All of them until proven otherwise. With Devan coming out of nowhere, there's recency bias for me and I'm really intrigued by a 6'9" with his level of athleticism. 6'4" and 6'5" guards though maintain fantastic size in our backcourt and everything about Ladd sounds like he's a real player. St. Iggy to Akron is an awesome pipeline I'd like to keep going. The St. Iggy kid Kent has can shoot so if RJ has the ability to contribute like that as a freshman, look out. We will still have 2 open spots automatically to bring in transfers. This is truly a dynasty being built.

I honestly don’t know enough about them yet. But the video above of Devan is quite impressive. Is he really 6-9? He sure is skilled and athletic for a young forward.

Netters beat Toledo 3-0 tonight. If they beat Toledo tomorrow they qualify for the playoffs (and potentially knock Toledo out since the Zips will finish with the same record and took both games of the series so will finish ahead of Toledo). The Zips can still qualify with a loss but BGSU must lose to Buffalo. The Zips will win the tiebreaker with BGSU. They split their two games but the Zips have a win over a higher ranked team (WMU) than BGSU does.

Iona Wins! Bucknell loses a home game to Hofstra

I guess my sources must be fallible. Sorry to question your medical observation.

Seems like another quality overall class. Who are we most excited for? I lean towards Ladd

If you guys need a hate watch it’s Fordham vs Iona on espn+ rn. Iona win helps Akron and fordham has Guthrie as AD lol

Yep, and he's been playing with it for about a week or so now, so that's not it. https://x.com/iawolves/status/1987336624305545439?t=A84uRKvPsQDkfeuvMxMxFg&s=19

Maybe he meant IFL

Canada mens National team.....is very fortunate to have Richie Laryea on their roster. Zips Nation is very proud of Richmond Laryea. https://wakingthered.com/2025/11/14/21600/richie-laryea-energizes-10-man-canada-in-scrappy-draw-with-ecuador/

Sounds like his injury was too bad to play next week. Maybe he meant CFL.

Did you notice the nose guard mask in the previous post. He wasn't wearing the protection mask as a Halloween costume.

Dequan Finn?

What, is he training to be a sports analyst?

Miami (OH) QB apparently quit the team to focus on the NFL draft lol.

Enrique didn't play last night for Iowa but has been in recent practice videos on Instagram. Hopefully he is OK.

Bummer. I thought a high motor was a strength of his. He is still young and bigs take longer to develop. Hopefully he has a high ceiling and can hit the midrange shot.

I differ just a bit. I think if Groce could dictate the style of play for every game it would be wide open and fast. He would play with 5 guards or 4 guards and an Oggie type wing. He has always been that way. We slowed the offense down because our best player was Freeman and Groce adjusts to his roster and the strengths of the competition. Now he is just getting back to his natural identity. What I do agree with is Brisco will likely only get spot minutes this year and only when the matchup justifies it. Purdue is exactly why you need players like Brisco and Barre on your roster. Should be interesting to see how the staff approaches this challenge. For Brisco to ever play significant minutes he will need to grade out as a top producer in practice like everyone else.

The game kinda showed me that...Finley maybe wasn't as much the problem as I've thought for awhile. Maybe he's no solution, but I don't know that Moorhead would adjust much for the next QB either. Finley's best offense may actually be a Mumme air raid where...he's just chucking the hell out of it without regard to consequences (Tim Couch's last year at Kentucky for example, he threw for 4611 with the bowl game and the whole team ran for about 1650 when disregarding sacks). Moorhead doesn't strike me as a coach who adjusts his system very well to what his players do best. May not be the best for the team as we have multiple capable backs, but...

What if the offensive line blocked better or the WRs did a better job of getting separation? If Akron really wants to be good, it can't just be about one thing here or there. It's about everyone doing better all the time.

I said it in an earlier post - there were about 2.5-3 quarters of predictable offense from the Zips. Joe did nothing to mix it up and it was easy for Kent to pin their ears back.

This was kind of my thought process as well. Although at times you might need a big body enforcer type so there might be a game script that would call for him getting ~5 minutes of run time. That said, I wouldn't expect to see him in the rotation this year on a consistent basis.

Somebody has to step up and be the sociable, affable, ***-kisser to make up for JoMo's inability or unwillingness to be that guy in chasing NIL money. Maybe that's Goodrich. I've liked what I've seen so far from him. The most frustrating thing about the six sacks is that everyone watching the game saw them coming other than Finley and JoMo. Many of them were in situations where the Zips went 4 or 5 wide and PCCC blitzed and just outnumbered the Zips linemen. How about and audible or an adjustment or two?
