His social media was pretty heavily Akron there for a bit. I think we all misinterpreted.

They weren't wrong for about half the season. Truly am glad the Portage County Insane Asylum decided to extend Pinky. The character he recruits matches that institution to a T.

... and bring it down to a 1-bid league. FIFY.

Freeman is going to have to work on his jump shot to be able to have any shot at getting drafted - whether it's this year or next year. Imagine him consistently hitting from 18+ ft.

Would love to see him get drafted. Seriously - how cool would it be to have an Akron player to root for in the Association? Especially Rique?

I thought Dambrot had interest from other programs?

Looks like we had Luke Mangini on campus recently. Teammates with JoeMo's son at Hawken and if I'm not mistaken, is Eric Mangini's son.

This is why I wouldn't touch the high school ranks at a school like Akron. Give me guys with 2-3 years of eligibility who have been in a college strength & conditioning program for a year or 2, and are more mature mentally and physically due to age.

Wow.

Toledo's RayJ Dennis has declared for the NBA Draft. Doesn't sound like college eligibility will be maintained.

GREAT hire on paper.

Well him not seeing the field from the sideline is a different issue... Does he have 20/20 vision? Wiley was a big back who made small plays. He did start to come on towards the end of the season, but so did Price (minus the ball security). I think anyone with talent will be able to succeed once we fix our OLine issues. Let's hope Linguard and Price are the answers this season.

MLB is supposed to be taking back the streaming rights amid the Bally bankruptcy, but I haven't seen an update in a while on that. It's becoming more of a free for all for rights. I would love for something creative to be done by Akron to become more available and marketable.

Ball State's Payton Sparks has transferred to Indiana.

I was making a joke.

We may want to give credit to Groce, but Buffalo did this to themselves by becoming the University AT Buffalo, SUNY Buffalo, and having a good chunk of their campus in Amherst; all the whole secretly/not so secretly being in Canada. They have an identity crisis, and their fall is fantastic to watch.

Someone took Zion Williamson and shrunk him down to PG size. Holy shiitake mushrooms...

* insert old head emote hitting brick wall * Kid can score... Academic All MAC... Knows 4 years of losing. 🤮

There was a tweet - I thought - that said Terrance had heard from Akron. He's staying at Arkansas State.

Not sure if they're nerds or just P5 junkies that are pissed only 1 P5 school is in the final four.

I have been slammed with work and life crap, so I haven't been able to post updates. Here is a tournament overview so far... - 3 teams in the Final Four are making their first ever FF appearance - First ever Elite 8 without a #1 seed - 1 P5 school in the Final Four (UCONN could be considered a P6 school from the Big East in basketball) - A 16 seed beat a 1 seed for only the 2nd time ever. This has easily been the best NCAA Tourney in a while. No blue bloods. College basketball is alive and well.

We'll see how much pull LCJ has here.

Not shocking. Nevada was Transfer U before it was cool and had success.

Nevada lost in the play-in round too. It was a good non-conference schedule.
