Being tall is all important in the MAC. EMU had a huge front line this year (6'9"; 6'10"; 6'11") and it led them to...15-17. Oops. Sorry.

Good grief. How can you be the beat reporter for years and even make the mistake of writing that? And I bet Utomi has been getting a lot of interest since he apparently grew 2 inches since the season ended.

You make some really good points. And as my mother once said, "sometimes you don't know what you don't want until you get it." I don't remember Daniel on a fast break or doing much more than making 3s. Good guy and I don't like that he's leaving but. .

Love Utomi. But he's one dimensional. He's a spot-up shooter. He can't handle the ball very well. He's surprisingly slow-footed & almost entirely earthbound (in his 3 years as a Zip he never once dunked the ball & honestly, it doesn't look like he can). Due to his relatively slow feet, he wasn't very good guarding players away from the basket and due to his lack of explosiveness he wasn't the rebounder you'd expect with a build like his (5'8" LCJ averaged more rebounds per game). People on here were clamoring for him to take it to the hole more this past season, but he's really not very good at it (he had a difficult time finishing at the rim so would usually halt his drive a step or two too soon & then pump fake a few times; lack of explosiveness). I'm not happy Utomi's transferring but que sera sera. I do, of course, wish him well.

Utomi is a good player and can play immediately, but if he thinks he's going to see any meaningful time at a place like UNC or UVA, he's delusional. He hasn't been dominant in the MAC. He certainly will not be a meaningful contributor at a top 5 program.

GT gonna GT

Ivey graduated and used all 4 years of eligability. It was a reporter's error. It will be interesting to see where Utomi lands. He is coming off his worst shooting year. I cannot tell you how many times I saw him drive the lane and hesiate and get in trouble. He relied on the 3 ball to score and when he was off it was difficult to watch. Not sure if he will get recruited to a big time program. I wish E man the best but no great loss for the Zips because he never learned to take the ball to the hoop and he greatest asset was his shot blocking ability. Riak is a defensive center. We had 4 centers on the team, E Man, Klac, Riak, and Sayles and not one of them could consistantly put the ball in the basket. Groce needs to recuit a center that can score. The jury is still out on Sayles because of his injuries but he needs to work his game.

Fire Groce for letting players graduate.

man that's a tough loss
