    Former Zip Darryl Peterson mentioned here:https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/48710416/darryn-peterson-says-high-doses-creatine-led-cramping

    I have no inside information but he was brought in awfully close to the beginning of the season. Wouldn’t a full off-season have made a difference?

    Akron Zipped up has a new post: https://akronzippedup.substack.com/p/in-the-blink-of-an-eye-a-new-era

    I would be interested to see what Zips go on to earn as pros. What do those contracts that Castaneda, Isaiah Gray, etc. look like? How much do Zips make as pros vs. what they get through NIL? Doesn't pretty much everyone go on to play pro ball somewhere?

    Dr Darrell Scott has quite a set of posts on X!

    I disagree. We are talking about a 6’8” guard from Serbia who at one point would have been brought along and developed and, who knows, could eventually be all-MAC. I vaguely remember extreme excitement when he was successfully recruited.

    Player development is a Zip strength. The calculus of that is tougher in the new era. But also, couldn’t Oggy have gotten more minutes in blowouts? Has KenPom distorted playing time decisions?

    Is it at all significant that Bowen said nothing about wanting to leave the door open to a return to UA? I would imagine that in each case where it was or was not said in a portal post, this was merely a strategic decision. For example, if you say you would entertain returning to UA, you are signaling that the only offers you will entertain are those better than what you already have at UA. I was expecting to see that clause in Bowen's post.

    Nice to see Xavier Castaneda is still balling, playing pro ball in Andorra and also a member of the Bosnia and Herzegovina National squad. Always one of my favorite Zips, he could really control a game.

    Testing the portal waters is the new normal. On the face of it, Eric and Sharron, while we love them, did not do all that much. It’s their youth and upside that almost mandates seeing if they can cash in. I hope we can sell the culture: you will get decent NIL, will graduate, play professionally, and have a finance guru to help you out long term. That’s a nice package.

    Retention strategy is super important in the TP NIL Coaching Carousel era.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a transition plan in place to retain Eric and Sharron, maybe contact between Goodrich and Bud prior to Groce leaving. Maybe a Dustin convo? Goodrich seems to have been ready for the coaching change.
  14. ZipForNow
    I'm not. The press conference with Goodrich made it clear that saying goodbye to the team and moving on to a new opportunity were the main things on his mind. Once a Zip, always a Zip? Maybe. But he is definitely a Cougar.

    Women’s lacrosse is a net revenue generator I believe. Many are on only partial scholarships.
