Kent State is a rival, not an enemy, just like every other team in the MAC. You are only as tall as the shoulders you stand on. When a rival does well, it reflects positively on Akron, the best team/program in the league.
No. UA is in a cold war and KSUcks is the enemy.
KSUcks has and continues to drain billions of potential dollars from central city Akron (and, frankly, Youngstown); two legacy but aging Ohio anchor cities which could certainly use the money. While Toledo, Ohio, and Miami are fun rivalries, KSUcks should not even exist (and NEOMED should reside @ UA as The University of Akron School of Medicine but good grief don't get me started on that). Drive them into the dust and scatter their ashes till no one remembers their name.
Go Zips.

That one got me too. I was all excited... for about 30 seconds 😩

On my phone, but Football announced April 25th is only an open practice, not a spring game.

Wonder if Bowen could get a 5th year. Played 18 minutes his freshman year at OSU
I spent the majority of this season thinking he was only a sophomore. 😂

Nice addition for next season

As well as a testament to the quality of Zips football.

Is Zachary Halligan a walk on and I saw that he played a little in 23-24 but not last year. I saw that he is a local guy but curious why he did not play last year considering we had numerous blowouts.
Unfortunately Zach was injured this season.

Akron will have a taller team without increasing the height of their "tallest player" label.
Front Court
James Okonkwo - SR - 6'8" 240 lbs
Rich Brisco - RSFR - 6'8" 230 lbs
Amani Lyles - SR - 6'7" 226 lbs
Marvin Musiime-Kamali - RSSO - 6'6" 195 lbs
Back Court
Evan Mahaffey - SR - 6'6" 200 lbs
Eric Mahaffey - RSFR - 6'4" 190 lbs
Josh Henderson - FR - 6'4" 170 lbs
Zach Halligan - WO JR - 6'4" 205 lbs
Nate Johnson - RSSR - 6'3" 204 lbs
Bowen Hardman - SR - 6'3" 190 lbs
Shammah Scott - SR - 6'2" 180 lbs
Sharron Young - SO - 6' 160 lbs
Conner Groce - WO SO - 6' 165 lbs
Tavari Johnson - SR - 5'11" 155 lbs
Tai Perkins - FR - 5'11" 165 lbs
Height Differences
Lose: Harris (6'7"), Gray (6'3"), S Wilson (6'2"), E Wilson (6'2")
Gain: Brisco (6'8"), Ev Mahaffey (6'6"), Henderson (6'4"), Perkins (5'11")
Brisco is an increase over Harris and a bigger body overall (plus he'll most likely play). Evan Mahaffey is a bigger version of Isaiah Gray. Henderson, if he doesn't redshirt, will be a taller version of S Wilson, although much less of a bowling ball. Perkins does us no favors in the height department but he's a gamer and the D2 Player of the Year in Ohio.
The system won't change which means there should be quite a bit less adjustment in the OOC portion of the schedule. This is exciting.
Tai Perkins is 6'1", so that'll slightly increase the average.

Wow. Guthrie already was turned down by Martello Jr. and one other. This would be a legitimate strikeout for Chuck up north.
Insane stuff.
This would be good for the MAC and good for the WWR!
WWR?

Looks like Jen is in some trouble per the Beacon Journal. Hopefully gone for good she's been not very good and can't retain talent. The reports are nasty.

I was literally just there last Summer. Also, PJ Hoffmaster park in Muskegon (15 minutes away) is great, especially the sand dunes.
PJ Hoffmaster is about 3 minutes away from where I vacation every summer. LOVE IT!!!!!!

Driving. Making it my kids spring break trip.
Nice! Grand Rapids is a beautiful city.
If you have the chance I'd recommend taking the 1/2 hour drive to Grand Haven. It's got a lovely little downtown and a gorgeous beach. Park near downtown & walk the boardwalk along the Grand River out to the lighthouse pier in Lake Michigan. You'll love it!

You live near GR or are you making the drive?

How does the Groce kid's non transfer affect this?
That's what I was wondering with my question.

We're still keeping our eyes open for that rumored big man transfer, aren't we?

That was easy. I just signed up for a recurring monthly donation.

Has he ever had an abundance of talented PGs that he needed to redshirt any?
Yeah, I know. With both Tavari & Sharron (and Shammah more than capable of running the point) Idk how he'd work Tai into the rotation to make it worth burning his redshirt.

knowing what we know now as far as returners coming back, do anything of these 2 freshman see the court. are they future superstars like Sharron Young, or are they good Role pieces that have to develop. I don't know the pulse on highschool hoops to know... can anyone give an educated guess. do we factor the 2 Westerville kids into the rotation next season.
I think Josh Henderson will be a superstar. 6'5" and can stroke it from 5 feet behind the line.
Tai Perkins is tough & won D2 POY in the Central Ohio Region, but his team was so deep it was kinda hard for me to gauge how good he really is. But to win POY... he's gotta be legit.
I wouldn't expect either to play next year b/c of our returning depth, but @Illini Zip made a good point that Groce doesn't redshirt PG's (Tai Perkins) and after Illini Zip pointed that out I think he's right; I don't remember Groce redshirting a PG.

Tai Perkins' Westerville North team beat Perry 78-46 in the D-2 state championship game Friday night. Tai had 12 first half points & finished w/ 19.
Westerville North lost 2 of their 1st 3 games but then went undefeated the rest of the season mostly blowing teams out. I think they're probably the best team in the state regardless of division.

And circle it on the calendar and get up for it like it is an NCAAT game. No more KD excuses like, the non-conference schedule doesn't matter, only winning the MAC does. Been there, done that.
I still want to see us ranked in the Top 25 & for a school like Akron that basically requires being undefeated in the early OOC schedule including beating a P-6 (or two) school.
