Interesting to note how Terry Bowden has built Akron since taking over the program - I counted approximately 29 , yes 29, transfers from either jc route or other colleges and universities including Ohio State, Miami, Missouri, Pittsburgh, Nebraska, Utah State, Weber State, Boston College, Indiana, Iowa, Western Michigan, Rutgers, West Virginia, and Michigan. Will be interesting to see how App's homegrown talent matches up against all of the transfer U type of player. I am looking for us to bounce back this week and come out with a fire.

Wow that's a ton of transfers. Kind of taking a short cut isn't he?

Hard to recruit in the mid west unless you're Michigan, Mich State, Ohio State, or Iowa. Why not take the players who were recruited, and never got their shot? NCAA allows it, so why not?

....and 3 Bowdens on the coaching staff plus Chuck Amato as defensive coordinator.
