Thanks as always Captain. How did the OLine look?

I heard it was a surprise to the team. Jimmy being committed to Utah so quickly likely supports the unexpectedness of the decision. I would not expect it to take too long to fill his spot, though.

Painter & Groce are friends; Purdue is throwing us a bone, especially with paying us to go there, because of the scheduling struggles we've had. One interesting component to this matchup: Purdue guard Fletcher Loyer's dad, John, played for Akron in the 1980s.

Big 12 poached him.

Available PF Available C Tons out there that probably give you 2/3 of the criteria you mentioned. All about culture fit because the one "miss" you mentioned from last year ended up not being a culture fit.

It possibly does if the replacement is bigger than 6'8" and has an offensive game.

Kent extended him after 1-11. "Merit" isn't in the Kent dictionary (although to be fair, that dictionary is probably very small and basic).

I would love to know how many teeth the fine-tooth comb has that they used to go through that contract and find everything little thing they could to fire him. Punting on the 2025 season with the interim coach is questionable considering Cribbs' interest. Not sure how great of a coach he is but he'd at least drum up some donor interest I presume.

Guard for Ohio. One of their best players.

I'm curious to see where Amani improves his game the most. Is it his 3P shot to become more of a stretch 4? Is it his post play? I really do think Brisco becomes a threat in the post next year. What's odd is he has so little film/highlights, but he has solid size, seemingly quite athletic, and spent a year developing under Dustin Ford who is arguably one of the best assistant coaches in the country.

Congratulations to @GoZips88 on winning the ZipsNation bracket challenge! Your reward: knowing you're smarter than a Kent fan. Go Zips!

From the sounds of it, the extension was kept quiet by design.

Helluva problem to have, having 3-4 start-worthy point guards. False. Need to play better defense, make our shots, and out-effort the opponent.

Miami is making moves.

The NCAA is neutered by their own greed.

Amen. I think he's a mental midget.

Please tell me this is satire.

LOL

Whenever Akron goes through an inevitable scoring drought in the future, just remember that Duke had 1 FG in the final 10:30 of a Four Four game, with the best player in the country, was still up by 6 with 33 seconds left, and lost.

Interesting. Thank you for resharing this. Making half a million base salary is a nice fall back after being rejected by Fordham.

Do we know the details of Sendy's extension?
