  1. Can we get two more? Five wins would be some vindication of Bowden.
  2. I will be EXTREMELY surprised if Kwan red shirts. IMHO he can contribute more than Pat right now. Pat is reminding me more and more of Mike Bardo.
  3. For a youngster you are very smart. I see Cheatham starting before this season is over. It looked, in the short time he played, like he was much taller than 6'9", and he has moves like someone closer to 6'3" I have personally never seen a big at Akron who looked that fluid, and in his first D1 game no less.
  4. That is why I like Cheatham and Jackson. They both appear VERY athletic. Big Dog not so much. Pat not so much.
  5. I actually think Q is the key to the season. He looked great tonight. We need to make up Zekes points and rebounds, and AA's too. Q looked like THE MAN. Very athletic, very controlled. Tree is what he is, always the beast. Q needs to step up. If he does, it makes Harney's job easy. It will probably not be until the Dance that anyone can defend Tree, Q and Harney at the same time, if they get it together.
  6. Tree is a beast. The good news is that he is OUR beast.
  7. And when they broadcast over ESPN3 from the same venue, it is excellent. But, it is light years ahead of a few years ago when we paid for the feed from the scoreboard camera and the feed never worked. For Akron this is big time progress.
  8. I have to disagree with you. Jackson and Cheatham were VERY impressive. Cheatham is some athlete for a guy his size (6'9.5"?). Some REALLY nice moves, moves that Zeke never had. He is going to press Pat AND Big Dog for minutes, in fact, it may be Big Dog who gets the shirt. Cheatham can contribute big time right away. Jackson is like a combo of Harney and Q. He is athletic and all over the place. He will NOT sit out the year.
  9. About 3 or 4 seconds ahead. But close enough for this game.
  10. Yes. Turned it off and listening on 1350 over the net.
  11. Tree is playing like Tree, and he is the absolute team leader. Q and Harney are true potential POY players, but they would have to beat out Tree, LOL Pat will be fighting for minutes. This is going to be fun. The thing I like the best: Only two guys on the roster under 6'6". That's like an NBA team.
  12. Darn, this was getting good.
  13. You guys are all red shirt crazy.
  14. They should have played that game LAST NIGHT :bow: :bow:
  15. Honestly, I don't see Tree being anything but #2 to the guy from Canada. He is a beast, and only a third year player.
  16. I agree but from the early reports, it may not be easy keeping Big Dog off the floor.
  17. I am thinking they may have Tree at #2. Harney didn't really get that many minutes for us last year, so that makes me wonder about the author. I think Tree might be the only other Zip on that list. That of course means nothing, we have some new guys who might own that list next year.
  18. The danger with keeping a player on the bench all season is you could lose him to a transfer. OTOH, I know Coach will do anything and everything to win and get to the next level. The OTHER thing about "red shirting" is that you are looking five years into the future, maybe not such a great idea. IF we keep winning we WILL get good recruits and good results. We need roster space for them. From what some of you guys are saying, it looks like we got a bumper crop. More will be known after a couple of games.
  19. If Zeke can not make it there, playing against people who did NOT get drafted and probably many who never played DI hoops, there is just something wrong.
  20. He may be taller than Zeke by March.
  21. Less than two days! Any video for this one? The link goes to Mac-Sports, but that is probably just a default setting.
  22. Right now they have a #10 and a #8, but no #9 What's up with that? Were they holding that spot for AA or something?
  23. It's a good problem to have.
  24. Lately it seems that our guys who redshirt or don't get any minutes are not around the following year.
