  1. Mahalo ME 102. I'm impressed if only by your cut & paste skills! Not sure how you managed that without it all disappearing into thin air multiple times, as seems to happen when I compose over two paras. My best case scenario would be to get a top assistant from one of those always-ranked mid-major programs like UWGB, Missouri State, Gonzaga, etc., or a top young up-and-coming coach from that area. I did mention earlier Chelsea Lyles the Assoc HC to Karl Smesko at FGCU. She's going to be a great head coach some day and we'd might as well get her first. I expect Megan Vogel to take over for Borseth in a couple years. How about the coach at Cleveland State? She came in and moved her team way up the ranks very quickly. One hope I would have is that the new coach maintain the strategic style that Jodi Kest brought that everybody needs to be a shooter and the first player with an open 3-pointer takes it. That's the way the game has developed and how mid-majors beat P-5s.
  2. Or when Charles arrived in town! lol (but only slightly) 😒
  3. WAC regular season champs UVU starts NIT play at New Mexico tonight. Imagine if Aziz had stayed and we had a rim protector averaging nearly 3 blocks per game! https://www.abqjournal.com/2581868/nit-basketball-new-mexico-men-get-the-home-court-but-face-tall-order-in-utah-valley.html?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1678898424
  4. I mentioned Lanae a few weeks ago. She was probably the most heavily recruited player in the Akron area by Melissa Jackson. Signed with MTSU, played in just 6 games for nationally ranked team. She was offered by KSU and Miami from the MAC and a few mid-majors (Duquesne, St. Bonaventure, etc.). Don't know if there is any coach left behind who's recruiting. When Kest left, Jackson continued recruiting.
  5. As a tournament ticket-holder I can't disagree. And BTW, someone tell John Groce we still have one spot left for next December! 😃 https://collegehoopstoday.com/index.php/rothstein-files/field-for-2023-diamond-head-classic-nearly-set/
  6. Well, that beats any newspaper in town. ðŸĪ·â€â™‚ïļ
  7. Dukes open the CBI as the 5 seed vs Rice. Looking at the bracket they should expect to make at least the semifinals! Good luck to our second favorite coach! 😊
  8. Had to review the story! Senderoff basically got what John Loyer got from Hughins at Cincinnati -- the convenient target treatment. Kelvin Sampson was the real responsible party. And...hmmm, whatever happened to him ðŸĪ”😉 https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/news/story?id=3086559
  9. What is the MAC'S history on NIT bids? Don't we nearly always get 2 teams (or more) in? I'm ready to go play Cincinnati or another #1/2 seed. Add to our resume'.
  10. The logic here is that if other schools start offering Jamisyn, that's a sign Faith is gone. If Faith doesn't short circuit it earlier by announcing the portal. I'm frustrated that Faith seemed to be misused this year as almost exclusively a 3-point shooter. She was so strong on the inside in HS.
  11. On the day that Enrique Freeman announces he's returning to Akron for his senior season John Groce should be awarded the 2024 MAC Coach of the Year Award. This dude honestly could star at just about any school in America. I can see Nate Oats dialing his number right now!
  12. If I'm not mistaken I was listening to an Akron radio broadcast on FB Live and there was a PSA or non-profit "ad" that Enrique voiced. Not sure if that constitutes NIL income. All that I've seen at ANY mid-major school is athletes with sites selling hoodies, t-shirts and PJs with their logo/face or similar. Greg Tribble's was nice, and < $20.
  13. Kent was and is the better team. They defeated Toledo with the same force they defeated Akron -- overwhelming numbers of excellent players. They lose 3 or 4 starters next season? The MAC will be up for grabs again!
  14. If there is a mass exodus, this might be the first sign. Jamisyn Stinson is a top 5-10 junior in Ohio and was offered by Melissa a year ago. No other offers appeared after that. Still looks like just Akron's offer on the table.
  15. Carry in Flop City!!!
  16. 1st half points off turnovers: 19-7 Can't! STOP IT!!
  17. Worst part of this broadcast is Wally Cszerbiak's green shirt and orange tie. ðŸĪŠ
  18. 7:46 start time just announced by CBSS. 🙄
  19. Mahalo for the X-Cast. 🙏
  20. Spread down from KSU -2.5 to -1.5. Trending to the better side...
  21. It's tomorrow!!! Go Zips!!!
  22. Todos reciben chalupas!!
  23. Not a legal pro. 😉 Never heard of "charged through information" before. So his agent is the target, I presume...
  24. I would like to see a complete international-style tournament. When does NIU play Miami??
  25. "Wire fraud" makes it sound worse than tax and child support evasion. Not good, but probably a case of over-charging. IAC, Romeo hath doneth the wrong thing. ðŸ˜Ĩ
