  1. A big strong physical guard who can get through picks, rebound and won't get pushed around under the basket. Looking forward to watching him play next season.

  2. I received my Z Fund package today with a handwritten note wondering if I had gotten in on this bet or not.

  3. Men win MAC Outdoor T & F....Women win MAC Outdoor T & F... Jackie Siefring wins Heptathalon and Matt Ludwig wins Pole Vault Friday, then yesterday Jordan Latimer wins Long Jump, while Daniella Johnson wins the Women's. Today it was the Men's 4 x 100 team winning with Hakeem Lawrence, Taron Slone, Miles Baldwin and Joe Harrington. Lawrence turns around and wins the 100 dash in a school record time, while Baldwin wins the 400 dash. Curtis Richardson wins the High Jump, Ariadna Ramos Gandia wins the Women's Triple Jump. But the multiple scorers in each event on both sides is what tipped the titles. Men continue to dominate a small-field Conference, while the women really performed this weekend in a 12 team Conference meet. That's men's and women's indoor AND outdoor Championships in same year! First time ever for the Zips. Don't think we'll have a lot of NCAA DI regional competitors....Lawrence in the 100, Siefring in the 400, Richardson and Cody Stine in the High Jump, Nikki Manson in the High Jump, Ludwig and Matt Rowland in the Pole Vault, Latimer and Terrell McClain in the Long Jump, Johnson in the Long Jump, Joe Ohiembor (men) Ramos Gandia and Weronica Gaudyn (women) in the Triple Jump. Phil Jagers in Discus and Rodrigo Iglasias in Javelin, and Siefring and Patricia Ortega in Heptathalon. 10 guys, 6 girls....not bad!

  4. You bring up some good points, but Xavier is in Cincinnati, so not really "Dayton" that is supporting them. But when you consider the Cincinnati-Dayton area has the three schools you mention, plus UC (without clicking on the link, but I'm guessing is also over 10,000) shows that Southwest Ohio is more crazy about college basketball than Northeast Ohio. Part, of that, however, is due to the region not having an NBA team, and in Cleveland's (TV market) case an NBA team that has been among the top 5 most popular in the league ever since LeBron was drafted. Even in the four years LeBron left, the Cavs still were in the top half in attendance and had some of the highest local ratings in the NBA. In the LeBron years, the Cavs have always been in the top five in attendance and have battled the Spurs, Thunder and now Warriors for the No. 1 spot in local TV ratings. I'll have to look up what the Cavs' final local ratings were this year, but saw a couple months ago, they were pulling in something like an 11 share locally, which is about 110,000 TV sets a night ... on top of the 20,562 that go to every home game (and they play 41 of those). There's only so much time people in NEO want to dedicate to basketball, and largely the area has chosen to invest it with the Cavs, and can you blame them? Consistently one of the best teams in the league with the best player in the world being from right here in Akron. It just is what it is. With that said, I think there is still potential if Groce builds a product that wins and wins in an exciting fashion where they could bump up to 4,000-5,000 consistently. But as long as Akron is in the MAC and the Cavs are winning, the school simply will have an attendance ceiling it will bump into. EDIT: See B&G already pointed out Xavier.

  5. I'm not denying anything man. I'm tired of the football vs basketball debate. The basketball team has generally had a winning record in the shitty MAC. That's it. Congrat.

  6. A guard that can defend...Based off my experience watching Zips basketball, I didn't think such a thing existed.

  10. I knew he made a big mistake when he declared. I just can't understand what he could have been thinking.

  11. IMO, I wouldn't assume much with the change of scheme. He may find a niche with so many different personnel packages Williams likes. I wish him health and luck. Does anybody ever remember Jamal dropping in coverage with the Zips? I haven't watched a Browns preseason game since they fired Bernie, but I might record the first one to see how/if Jamal is used.

  12. It's very possible for him to get picked up by someone this early into camps. I'm just selling him having any chance of a prolonged NFL career. I'd be willing to bet he won't be on an NFL practice squad week 1 of the regular season. Would you be willing to take that bet?

  13. I'd be willing to bet he won't make a 53 man roster opening day...
