YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Beeghly Center

Yea with success obviously the attendance would (should) increase. It just seems like the Beeghly Center is outdated and stuck in the past. Especially when you look at venues like NKU of Oakland in comparison.

This

should move home games to covelli center with student section on the floor and everyone else in chairs

Because he will graduate in May, he would not have to sit out next year regardless of where he transfers, but he'll probably go pro.  I believe most of the draft "experts" have him going no later than the 3rd round.

I just checked and currently Jones is ranked the 6th best QB in the draft right behind NDSU QB Carson Wentz


RANK   PLAYER   POS.   POS. RANK   SCHOOL   CLASS   HT.   WT.   PROJ. ROUND
4   Paxton Lynch   QB   1   Memphis   rJr   6-6   230   1
10   Jared Goff   QB   2   California   Jr   6-4   210   1
15   Connor Cook   QB   3   Michigan State   rSr   6-4   220   1
49   Christian Hackenberg   QB   4   Penn State   Jr   6-4   236   2
59   Carson WentzInjured   QB   5   North Dakota State   Sr   6-5   231   2
81   Cardale Jones   QB   6   Ohio State   rJr   6-5   250   2-3
92   Dak Prescott   QB   7   Mississippi State   rSr   6-2   230   3

he is a rsJR so he would have to go to 1-aa and since ohio state kids have a history of going there If he were to transfer he would go to Illinois State

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: YSU Football ends at 5-6. What now?

« on: November 22, 2015, 06:27:44 PM »

looking forward to 2016 some observations

#1 we need a QB transfer. With Nebraska pushing out Pelinis QB's maybe we can get one to come here to start

#2 Our Offense has been subpar. You could argue its coaching or execution but I dont think its arguable that our offensive line has taken a step back with wolford gone (understandably)

#3 Ruiz needs to get healthy. He was a step slow all year and I suspect it has to do with the injury at the Pitt game never fully healing but we need 2 healthy running backs

#4 With the senior leadership on defense (best defensive team we have had in years) its important to get in talents (secondary and linebacker) to help prevent a regression in play)


Personally I wish we would go away from the spread offense and go to a pro set but this is a personal preference

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: YSU vs Kent State B-ball

« on: November 15, 2015, 02:35:08 PM »

I was at the game and my impressions is our inside defense is horrible. We are unable to rebound or block shots and we are forced to play zone to hide this weakness from our bigs on defense.

On offense Hain forced it early but was getting good looks in the 2nd half. I expected Kent State to blow them out because of all the new faces and with a minute left it was a 3 point game which was a plesent suprise.

On side note I stayed and watched akron vs cleveland state. Cleveland State can not score and they know it thus they go full court press extremely aggressive defense.

I dont know how well we match up vs the press but with them being unable to score and us scoring vs Kent state i like our shot

I remember UNI QB when he was recruited to Illinois, he was a 4 star stud QB. Dont understand why he didnt work out better there

Cancel all other sports and send everything to football.  It is the only sport that matters.

make cheerleading a sport and you got title nine covered

The article didn't actually say he was transferring to YSU. Its not official yet. But it is leaking he was interested in leaving. Not sure why either if its about playing time. He will see quite abit on a top 5 defense no less. But glad to get him! Per Joe Scalzo on twitter: "I can confirm there's mutual interest between Jalyn Powell (Michigan State / Warren Harding) and YSU. Expect decision either way next week". He tweeted that on June 12. Hope it does become official this week!

Sparty right now has the #2 recruiting class in the nation for next year (tOSU #1) with alot of good linebackers coming in. This might have something to do with the transfer
