Size is the name of the game right now. Cleveland State has added something like 7 guys who are 6'7" or taller. Cincy has added nothing but 6'5"+. Akron is getting bigger at G, added a 6'10" guy for the first time since COVID, and I'd imagine at least one of their remaining spots is filled by a 6'5"+ player.

Gone. Confirmed.

Brisco, Hardman, and Ladd are gone. Confirmed.

Maybe Todd changed his last name to Simone when he contacted him and recruited him in French. Todd always does well in the Portal but struggles to make it count on the court. Let's see if he can bring it all together this year. As opposing coaches go, I like Todd.

7' 280 lbs. He could be a problem. St. Joseph's > Providence > South Carolina > Bowling Green. His production has regressed with every stop but going back to a mid major might revert that trend. Has a jump shot, too.

Ladd is following Groce to CofC.

Hey, it also got them a 1st round upset of Miami OH in Cleveland, and for that we thank them haha! Here's another factor - height is only useful if it's in the game. 6'10" Chabi Barre would've been useful at many points last season; for whatever reason, Groce didn't play him. If Pierce at 7' ultimately doesn't fit the system CofC ends up playing next season, he'll be an Akron Zip in 2027-28.

7 footer who averaged 1/1 as a sophomore and probably getting paid high 6, low 7 figures. He would've been a good chunk of Akron's budget and likely not worth the $$$. Akron 3-peated in the MAC with nobody over 6'8"/6'9" - our money was well spent on legitimate production, not a measuring tape.

He had 20/3 vs. Kent. I don't quite understand his game because he isn't a lights out 3P shooter but doesn't get too many rebounds either.

Hopefully Akron can help him develop to achieve his potential. Read the comments on this. A lot of believers in the kid.

I doubt White will be the starting PF. I look at him as more of a physical 3 & D type.

The combos here are a little off I'd imagine and I wouldn't rule out any of the freshman from an impact role until we hear that they're definitely redshirting. This roster will be competitive with the top half of the MAC. I'd imagine the next 2 additions put us at the top.

Terrific get. The Ohio State to Akron pipeline continues.

Incoming.

To quote Kowalchoke himself, "GET OUT OF MY FACE."

Kansas caliber player and Kowalchoke still couldn't win the big one. Un"lucky" I guess.

Poor Hardman. 😂

He has Cal Baptist written all over him.

I'm not impressed by most MAC additions.

Wouldn't be surprised if he pushes for All MAC in some regard. Honorable Mention, Defensive Team, etc. He has the head on his shoulders to achieve whatever he wants.

Bingo, and based on the response on X, that's accurate.
