I thought we had an NFL-bound offensive tackle that I didn't know about until I listened to the clip. 🤣

Are we all back up and running now? Lol seems like the site was down for a while. Anyways, Coach Ford tweeted the Kangaroo GIF again so it appears we got another commitment but I haven't heard any news on who it might be.

Realistically, I need to wait until we see the full roster. But I'm just gonna say that if we keep Eric, we're winning the MAC again. 😅

I thought Covid had killed it, but based on the question, it sounded like it had been longer than that. They said it had been since the Dambrot days.

Why is it so hard for us to do something like this? Maybe it can happen now that we have BSN as part of the deal. https://bsnteamsports.com/shop/YSUNK226

Oh okay, I missed the beginning of the press conference. Thanks!

I'm wondering if it's in addition to Burton? I assume so.

The amount of trophies on the stage is ridiculous. We're blessed. 😇

Oh, that's not exciting. But I suppose you gotta fill the roster and he's got experience in the MAC at least.

Wait, who is Burton?

Outstanding use of the Open Cup to make his case for more playing time!

There's always eligibility left if only you know where to look.

If I had to guess, it will be posted later in the day to YouTube but not streamed live.

Hopefully this will keep him on the radar for another two-way deal (at the very least) next year. I believe players can sign two-way deals their first three years in the NBA. After that, things may get harder for him. But if he can land in a good spot for next year, where he can get some real playing time, he can prove himself and get a full-time contract.

Finished with 13 points (career high) and 7 rebounds in 26 minutes.

9 points and 3 rebounds at halftime in 12 minutes played.

Based on my own quick research, Akron softball's all-time best MAC record is 23-5 in 1998. Second most is 19 wins in 1997. With 9 MAC games left, 23 wins might be tough, but 19 is certainly in play. Also, not sure if they've ever finished first in the regular season, but they did win the East division in 1998 and 2002. There's no divisions anymore, of course.

If we land him in addition to Staveskie, we are well and truly back.

I saw on Twitter that it ended in a 1-1 draw with Louisville winning on PKs 7-6. Overall, I think it was a good spring with three wins and two draws, plus the offense is looking good which can sometimes take time to get going. Looking forward to the fall!

Do we have any ZN members on-site at the match today?

I am actually interested if we keep the streak of adding one player from Ohio State each season. 😂

His stats at previous stops were way better than any stats Sharron has put up to this point. I like Sharron and hope he can stay but there's no reason to think he's better than an incoming player who has better stats just because we like him. By the way, the Southland and Horizon League were the two conferences directly behind the MAC in conference NET Rankings last year, so it's not like he was playing at a drastically lower level for the past 3 seasons.

Seems like a very solid pickup!

Seems like a move to scramble and hold onto some goodwill. Probably a compromise between the coaches and the athletic department more broadly.

My understanding is Akron doesn't want a home and home with either. We only want to play them at home.
