Captain Kangaroo

I think Finley was a more-than-serviceable 5th year senior who had a year in the system. He was going to start the entire year if he could stay healthy. Mike Johnson Jr. was brought in to be a senior body. That's about it. Don't sell Broughton short. He isn't a big kid (5' 11"), but he made some head-turning plays in the scrimmages I watched. With a year of practice under his belt I think he has a good shot at being the starter in 2026. We can win some games with Ruggow. But he doesn't have the wow-factor that Broughton brings. Maybe Beals comes in and sets the world on fire...but I've never seen a true Freshman do that at Akron.

I think the last 40 years is a pretty relevant statistical sampling, and over that time period Akron’s basketball success dwarfs Toledo’s.

It would be impossible for Lyles to play any worse.

Since November 29th he's 9-34 from the three line. That's 26.5%, which is horrible for a "hired gun/sharpshooter."

Looks like his juco HC was Arth successor Oscar Rodriguez?

We’ll always have Le Moyne.

Obviously by BYU.

Getting bodies for the sake of bodies is the Arth Approach. It’s proven that you go 1-11 or 0-12 that way, and when those players hit the portal, no one picks them up and it kills your graduation compliance numbers.

My guess would be - Joe needs to win next year, and you don’t win with Freshmen.

I’d suspect it my not have been his decision to depart.

JT looks like Reggie Miller!? About 60 pounds below his playing weight?

Miami reppin’ the Zips tonight?!

Binghamton is doubling up Elmire early in the 2nd half. Elmire came into today’s game undefeated, at 0-0.

I can’t wait to watch him work through his mistakes this season, blossom into a 2nd team all MAC OL in 2027, and transfer to Pitt or Purdue! #fourtypercentzip #barelylearnedthefightsong

It’ll be tough finding another job in Athens that pays $2.5 million through 2029. He’ll need to deliver a lot of pizzas.🍕
