I know many on this board blame the Timberwolves. I do not. I watched several of his games and he is a good g League player but did not stand out. He plays the wing and was just not the impact player like he was at Akron. He needs to improve his 3 point shot, develop moves to the basket, and also get stronger to compete at the NBA level. His last few games where he was averaging a double double show that he was improving. It will be interesting if he gets another 2 way.

Anyone know if Wednesdays press conference will be streamed on facebook or youtube for those of us who aren't retired or self employed?

Hopefully this will keep him on the radar for another two-way deal (at the very least) next year. I believe players can sign two-way deals their first three years in the NBA. After that, things may get harder for him. But if he can land in a good spot for next year, where he can get some real playing time, he can prove himself and get a full-time contract.

Concord's Boubacar Djigo has committed to Marshall. That's one fewer Concord player @NWAkron has to worry about being on Akron's roster this year.

That's why Kent made it "kids day" and had activities for the kids with the football players being involved with the kids. Yeah, it was bad football...but I bet they made a couple fans for life because they actually tried to.

Yep, we are 100% in agreement there. Yeah, the game itself isn't exactly going to be the highlight of anything because it is effectively a practice. Which means the other parts of the package actually have to do work to make it a fun experience. And Akron has failed amazingly at that task.

He played well overall. Along with the 13/7 he also had 2 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. His +/- of 25 led the team.

Finished with 13 points (career high) and 7 rebounds in 26 minutes.

9 points and 3 rebounds at halftime in 12 minutes played.

Enrique is already getting some run tonight. 4 points in 5 minutes.

I thought theirs looked pretty empty myself. Casuals don't attend spring practices, at least not at the MAC level. The ones who show up are mainly the ones who are regulars anyway.

i wish the kid luck and hope he proves me wrong.

It looked almost completely empty. Spring games are bad football. I don't see how exposing people to bad football will make them want to come back for more.

Could potentially be a good pickup for them if he builds off a solid freshman year. Mainly needs to work on improving scoring efficiency. He seems to rebound the ball really good for a guard.

Just...wow.

Are the championships at Firestone?

Based on my own quick research, Akron softball's all-time best MAC record is 23-5 in 1998. Second most is 19 wins in 1997. With 9 MAC games left, 23 wins might be tough, but 19 is certainly in play. Also, not sure if they've ever finished first in the regular season, but they did win the East division in 1998 and 2002. There's no divisions anymore, of course.

They are playing really well, definitely also taking advantage of other teams mistakes.

No, not at all. I'm saying what I said, that the Spring game should be made such a good time that it will make you want to buy tickets to come back to see the team and duplicate the fun experience. Looks like they accomplished that in Brimfield.

seems like this team will be "a little bit country."
