Did you watch CSU 1st round game in the Horizon League tournament? They hosted the game and there may have been a few dozen people in the stands. If even CSU fans don't care about CSU basketball why would Akron fans?

We're a mid-major whose ceiling is winning three games in Cleveland in early March (that also draws very very average crowds). Better to play as many local teams fans might actually care about that we can, even if we're "a level above them."

My understanding was Akron played at YSU in an exhibition game last november with the expectation theyd play an exhibition at Akron next year. both schools splitting the proceeds even to go toward their respective NIL funds. As for horizon league games weve played Milwaukee, Ft Wayne, Oakland, NKU, as well as Wright St. Dont know what the issue is with Cleveland and Ytown, but with budget issues these "local" games seem to make sense for all teams involved

Groce has 8 players in the portal and lost 2 of his top 3 scorers to graduation. He has more NIL to play with there, but it is going to be a complete rebuild, just like Ford will have here.

I actually feel it hurts our brand as I'd like to believe we're a level above both those programs. I feel that's the reason the only Horizon programs we agree to H&H with are the ones like Wright State who consistently compete at the top of the conference.

I do think a game against Cleveland State would garner a tad more interest from the average fan than another generic opponent. But nothing significant.

Outside of a few years under Calhoun both programs have been fairly bad. Maybe an outlier decent season here or there. I'm not sure what the appeal is in scheduling either of them.

13-35. I don't.

That we're getting embarrassed in every way by Kent State is certainly something. But we are definitely getting embarrassed in every way by Kent State right now.

My understanding is Akron doesn't want a home and home with either. We only want to play them at home.

Excited for the first meeting of the fan council!

And they still can't get a home and home with YSU or CSU.

Probably thought he was going to play in Athens, Greece instead of Ohio. Sad mistake.

So I'm guessing the three-game deal with Bucknell is two homes games and a road game? I'm honestly a little surprised we are playing them on the road but I guess it's fine.

Bowen is graded in the 97 percentile for 3-pt shooting, but overall he doesn't appear to be graded all that highly. https://x.com/i/status/2042279054406029724

At this point, I expect, assume, and unreasonably believe that the 26-27 Zips will consist of 4 or 5 Concord transfers. Edit: Zips have gone from recruiting Mountaineers to poaching Mountain Lions

Yeah, it would seem like a drastic drop from going from the #1 rated recruit in Ohio to CSU roster after 1 redshirted season. I imagine he will end up on another power conference team or one of the higher spending mid-majors.

He commented "absolutely not" on this IG post.

I saw a mock draft that had the packers taking him in the seventh. He just visited Seattle and also interviewed with Atlanta.

Akron will also start the season off on the road on 11/2 against a Sun Belt team. Opponent still TBD.

While the team hasn’t even been put together yet, the schedule is already coming together. Akron @ Bucknell 12/2 Tulane @ Akron 12/5
