There are about 10,000 more pressing issues in the city of Akron than a new arena for the Zips. Would I love one? Absolutely, but to say that Lebron doesn't care about the city because he won't help fund an arena is asinine. If you haven't seen his foundation is currently in the middle of founding a school for at risk children. He just announced a partnership with Verizon to bring more technology into a bunch of the other schools around here. Both of those accomplishments are more than just about anything else that has been done by any other person and it is without mentioning the hundreds of kids he has already helped.

thanks for posting....the link it says department reviewing... hopefully, that means that they are restoring Oliver Slawson's old position it was cut during the scarborough scourge

Ivey announced he is staying on Twitter.

I would contend that, just because Hipsher and Crawford didn't win, KD shouldn't be considered our "ceiling." KD was a good guy. Very good MAC recruiter. Good MAC coach. And in the MAC, being somewhere between good and very good will get you in the Championship game more often than not. Just look at all the crappy coaches with full scholarship benches that couldn't beat the crippled Zips this year...it doesn't take John Wooden to get to the MAC Championship game. Huggins won at Akron in the 80's. His body of work then, and beyond shows he was the best Zips coach in the JAR-era. His tenure was short (5 years) but the guy has won big-time wherever he's gone. Against the best-of-the-best competition. Any AD would take Hug over Dambrot. The oft-maligned Hipsher had some good years too. But unlike Dambrot, the MAC during Hipsher's tenure was brutal. Bonzi Wells, Gary Trent, Brandon Hunter, Wally Sczerbiak, Tamar Slay, Antonio Daniels, Theron Smith ...the MAC was pumping out some NBA talent back then.

this rookie of the month looks awfully familiar

What does OU, Buffalo, and Kent have that enables them to have ceilings of winning 1 or more tournament games, but makes Akron incapable of such a thing?

I see job 10718 Assistant men's soccer coach, with the title of the page being "Status of job opening positions as of March 29,2018. http://www.uakron.edu/hr/docs/eobstatus.pdf

Love the thread rename. Once again another thread hijacked by Balsy feeling the need to impose his political and/or religious beliefs on others...

Again, I have to preface this with the fact I love KD. But I think the KD era showed us the ceiling for Zips basketball under KD. I think Groce may be able to take the Zips to a higher level than KD did, but only by building on the foundation KD laid. Before KD, Zips basketball was a disaster. So nothing but love to KD.

To be fair it hurts to be a kitten at all times

You would be light years better than Scarborough.....!!!!! and if you promise to get rid of the American gridiron team....you have my vote for UA president

Wishing the best for you guys.
