I think one or two from this board would be fine because I'm sure a lot of our opinions would be repetitive

I doubt many casual fans would’ve seen how to apply and when

Maybe they're shooting for more casual fans, since that's who they likely want to attract. But also, I guess casual fans probably wouldn't commit the time required for meetings.

Same here. I will lose much sleep.

I'm visiting Duke this weekend yet I am not on the level to play there.

😳

Same. If nobody from this board is on it, would be really curious to know who they think is apparently a better fit.

Same here

Got my formal rejection email for the Fan Council.

I'm honestly surprised by how few commits there have been overall. Out of the top 25 transfers listed on 247 only 1 shows committed. One has to think the dominoes would have to fall on those players so the value can trickle down to the next tier and so on.

I know the portal is only barely open but I'm growing impatient and want to see us start signing some guys. 😅

Odds are they probably won't. I will say I don't recall seeing much Goodyear signage around Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse before they became the Cavs jersey sponsor so anything is still possible.

Damn you Minnesota.

Didn't happen, even though they were down 20 or more for basically the entire 4th quarter. 😑

Blessed 🙌

"100000000% committed. #AGTGATGFAPW"

I can hear it now- "I'd like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the good folks at Piggly Wiggly...."

If the suits can benefit from it, anything pure and sacred goes out the window.

This would require Goodyear to have an interest in supporting UA athletics which a previous athletics admin told me was not the case. Hopefully that has changed because I agree about it being a recognizable, complimentary addition to the jersey.

The NBA has been doing it for about a decade now. Personally, I'm hoping for the Goodyear Wingfoot for 2 reasons. First, because it's an iconic Akron brand. Secondly, I think it would compliment the jersey well without being a eyesore.

@Illini Zip Since you didn't enter the Portal, can we get an updated chartwith our 4 guys in the Portal?

Good Lord!! Not only is college basketball turning into the G League, it’s taking a page from NASCAR. I hadn’t heard that about the sponsorship patches.

He might not even be someone we scouted. There are thousands of players in these international development leagues. It's not like we can scout all of them. I don't know if he'll be good at the MAC level or not. I will say based off the photo that it appears he will need to put on some muscle.
