Looks like Rob Fulford's replacement has been hired- https://gozips.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/coaches/mike-allen/1169

That’s some serious weight that those hogs are throwing around 🐖

Looks like the boys were treated to a little cookout today

Student activities fees pay for athletics. They are separate from tuition, of which the State of Ohio only pays 4% currently. (Used to be 40%). So student fees are not taxes. Moreover, it is against the law for tax dollars to be used for on-campus athletics facilities. Even student rec centers.

Sounds like he did a great job recruiting as well as player development previously, let's hope that continues here.

I suppose one way of looking at it is that actual tax revenues are not used for, in this case, UA athletics. However, tuition (actvity fees) is financing athletics, and this often upsets students and taxpayers to the same extent that an actual state tax would. Therein is the proverbial shell (and semantics) game you reference. I agree.

On my phone but we’ve received a verbal from 6’0”, 210 Tallahassee, FL LB Gavin James

Nope, whoever is closest with ties determined by who bribes Clarky the most.

I'm assuming one of my past predictions is coming true... There are probably solid gold urinals being installed in some athletics program right now.

I don't see Scott as a failure. He contributed well as the season wound down. Also, every coach misses on recruits. Akron has benefited from what some may consider "misses" by coaches at bigger schools.

"Failed" isn't a word I would use to describe "John Groce."

Late addition to the 2024 class. A third GK in the class. https://www.instagram.com/p/C8NJsI0PLcO/?igsh=MXFiYzZiOTkxd3Jycg==

It is amazing that Akron has a potential first round draft pick who was a walk on player. I remember Freeman's first games and the only thing that stood out was he had the skinniest legs of any basketball player I have ever seen. He looked like a walk on and I never thought he would get any substantial playing time. You have to give Groce and his staff for developing Freeman. His progress through the 5 years with the team was truly amazing!!! That being said, our best opportunity to win an NCAA game was against UCLA when Freeman was a 2nd year student. Considering Freeman's talent, Groce failed to build a better team around him his senior year. He had three big misses in Prather, Thornton and Scott. He just needed a point guard that could drive and shoot. Tribble was a 2 guard playing the point and Ali was a wing playing the two. This team never hit the next gear that we were all expecting at the beginning of the season. I really hope to see Freeman in the NBA!!
