc.

Heck, I always thought that every kid that plays for them already IS getting a ride!

Don't know why Ray would follow him, Tony Gibson is a terrible coach
