You should've been here during the Dambrot years. The number of Sweet 16 teams we had was incredible.

Did he and Moss split the travel expenses out to Oregon? And did Oregon & Oregon State play Rock Paper Scissors to see who got which Toledo player?

Just throwing this out there. We need QB depth, we've been "ass" for several years, and General Booty is available. Perfect fit if you ask me.

Did Jim Christian forget he has to actually recruit players?

It's up to Groce, his current staff, and the players to create a culture worth sticking around for. That goes for any player that enters the program from here on out given the 24/7 door that is the Portal. If Young wanted to play for his hometown team or even just stay in the state of WV, he could've. Akron offers a very strong foundation to get him where he wants to be in his basketball career. WVU and Marshall both have new staffs with a TBD label for their success.

With one of the 5 open scholarships, is there a chance we bring in another QB, especially with Wasel's departure?

You're a legend, @catdaddyp. Thank you for this rundown.

Numbers aren't exactly Rollins' strength.

https://ekusports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/coaches/mike-allen/1462 Played his senior year under Groce during his first season at Ohio. Helluva recruiter at EKU.

Happy for Fulford. Full circle for him.

Looks like Stevenson will be part of the TST on ESPN this summer.

I wasn't trying to suggest that the basketball players generate the most revenue. Just stating that the NCAA is essentially a pro league revenue wise, but the athletes have gotten less than pennies on the dollar for decades. It will be interesting to see how this all settles.

https://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances Is $30-40k per year for education and room & board enough for athletes that generate tens of millions if not hundreds of millions in revenue for a school? If not, then the fundamental question becomes how is a player's financial compensation married with the end goal of higher education - the degree? The difference in schools - degree-wise - are largely indistinguishable for the majority of athletes as the different types of majors realistically available for student athletes is limited. That's why the NCAA is in this mess today. "Suits" in both Indianapolis and at the individual schools have reaped the financial benefits of the athletes without either 1) allowing the athletes to also reap the benefits via NIL or 2) being directly compensated fairly by the schools. Based on the revenue generation for football and basketball, the NCAA should be the 2nd highest paying basketball league in the world.

Ding ding ding. Cars (pretty much all of them), housing/food for families (pretty much all of them), tattoos (Ohio State), escorts (Louisville and probably others), etc. It's visibly a lot crazier now, but it was so much dirtier before.

Not shocked by Wasel given the reports at the Spring Game. Hester is a surprise. I'm ok with 3rd & 4th string guys hitting the portal. We need the scholarships to find win-now talent and depth.

Interesting. Ohio chooses to use a scholly on a high school recruit.

Props to Duquesne on including Akron

Note the "#Team109" that is clearly stolen from Groce/Akron.

Praying both scenarios are synonymous.

Not a Zips player, but the Browns 6th round pick - Nathaniel Watson - was a Moorhead recruit at Mississippi State. Spent the first 2 years at MSU under JoeMo. Another NFL feather in the cap for our HC. Can't wait until he starts pumping Akron players into the NFL.
