Respectfully, discussions about how teams are rated in college basketball are some of the worst and most tedious discussions in sports. Tanks right up there with NIL deals, the transfer portal, and exit velocity in baseball for me. They are part of the ongoing process that makes everything about the NCAA Tournament. It's ruining college sports.
Throw in "recruiting a viable, back-up big."

JoeMo's son just committed to Jax State. Interesting.
Why is that interesting?

I saw Terry Weigand in one of the Zips "wacky Wednesday" photos.

I see they raised general admission ticket prices. It's still not a bad value when you break it down by game. It comes out to ~$6-$7/game depending on how many home games there are.
Seems like price gouging to me. So it's either a carton of eggs or a Zips home game? Highway robbery.

I see you can buy basketball season tickets now. Of course they haven't posted a season schedule yet. 🙄
i have a source, who has contacts in the ticket office, and he told me that the upcoming schedule features a team playing in every game that won back to back conference tournaments and was undefeated at home last season.

Even though this is an anonymous sports message board, this thread has jumped the shark and lacks insightful and/or original thought. "Kent State sucks" and "Akron football players are dumb" are worn out tropes.

A bowl game waiver

Doesn't really matter. BG is legit, loaded, and lethal next season.

This will ultimately benefit Akron in the long run.
You sure?

Late to the game here, but Kent will be loaded, legit, and lethal. Definitely, looking to see them at top of pre-season polls.

Home and Homes with Gardner Webb for the near future.

Will a home and home come with the Duquense transfer?

Need a serviceable big and a guard who can score?

Not going to lie, after the past few days I've honestly considered avoiding this board for the foreseeable future. I feel like whenever I open up this page it's more bad news. I wanted to be excited about the upcoming season.
It's really sad that you can't be excited about the two time defending MAC tournament champions. There will be a good, quality team on the court next year. It may not have all the bells and whistles that some on here want, but Akron cannot compete with schools that have endowments in the billions. yes, the endowment $ doesn't go to NIL, but it's a sign of how much $ flows into those schools like Utah and BYU.

For Pete's sake, people! On one page of this thread it seems the consensus that everyone -- basketball players included, have the right to seek their value on the open market. Then on the next page you're expecting "loyalty"?? The "free market" and loyalty don't work together. You and universities and the SCOTUS should have recognized this fact long ago, before the Northwestern athletes tried to unionize! Now the door is open to my grandkids 5th grade basketball team declaring free agency.
I never said they have the right to seek their value on the open market😇.

Easter Weekend betrayal. They sold out Groce and the Zips for 30 pieces of silver.

Groce whiffed again. Clearly, unless the viable and serviceable back up big is hanging out in the rec center, Groce won't find him.

Maybe he saw the writing on the wall with Amani's progress. Maybe it was shown to him by the staff. Maybe he wants to go back to a P4 program and playing 3 minutes a game in blowouts.
Who was in the game at the crunchiest of crunch times in Cleveland? Wasn't Jimmy.

Having Evan is good, but make no mistake we still need another big if we are going to win outside the MAC.
they extended Groce's contract until 2035. Maybe by then he will find a viable and serviceable back up big.
