Position-by-position breakdown from GoZips
Football
J.D. Brookhart talked in-depth about what he has seen so far in the spring on GoZips.com.
The ABJ's David Lee Morgan wrote a very compelling feature on Viktor Rajek, the receiver-turned-defensive lineman from Slovenia. It would be a huge boost if Rajek earned minutes next year.
Golf
I just read that a Zips golfer has won MAC Golfer of the Week in each of the season's first four tournaments.
The team is heading to Zionsville, Ind., this weekend for a duel with Wolf Run Golf Course, the 15th hardest track in the nation.
That may be true, but the Zips must be tested just playing their home course, Firestone Country Club, from the tips, especially if they're practicing in the summer right before the WGC event.
Men's soccer
Akron opened its spring exhibition season with a 0-0 tie against Cincinnati in blustry weather Thursday.
The GoZips.com article provides a good idea what the starting lineup might look like in the fall.
