Helps when you have 2x-3x the amount to spend on players.

Not sure it's that - given a juco signing this could be a "2027 move" as well. Get him a year here and then he starts next year?

So, of course Groce manages to get a 7 footer at his new job. https://247sports.com/player/braden-pierce-46118228/college-346132/

Forsythe was a valuable rotation player.

Currie and Forsythe vibes.

This is probably the hardest team in recent memory to project because there's so many players that we just don't know what we will get. The only things I'm confident in are that Steveskie will start, and that one of Burton/Barre will start (unless we add another big!).

It looks like he suffered a leg injury his freshman year early on and barely played. It required off-season surgery and he attempted to play last year but never found his groove.

I would guess Wilson would start over Head. Burton/Barre/MMK probably will be a position battle. I would prefer if we can add another SF/PF, but I would guess Henderson as of now is primary backup for White while also playing a few minutes at SF.

The combos here are a little off I'd imagine and I wouldn't rule out any of the freshman from an impact role until we hear that they're definitely redshirting. This roster will be competitive with the top half of the MAC. I'd imagine the next 2 additions put us at the top.

I'm not as thrilled about this signing as some of you seem. He definitely looks like the favorite (as of now) to start at PF, but even if you multiply his numbers by 3 to adjust his numbers to numbers he would put up in ~26 mpg they seem underwhelming, particularly 3P% and rebound rate. I suppose the hope would be that he was a step too slow and an inch or two too short for the B1G and that water finds it level in the MAC.

Starting to come together...two spots left I believe? White/MMK Halligan/Henderson Burton/Barre Head/Wilson Staveskie/Perkins

Now if only Ford could schedule a home and home!

Maybe Bowen stays

Terrific get. The Ohio State to Akron pipeline continues.

Outstanding pickup!!!

Went to Rally House in Fairlawn today and they had an Akron University shirt. How does that even get approved for sale, the correct name is on the seal on the shirt too. Found it online as well.
