clarkwgriswold Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Hmmmm. I was just starting to consider who we might lose. Is it a loss? Yes. Huge loss? Nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreed5120 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Guard is a pretty crowded position so I suppose it is logical that someone transferred. Hate to see him leave as he was coming on strong at the end of the season and a position of strength will quickly turn to an area of need once Noah/Antino graduate. Hopefully we take this opportunity to add another big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy5 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Dang. Thought he was ready for a big year next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Between Josh, Kwan, and Big Dog we've lost 45.3% of our point, 46.6% of our rebounds, and 37.5% of our assists. That's a lot of production that we will need to replace. Going to need some players to step up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I'm not terribly surprised. I love Josh & know he was excited about being a Zip. But he's just a half-step too slow for this level. I hope he goes somewhere, gets lots of PT, has much success & is happy. Have fun playing ball! It's just a game.

zippyfan34 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 So this basically puts us at the scholarship limit for next year assuming no other departures or additions. I was wondering if Eubanks would transfer down since he basically got no PT this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) Damn, I hate to see that. He had a rough stretch during the season, but definitely had his bright spots, especially come tourney play. He was named on the MAC all-freshman team and still had plenty of time to continue to develop. This is no small loss. The only thing that will alleviate this is if that scholly goes to someone who is better, which I don't see being easy to do.

akronzips71 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 We are in so much trouble for next year. At this point I doubt we will have a winning record unless KD pulls another Zeke out of his hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 There have been plenty of Zips who transferred that I was happy to say good riddance to, but Josh isn't one of them. I've been as critical of Josh at times on here, but at the end of the day the kid played hard and was a good citizen. Good luck to him.

skip-zip Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I can't blame him, but it hurts us. He obviously saw himself moving into a more prominent role by this point. Having Noah, Antino and Jimond ahead of him for another full year doesn't help him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981 grad Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Good luck to Josh. He was a great student athlete. Unfortunately, on this team we have too many guys that like to shoot the 3 and not enough guys that can penetrate and create their own shot. Hopefully, he will find a program where he will have a unique skill set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K92 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 When his shot was working he'd make me jump off the wooden JAR bleachers and he seemed like a really good kid. I wish him nothing but the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Who else believes that Jimond's emergence this year was what changed everything for him? At least at the beginning of the year, he was part of the 3-Guard trio as a Starter. I think he's happy with his situation right now if that had not changed.

I don't think it means much as they each bring a different skill set, both of which are valuable to the team. Josh is a 2. Ivey is a tweener 2/3. I think KD starting both Tino and Noah has more of an impact, that is if he cared all that much about starting. The 6th man is essentially a starter.

I think KD starting both Tino and Noah has more of an impact I don't agree at all. He always had to know that Antino and Noah would likely be playing in front of him until he was a Senior. But that had to be a blow when Keith started him this year, then removed him and replaced him with Ivey.....a spot that he would never get back again the rest of the season.
