TREMENDOUS.Seems like forever and a day since GoZips88, BirdZip & Family, Lilroodude and I met up to watch the big fella swat some shots in Twinsburg. At the time it seemed a remote possibility that the Zips could be landing the best player in the building, but they did it.Props to Boals & KD .. welcome to Zeke & family. Great things are here and greater things are to come.Great day.Go Zips!

They need to add a faint image of Zeke's face lurking in the background on the cover of THIS year's UA basketball media guide, kinda like how the 'evil' Zippy lurks in the corner of posters and on the scoreboard before intros.

Is Zeke our only signee?

[Zip Watcher 27]

Is Zeke our only signee?

Only 1 scholarship available for 2009, so yes .. Zeke stands alone.

Congratulations to Zeke and family. I wish him much success at Akron as a student athlete.

[FromdaBurgh 6]

THANK YOU ZIP NATION SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST. CAN'T WAIT TO JUMP, SCREAM & SHOUT THIS TIME NEXT YEAR WHEN ZEKE IS IN HIS "ZIPS" UNIFORM....I am sooooo glad THIS portion is over. Both Zeke and I are looking forward to his next adventure in Akron and with the Akron Zips, Zip Nation and the infamous AK Rowdies..... Oh..BTW.....who do I talk to about my PINK OR GREEN BAND so I can hang out with the ROWDIES during game time???
