New scholarship offerees...
Patrick Nicely, pro-style quarterback, Willoughby, Ohio Offers: Akron, Bowling Green and Ohio Height: 6-foot-4 Weight: 209 Speed: 4.67 Notes: Nicely "dreams about" playing for Ohio State. If the Buckeyes offer, that will conclude his recruitment. For those of you wondering why Akron doesn't offer more Northeast Ohio kids, that's why. For Ohio's kids, Ohio State is the only real college football.
Sean Farr, wide receiver, Baltimore Offers: Akron, Maryland, Eastern Michigan and Virginia Height: 6-2 Weight: 178 Speed: Not listed Notes: Despite the BCS offers, Akron is Farr's favorite. He does not have a timeframe for a final decision. Farr believes he can play at Akron. He also likes the college and its atmosphere.
Jack Baucus, tight end, Mundelein, Ill. Offers: Akron, Arizona, Air Force and Eastern Michigan Height: 6-6 Weight: 233 Speed: Not listed Notes: Baucus will decide before his senior season begins. Akron is one of Baucus' most recent offers.
