Nice article By David Jablonski, answers some concerns and questions. “Akron really, really just won me over,” Williams said. “They showed me the opportunity they’re going to have for me. I really bought into that. I loved their plans to utilize me. I have to sit out one year, and I love their plan for me in my off year. It’s a really important year for me, health-wise and skill-wise on the court. After I came back from my Kent State visit and talked to both coaches and really talking to Akron, I really felt they were 100 percent about me and wholeheartedly wanted me in their program. I wanted to be in the program, too. I’m 100 percent all in.” “I love coach Groce,” Williams said. “I love his excitement. I love his honesty. I love his plan for me. He talked a lot about what I need to work on. I love that. I love the development piece. I still need to develop. I’ve only scratched the surface of my potential. He really wants to develop me, and I’m ready to go to work for him.” The year away from the court — at least in game action — will give him a chance to get healthy. He battled a back injury last season. “I’m at about 90 percent,” Williams said. “(Groce) wants me to make sure I’m at 100 and there’s no question and I’m not going to do anything to reset the process.” Asked what the main reason he left Dayton was, Williams said, “There was just a disconnect with the coaching staff. I didn’t like their plan for me. It’s a good group of guys, a good coaching staff, but our plans didn’t match up. I want to go to a place where the coaches’ plan and my plan match up. We both want to win championships. I know basketball’s not done for me after these two years. I want to find a program that’s going to set me up for life after college and even life after basketball.”

In addition to his photography, Dr.Z interviewed Coach Stroud after the spring game. Here's the resulting article. 2018 Brings Depth to the Zips Front Seven

By the way, Ahmed was at the UMD match this past Sunday. Saw him, but didn't know who he was. Welcome!

I mean the last I checked you can leave college after 1 season. If he doesn't belong here, why is he still here then? I hope you're right Zipmeister, but the hype seems a tad unsubstantiated.

Adding more D1 sports seems counterproductive to balancing the budget. I'd rather seem them just properly fund the sports we already have first.

I bet Senderoff is pink with envy.

Here it is-
