Huskie Fans Thoughts on Kaleb

The last scholarship has go to a big, right?

Tribble coming off the bench?🤣

I’m assuming he is a grad transfer now and won’t have to sit a year. Odd to wait until the first day of spring practice to announce that decision. On the bright side, this should bode well for how the other RBs are performing.

Wiley in the TP

Personally, I think Tribble coming off the bench would be a big mistake. You want your 6th man to be a big scoring threat. Tribble will definitely slide around and play multiple positions while subs are being made, but I think he is best when the other starters are on the court as well, handling the offensive load. Groce is the one paid to make these calls though, so I'll trust in his decisions.

No way Dawson is coming off the bench & Shammah hasn’t shown anything to be penciled in. Tribble’s leadership and D will keep him in the starting lineup.

If you have t-mobile phone or internet, you can get MLB TV for free.

My gut tells me Tavari will be the starter (and that the sub I had for lunch may have had expired mayo).

Way back when, the MAC used to broadcast quite a few games on Fox Sports Ohio/SportsTime Ohio. The MAC tournament used to be played there, Akron/Kent games, MAC football games, etc. Off the top of my head, I can't remember when that ended. Probably around the time that ESPN gave all MAC schools the ability to broadcast their own games. I watch the Zips basketball and football TV shows when they're uploaded to YouTube, but I'm pretty sure those are still broadcasted on Bally.

Since we're playing this game 😂 A Sea of Blue - Chris Livingston trending toward departure from UK Basketball, per report The article says his representative, Klutch Sports, really wants him to declare for the NBA draft. I'm a Livingston fan, but I definitely think he could use another year of working on his game before going pro. At Kentucky he was... decent. I watched a handful of Kentucky games & could tell he wasn't happy. Come home, Chris! 🙏🙏🙏

It's the largest school in the suny system and like Akron is an old urban university. A bad hiring decision when Oats left caused their downfall in basketball.

Oh, that's the only score that gets factored into the W/L columns right?

I'm not sure what the question is regarding Enrique's ability to have a fifth graduate year. Almost certain any SA can take a fifth year of eligibility if they've graduated. And he has never transfered even once. Honestly I am amazed at the loyalty Enrique is showing to the Akron program and coach Groce, but at the same time I really would like to see how he matches up on an every game basis against the best in the sport. I believe he's good enough to start for virtually any team in America. And as I mentioned earlier, coach Groce's ability to bring Rique back in 23-24 in itself earns him my vote for Coach of the Year for 2024.

I was listening to Full Ride the other morning. Neuheisel and his co-host were lamenting this story and acting surprised it happened. Nobody who follows college athletics should be shocked this happened to this school. Nobody should be surprised when it happens to other schools like St. F. Living in the world of reality is important so I'm not even certain what happened to them is a bad thing. Maybe D1 sports aren't for them in 2023. Maybe there are opportunities at D3...I don't know and I don't care. I never heard of this school before this happened. As private schools go, unless a school has access to a lot of money, such as Notre Dame/Gonzaga/Villanova/Vandy/Baylor/Northwestern/Georgetown through TV money or Ivy League endowments, these schools are going to have to make some really hard decisions about what the core mission of the school is. I do know schools with access to taxpayer dollars will be fine even though the athletic departments of these schools typically lose money. If taxpayers wake up to this, there could be a problem. If public schools show taxpayers what they are doing is a benefit to the athletes, students, alumni, fans and general communities around those schools, they should be fine. One way to do that for MAC schools is to allow the taxpayers REASONABLE access to the athletic departments they are supporting by giving access to the games in the form of a voucher for four seats to two games of their choice in the general admission section. If I am paying taxes in my state, I should have access to and be allowed to drive on any state road I want to drive on as long as I obey the law, and I can. If I am paying taxes in my state, I should have access to the public universities and be able to at least walk the grounds, and I can. If I am paying taxes in my state for college athletics, I should have reasonable access to those games by attending an event or two annually. I used to believe giving away tickets devalues MAC events. I was largely wrong. There is some devaluation, but it is minimal. I don't think giving away tickets to MAC events could devalue the product any more than what the MAC Conference does to devalue it's own product by doing things such as playing on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. The Pittsburgh Penguins used to have college ID nights when the team was struggling playing in the old arena. If a student showed up before a game with a college ID and there were upper balcony seats available they either got a free ticket or a really cheap ticket for around $5.00 (I also saw the Guardians are selling monthly passes for $50 and I think it's a great idea). Did it devalue the Pens?....Short term, maybe. What I do know is it created a generation of passionate fans that did not exist before. I also know the valuation of the franchise is the highest it has ever been.
