I wish we would see him more. It's tough when you have a lot of depth, but I'd give a cut of Halligan's nightly minutes to him. You can see his potential when he is out there, he just needs to get experience.

I think we're getting a bit carried away now. We discuss all sorts of topics on ZN, from the players to the coaches to the in-game entertainment to observations about the game. I understand religion can be a touchy subject for some, but it was a short discussion about something related to the Zips, everyone was respectful, and the conversation seems to have run its course.

I loved Chabi's minutes Friday night. I thought he changed the vibe on the court while he was out there. We're going to want a healthy Chabi for when Kent gets Whaley back. I'm fine with Oggie sitting and learning, though if that's how the rest of the year plays out I guess we could/should have redshirted him this year?

I like Chabi, but I also like to see Marvin out there. Maybe its more of a matchup thing but Marvin only getting 2 minutes on Friday is unfortunate. I don't mind seeing Oggie's role right now, he is a freshman on an experienced team like this, it seems okay for this year.

That's what happens when people make politics their identity. There is an off topic section on this forum. If people wish to engage in those kind of discussion it should be moved there. I'll just be sure to avoid those threads.

I might be in the minority, but from my eye test when I've seen him on the floor he still looks very raw and appears to still be adapting to the American game. Him joining the team so late didn't help his cause. He could have probably used an extra ~3 months of practice in the offseason.

Hold him out of warmups?

How is it possible to see less?

Sorry, all kidding aside I agree with @clarkwgriswold Go Zips!!

Okay, with 9 regular season games left I believe Chabi baring another injury setback will work his way into the rotation. What is everyone’s take on seeing more or less of Oggie heading down the stretch?

I would expect someone like you to say such a thing. 😆

Discuss whatever you wish guys, but as for me, I come to the forum in part to get away from the daily "controversy" cycle.

Enrique announced on his Instagram today that he is starting the Freeman Family Foundation, a non-profit aimed at supporting youth and families in the community. As their first initiative, they announced the Freeman Future Leadership scholarship, which will be awarded to five students.

Because I'm not a communist. Leave the commie crap to Kent - Berkley's Portage County Campus is very good at it. Go Zips.

Why don't you have this same energy for the discussion on the national anthem? Listen, I think it's OK if people discuss it, or if people don't want to, that's fine too! It was out of the norm for this program and university and plenty of people noticed, so it's being discussed. It's a choice to engage in any of the many topics a discussion forum will provide.

So if Groce is leading in such a way that doesn't offend anyone, why is that a focus of some on this board? It's a choice to be offended, especially with something that caused no harm to anyone. We kicked Kent's butt for a 6th straight time. Let's get back to focusing on that.

Shout out to Eric and Marvin with rebounding.

Glad to see he's doing well. Zeke Marshall's mom also used to post sometimes. He's no longer playing but is now working as a basketball and career coach so it seems he's doing well too. And if you want to feel old, he's 35. 😊

What did the women think of seeing four shots made in one period?

Speaking of alumni parents, I remember only one parent that used to post on this board and that was Kwan's mom. She was always very nice. I started thinking about Kwan and it looks like he has had a very successful career playing all over Europe and in Israel. I copied his Twitter picture and he looks great with a very handsome family.

Make that two former Zips on the new Browns staff. Was there the same time as Switzer.

Yes, it seems weird that people fixate on it. Not like he left for an extra $10k or $20k. I would have left too if I was in his position and I would have no regrets about it either. He's in a position that he can play professional basketball somewhere until his 30s while his money grows and then not have to worry about a career post basketball. He might still need to work a little to supplement his income, but he can be picky what he does and do something he truly enjoys. A pretty envious position to be in.

I don't think anyone is suggesting any players were offended. I think @VAZipis just pointing out a very real double-standard there is with religious expression. We all know and agree Coach Groce would never do something that would make any players feel not welcome.

That would make sense with Enrique's mom there. It's nice to see that the program we love engenders that kind of good feelings and sentimentality. I feel bad for Nate with K State's struggles. There are still people out there with hurt feelings over him leaving but the kid did what was best for himself and his family in the long term.

Someone told me at the game that is was a players parents reunion event. Don't know if that's true, but that's what I heard.
