ZIPS96

At Nevada December 22nd. A probable top 10 team this season.

Cayman Islands Classic. Nov 19-21, 2018: Clemson, Creighton, Georgia, Boise State, St. Bonaventure, Illinois State, Georgia State and Akron.

From George Thomas: @ZipsMBB with two recruits in today to watch @ZipsFB scrimmage briefly. Combo G Tyler Cheese from JUCO Florida Southwest State and F @35Durantula35 (Xeryius Williams) who left @DaytonMBB last month

Ivey announced he is staying on Twitter.

I never said this team was better than the past two years I said they were playing their best basketball at the end of the year unlike the last two. Last year 2-3 to end the regular season (after being 22-4), 2016 3-2 (after being 21-5) and both years losing as higher seeds in the tournament. Is that playing their best? Anyone watching this year knows they were playing their best at the end. Don’t let basketball knowledge get in the way.

It was nice to see the team playing it’s best basketball the last few weeks of the season. The last couple years our teams have been much better overall but didn’t finish strong, so that is a positive for this team. In the MAC that is the most important thing since we are a one-bid league and that’s what we should expect from a Grose team.

Just saw Antino walk off the court in tears after another conference championship game loss.

Cotton has some attitude about on the court just like Antino had the last 3 years. I don’t think anyone wanted him gone. Also like Antino he makes some great & boneheaded plays on the court and he’s not afraid to take the big shot (BG game). He has been the most improved player on the team from game one until now and I hope we get to see an even bigger improvement next year.

Klac’s hands were active losing the ball!

Did Lebron score his 30,000th point last week or should that be adjusted too?

This is embarrassing!

Ivey needs to stop forcing shots!

Big Dog is on the Rockets summer league roster.

15 points & 6 assists, 39% on 3's & 88% on free throws last year playing for a national top 10 high school, looks like another good get.

Jackson committed to Akron.

He committed to New Mexico.

USF

It will be strange (but good) with 6'4" Patton at PG for the Zips next season. Who was our last PG over 6 feet?

We aren't the only ones getting hurt by grad transfers, OU's Jaaron Simmons transferring to Michigan.

Gross's first recruit- Mark Kostelac!

In theory you can make the NCAA or NIT without winning either MAC championship.

Groce contract details- $3.3 million over 6 years plus incentitives http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20170410/BLOGS06/170419986/akron-mens-basketball-coach-john-groces-earnings-will-nearly-double#utm_medium=email&utm_source=ccl-sportsbiz&utm_campaign=ccl-sportsbiz-20170410&email_realestate

Former Missouri assistant Rob Fulford expected to join Akron's staff.

Carlton Bragg, did not work out at Kansas so he's transfering out. Groce almost had him at Illinois. We might have a shot with him now.
