The results of this Day of Giving are skewed. No contributions to any sports NIL collective are counted. No membership in the Summit Group ($25,000 committed over five years) are counted. The results are not a dire as would be surmised on first inspection. Would we like to see more from the general public? Absolutely yes! But things need to be taken in perspective.

I really hope he can be a big scoring threat for us. Similar to guys like LCJ or Castanada. We need a legit guard who can put up big points if we want any chance to make a run in the tournament. Even with Freeman last season, I think not getting enough offense from our guards held us back.

If you want a good laugh, think about this. Kowalchoke has had the following players in recent years... - RayJ Dennis (Baylor starting PG now) - Dante Maddox Jr (about to be a P6 player) - Ra'Heim Moss (I believe he is also going P6) - Tyler Cochran (consistent All MAC player) Now think about all of Toledo's success in March. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The Basketball Tournament just signed a nice TV rights deal with FOX. LCJ responded with this when asked when the Zips will have a team. 👀

Um, quite the resume coming off one year at a Florida community college. 17 mpg 5.1 ppg 1.5 apg 1.7 rpg https://www.nwfraiders.com/sports/wbkb/2022-23/bios/davis_jaela_m207 I guess she’s got some size for a PG, but not sure what we’re doing here.

Every comment on this... "Kobe (Johnson) to Akron. Confirmed." Kobe, like Josiah, is from Canton. Keep an eye out for an Akron departure.

I have high hopes for these guys and think they could be major contributors. That being said, I had high hopes for Maishe Dailey, Taylor Currie and KJ Walton. As such, my enthusiasm is tempered a little.

We are on the same page. I have been watching West Virginia games on Draftmatic. I will post a couple of games later. All three typically come in off the bench 5 minutes into the game. Although Harris has started. ---------------------- The Big 12 Tourney 2 seasons ago. The last game James Okonkwo (32) played for West Virginia. First half he is in from (15:18-9:16) and (5:21-End of half). Second half (11:00-2:49) and (1:13-End of game). Seth Wilson (14) plays in the second half from (17:53-8:25) and (5:01-End of game). No Josiah Harris. -------------------------- The Big 12 Tourney this past year. The last game Harris (22) and Wilson (14) played for West Virginia. You might recognize #55 for Cincinnati. First half Josiah Harris is in from (15:24-11:53) and (6:00-1:45). Second half (14:36-9:24) and (9:21-2:46). First half Seth Wilson is in from (15:24-9:58) and (1:32-End of half). Second half (14:36-9:21). No James Okonkwo.

Likely most of the continuing donors don't wait until the day of giving to "give." they give throughout the year or maybe in a big chunk at end of year.

That makes more sense. I was thinking no way all those new donors donated in such a short span.

Found it!!

Up to $123k from 530 donors now.

Sorry Roo...yes, typo on my part, they AREN'T thrilled with the current staff. My bad...sorry for the delay in response, got to go to the Masters this year! Woo Hoo!

Thank god our heavy cuts are behind us.

I haven't actually seen any real film of these players. Highlight reels don't count as those only show the good. Harris probably has the highest ceiling.

Peep the Wagon Wheel motivation.

If you can dodge traffic on Exchange, you can dodge a ball.

If I'm not mistaken Freeman was also a 'transfer' albeit academic ... pretty sure he came from Tiffin first.

This guy's had an issue with strength and conditioning for some time now lol https://zipsnation.org/forums/search/?&q=Conditioning&author=monrowe&search_and_or=or

Has nothing to do with strength/conditioning. Has everything to do with an inability to put the ball in the hoop consistently. Vs Ohio in the Semi Finals - 14 or 16 pts in the first half & 50 pts in the second half. Prime example, especially being the 2nd game in 2 days. I mean, hell, we won the MAC Tournament which is 3 games in 3 days. We need shooters/scorers. Period.
