They were a top 4 team and had 2 guys over 7 ft tall (including Edey) when they lost to 16 seed FDU.

That's a good fit for him. They have zero expectations athletically so when he gives up game winning floaters with the worst possible transition defense, they won't hate him.

Now I see why the ABJ article was so absent of details. Kent was aware of half the alleged behavior and never investigated it. Not a great look by the University. What would be interesting is if the University ignored the allegations of drinking on the job, gambling, and staff abuse when they gave him the extension.

Go Zips but college sports suck now. F the NCAA.

There was only one tweet mentioning this and it was an Ohio State fan. I replied to the tweet asking where they got this information and they haven't replied yet.

He's AJ Storr without the talent or the money AND he was dumb enough to go to Kent for a year. 3 strikes, you're out.

Amanda Garrett got paid to type a lot of words that ultimately provided zero details. The 30 seconds I spent skimming that article are lost forever. Bummer.

They're going the Drake/Ben McCollum route. Interesting.

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.
