Left handed shot blocker and dunker.  Looks like athletic ability is ahead of basketball skills at this time.

Last nights game was bad and the way they played getting up 35 -7 had us all thinking maybe we're better than we thought and then the beat down happened.   
I'm not dumping on the coach or staff this season since we all know this is a total rebuild and he needs to up grade in multiple areas.

I like Crenshaw toughness and he's like another running back as a qb but his mechanics are not there yet and I'm hoping with experience he can get to another level.  Not sure he's the guy but there's a lot of football to be played.   

The D-line needs an infusion of speed of the edge.  Hoping for a Derek Rivers type to show up.

  Patience is needed although I understand the emotions of last night debacle.

Coach's monotone voice had me sleeping.  I think he said Crenshaw and Craycraft are still battling it out and Waid  is playing a new position.  He mentioned the two transfer wide outs along with St.surin and that CJ Charleston was going to be someone to watch.  Most of the interview was coach talk.

Love the video of Jorge regardless that it was his highlights.   One wierd thing is the ratio of 7 tds on on 168 catches that comes out to a touchdown for every 24 catches.  Last year both OSU wr had 7 tds on about 50 catches that comes out to a touchdown for every 7 catches.

You can argue that OSU/Lehigh are apple an oranges.  Really could not use YSU wr since our pa$$ing game last season was very limited and that's being nice.

With so many on the roster I got to believe some of the frosh will red-shirt unless they come in and really shine.  I'm thinking Chicone and Lucarotti but you never know how they mature & grow over last season.

Yes,Irwin can really stroke it and has a college senior body already.

Never saw him play but if you're the #4 ranked player then I would expect him to be one and done.

Tyler Foster was a 3 star recruit that played one season at YSU after transfering from ECU.  I can't think of anyone else that we had that was higher than a 2 star.

Naz busted his butt for four years for the Penguins.   Can't blame the guy for going to a higher level.

I think the free agent sytem (transfer portal) is not just isolated to YSU but is to all of college basketball.  If you just completed your freshman season and sat the bench and you see a bunch of new recruits then maybe it's a good option.  I know a lot of us want to see these guys work and develop but w're not privy to the dialogue that the coach and the player are having.  It looks like everyone is going to lose some and gain some.   Not sure we're bringing in anyone as good as naz & DQ but collectively with all the newcomers and what is returning they might just surprise us.

Mud, I'm also curious about Kelly's status.

Michael Akuche 6-8 sr
Jamir Thomas 6-8 sr
William Dunn 6-8 soph
Josh Irwin 6-7 frosh
Jacori Owens 6-9 frosh

Two offers on guys both 6-8 in the transfer portal.  Hopefully we'll get one of them.
There's a little size.
