Jerome was a hell of a player for us and I am glad he came to Akron. I rooted for him then and I hope he has a good future. Yet focusing on this issue now brings into question his decision-making and maturity. Too many athletes feel it's all about them. Humility is in very short supply. This may be another example.

Maybe the class was "Dangling Prepositions." He certainly shows the skills for an A in that subject.

Hope he feels better now

Complete speculation - some decent program said they were booked scholarship-wise for 2018-19, and told him they'd sign him for 2019-20 if he played JUCO ball for a year. Or - he had mediocre interest due to his limited body of work, and thought he could improve his 2019-20 stock by putting up some gaudy JUCO numbers. Wherever he went he'd need to sit out a year, so I'm sure playing any level of basketball was more appealing than sitting on the end of a bench in street clothes watching the other guys have all the fun.

Rather than have this buried in the 2018-2019 megathread, thought I'd start a new topic. The bracket was posted today. http://gozips.com/news/2018/6/7/mens-basketball-akron-clemson-to-open-2nd-annual-cayman-islands-mens-hoops-classic.aspx

Well things get underwat tonight in Eugene Oregon, and if you get tired of watching the NBA finals, switch over to ESPN2, as Matt Ludwig tries to defend his National Title in the PV, and Rodrigo Iglesias will try to win the javlin. Plus McClain and Lattimer are long jumping, with Terrel winning the Regionals. The women compete tomorrow night, and our two Hep-ers Siefring and Ortega go on Saturdya-Sunday. 9 Zips - NINE - in the NCAA Finals Championships! No other MAC school has that many, heck Ohio State is only sending 7! This is one of our Shining Lights, along with Swimming and Diving and Men's Soccer, so even if your not watching, give them your best vibes....

It was not given to them, The University of Akron purchased for $1

It's not typical rust belt desperation and decay. Perhaps that broadened perspective gained from your travels needs to be re-calibrated a bit, scottditzen.
