May have just needed a change of scenery too. Has to be a little weird to see Freeman, Tribble, and Ali all graduate and still be here. I honestly don't think it hurts us that much but I do wish him the best, he seems like a wonderful young man.

First Zip

Going to play for Dru?

Thank you for the summary. It's good to see them actively trying to build an advantage for UA. I don't know that I agree with Bud that major changes are coming, though, because of the advantage it builds for P5 teams. But I still think the mid-major schools that can build a successful NIL program will benefit. Did he mention anything about promoting players? To me, that's the biggest weakness with Athletics in relation to the players. Not promoting Freeman more, selling Freeman gear, having a Freeman shirt giveaway night, etc was a gigantic miss by the department IMO in not capitalizing on an all-time Zip. I'd like to see that change with future players who turn out to be stars here.

Coit's career TS% is identical to LCJ's at Akron - .555

Also worth mentioning everything negative being shared about Coit is (respectfully to those who have shared) total hearsay.

If you're relying on the portal to build a winner next year, there may not be many natural scorers like Coit out there who would consider Akron. I don't want criminals but I'd rather have a guy like Voit who may need to learn some humility vs a guy like Thornton who's going to be a team player that falls out of the rotation.

I agree but will also add that talking smack is sometimes part of the game. Ali chirped quite a bit and he was a fantastic Zip.

Very interesting. Too much iso-ball maybe? He's a really gifted scorer.

Give me Coit, Harding, and Bishop please Baker/MMK Dawson/Prather Harding/Bishop N. Johnson/Scott Coit/T. Johnson

Go get him, Groce!

I'd much rather take a shot on a player like this than taking a veteran role player like Thornton. Lower floor but higher ceiling.

Were any of Greg Tribble, Alex Abreu, Antino Jackson, Josh Williams, or Virshon Cotton true freshmen? I honestly can't remember.
