Easy there, Chicken Little. There are nearly 500 players at the DI level that have transferred. It says more about how recruiting at this level is changing than it does about our program specifically. Again, Parrish wasn't a Groce recruit. We don't know if he fully bought into the system behind the scenes. We all know about Cotton's issues.

On the heels of-

Yes and no. I was bullish on Parrish right from the start and believe he has a boat-load of potential. So I hate to see him go. However, the timing and nature of this departure tells me Groce is convinced we are better off without him. It might even mean we are close to landing another guard/small forward. What is surprising to me is that Groce is so much quicker at pulling the trigger. So either he has a better understanding of evaluating talent/character, feels the pressure to succeed immediately or both.

Now that one hurts

S**t, she would have been a perfect fit for us. That lady knew how to build a program, win and coach. Unfortunately our change was necessary. I look to see the same change in softball. Our program is at an all-time low.

I was hopeful when I read the news today (oh boy). But I've been hopeful as long as I've been a Zips fans. I do have to say that the new owner's other papers do a nice job on local sports, especially high schools in their area, and I believe the Repository does a nice job covering Walsh University and Malone. The Record Courier covers Can't State pretty well too, deeper into other sports that the Beacon ever did for Akron. We will see. Would love to see George and Marla gone, but then we still have to put up with Elton up in Cleveland.

DemBoys looking good man!! Brimage and Bubba on the double A-gap blitz is kinda nasty, right?

well, let's see what happens under new ownership...

ABJ has a new look to it's website. Click on sports the navigation tabs at the top of the page....what's missing? What losers. ABJ you're a bunch of losers.

Might have had a shot at the Ashland coach if it happened earlier. She went to BGSU.
