Love Groce's recruiting. Keep em coming, and seal the deal!

My "sources" can confirm: he's TALL. Also, I am intrigued by the potential international pipeline/relationship we might be build. Saint Mary's and Gonzaga have really solidified their programs with a couple foreign players, particularly Australia. Find me some Delly's!

Probably blows away the number that make it from the MAC. Mo N'Dour did that, and now plays for the Knicks.

Yes, but he could go overseas, make some pretty good money, and still get on the NBA radar.

New Mexico does have a team store, if you want to get yourself out of a "bad" situation as well. Actually, every team does. You can trade your Akron gear in at any time...

Yeah I'd take Walton.

Who is the next one?

Can't say I blame him when it comes to location, but he's heading to a mess of a program.

I didn't realize David was once a YSU commit.

Just to continue the Twitter rumor/speculation train, Mark Kostelac (recent Akron commit) followed Torrey Patton and David Collins on Twitter - a couple days ago if I'm not mistaken.

Kostelac followed Torrey Patton and David Collins - a couple days ago I believe.

Collins also follows Poke. Haven't dug much deeper than that though. And this would be nice to have...

Torrey Patton just committed to AKRON. 12 hours ago, Torrey quoted David Collins' tweet. Is this going to be a domino effect...?

By the way, do you think this has any impact on David Collins?

VERY nice get by Groce. Welcome to Akron, Torrey! Time to get revenge on Graves!

Good. Path of least resistance. Keep that 21-win-season streak going!

Michigan must have a pipeline to Athens to steal their players. LaVert... Simmons...

Stainbrook? The guy from WMU that transferred to Xavier and contributed pretty well? Sign me up.

Him vs. Graves twice a year could be fun. Hopefully he likes Groce enough to come to Akron.

I thought the same thing, but Baltic didn't have near the physical stature that Mark has. Baltic was 6'9" 215 lbs soaking wet. Mark is a solid 6'11 260-270 lbs.

Any update on Mr. Walton?

So should we blame Buffalo, for being in the MAC East, for our budget issues instead of the Info?

I posted this in the recruiting thread for Mark. In an interview posted in that other thread, he mentions he's "back" and talks about an apparent Kevin Durant injury that he had. Does this injury have anything to do with his path?

I think this is a VERY nice addition. It fills a gaping hole in the roster - a big. What I like most is how athletic he is. He seems to always be moving, which should help prevent the offense from becoming stagnant. He also seems to stretch the floor nicely with his shooting ability. I don't remember the last athletic big we had. Did he say he had a Kevin Durant injury? Is that why he didn't go anywhere after high school?
