Leaderboard

Updates are completed. I doubt any more players receive ratings at this point as Rivals has moved on to the 2025 class. Akron finished tied for the best comprehensive (HS,JUCO, & Portal) class in the MAC last year and finished 2nd this year. Rivals did not do a comprehensive ranking in 2022. So far, 6 players from the 2022 class have been selected All-MAC - more than any other school in the conference for the 2022 class. The 2024 final rankings: 1 - Toledo 2 - Akron 3 - WMU 4 - EMU T5 - Kent T5 - Ohio 7 - Miami 8 - BGSU 9 - Buffalo 10 - Ball State 11 - NIU 12- CMU

Thanks to Catdaddyp for his comprehensive review of our last two classes. Being ranked both years in the top two is something to get excited about. Yet it is fascinating to see that Joe's peers don't place much credence in the thought of UA turning it around. Hence the ranking of 11 out of 12 MAC teams. We only outranked the team at PCCC. The guys who are paid big bucks to know their opposition don't see much to worry about in UA. Can we prove them wrong?

There’s definitely a chance for Akron and UMASS to go bowling. There have been a number of similarities between the two football programs. Both rosters were the worst in college football when Moorhead and Brown took over. Looking at Akron: Likely losses: Ohio State, Rutgers, South Carolina Most Likely Wins: Colgate, Kent State, Buffalo Would need 3 from: Ohio, Bowling Green, Western Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Northern Illinois, Toledo Looking at UMASS Likely Losses: Missouri, Mississippi State, Georgia Most Likely Wins: Central Connecticut, Wagner, Buffalo Would need 3 from: Eastern Michigan, Toledo, Miami (OH), Northern Illinois, Liberty, UCONN I haven’t followed MTSU enough to have much of an opinion.

Brisco and Mahaffey look like they belong for a couple of true freshman.

Holy smokes. Akron is a WAGON in CFB 25.

Scheduling News: Akron and Milwaukee will square off in a neutral court contest at Fiserv Forum as part of their 2024-25 non-conference schedules. The game will be played on Sunday December 15th as part of a previously reported doubleheader including Georgia Tech/Northwestern.

0-2 on field goals in my first game with Akron. It's very realistic

He played well today leading the team in rebounds and playing 28 minutes. He only scored 5 points on 2 of 6 shooting but was really good defensively. He played at the end of the game when the game was on the line.

Freeman gets the start today!! Must be impressing somebody important.

Does anyone have an update on how Chris Payton's summer league is going? 😁

This is good news, bad news. The bad news is we are not well thought of. The good news is we are so far down the list we aren't very visible.
