Excited about Prince. I assume he'll immediately challenge for a role.

not elated w/ this signing. Idk the kid (& he may be a beast; he is 6'7") but anyone who only has two offers (us and CSU) doesn't impress me. With the current state of athletic affairs at UA, I'm a bit disappointed we didn't go after someone more coveted.

That and free agency (i.e. transfer portal)

NIL turns college sports into amateur or JV sports - the JV always played on Saturday anyway. Ha! I think NIL's impact on college bball is far greater than fb but it's ruining both imo

Yeah there is no immediate concern though once we pick our last two guys the sooner they get to campus and jelling w/ the rest of the team the better.

I think the true driving force behind conference realignment has to do with the capability, politics and readiness of superior conferences. (and less about NIL as it's subjectively used at some schools more than others) For example, affirmative action hire, Kevin Warren of the Big10 had zero problem delaying and almost cancelling the BIG10's football season while his son didn't miss a practice at an SEC school. No wonder OSU and Michigan want out of the BIG10. It's run by bad people with room temperature IQs. Actions have consequences and if one has a multi-million dollar university and a top tier sports program they may not want to be under incompetent leadership.

The more I look at this logo the greater my disdain grows for it. I could have thought up a better, more unique, logo... Just saying.

Akron Akrons

I don't love it but it's fine

247 has him in the transfer portal

Braves font is racist

I would be extremely happy with either: - Pete Nance - 45.2% - Matt Mayor - 32.4% - KJ Williams - 32.7% - Patrick Baldwin Jr - 26.6% -Jaiden Delaire - 32.3% All can play the 4, all can shoot the 3 ball

Lemme loop in Mark Kostelac. He knows all about Khadim's right cross.

Hell even Pete Nance would be a blessing at this point

Matthew Mayer is another player in the transfer portal I would be beyond ecstatic if we pursued.

I miss LCJ. We had a few grad classes together; he put the student in athlete.

If you ever want Akron to develop into a mid major power house - like Boise State, BYU, UCF etc - we need to purge the team of walk ons. It's inevitable & I'm here for it.

I dig it.

Who?

I like Mouhamed Gueye from Washington State. Not saying we could land him, but if we could we would be care free heading into next season.

Does Akron have a good baseball team? Record?

Moore is a beast. I'd be surprised if he doesn't rack up at least half a dozen FBS offers.

I was planning on going - and really looking forward to going - with friends and family but I'm staying home instead. Akron Akrons...

So the spring game is 100% in the field house? If this is the case, I probably won't drive in for it. With growing hype and a temp in the 60s the decision to host the game indoors with minimal-bad seating makes negative sense to me.

Excellent news; JG is one of my favorite coaches, at any level, of any sport. I appreciate the man's coaching philosophy.
