His dad is a former Akron QB under Faust and was the 1990 Athlete of the Year for UA. He is currently the co-OC & TE coach for Syracuse.

At least we know Joe's system now and can have realistic expectations for Michael Johnson Jr. When Bullock committed and played, we were so confused and ultimately disappointed in year 1 with his throwing ability, not realizing he was brought in to be an under-center running back.

6.1 yds per carry in 2023 for FAU. Syracuse hardly used him.

Yup that's a great point. St. Bonnie right now is loading up on Euro talent.

Freeman and the Pacers will be in Cleveland for the 2nd round of the playoffs. How cool is that for Enrique!

Yes. It's an indication that players are more likely to stay in college, which will suppress talent to the G5s. If P5s aren't constantly losing 1 & done's to pro basketball (both domestic & overseas), they won't have to scrape as much of the G5 ranks for their replacements. The top G5s will obviously be targeted but the overall floor for talent level that will fill the G5s should be higher than before.

This will ultimately benefit Akron in the long run.

That's the point - the recruiting game has evolved and 18 year old projects aren't going to do well very often vs what are now 23-24 year old (sometimes even older) "seniors". It'd be one thing if Kent had the type of NIL and culture that schools like Akron and other top mid majors have, but without that guys like this are almost certain to be portaling after a year.

Kent adds an injury prone high school big man to their class. Former Iowa commit whose recruiting really cooled off post-decommit. This seems like a total waste of a roster space by Kent and I'm here for it. The likelihood of him being at Kent more than one year is not great, and the likelihood of a true freshman big man producing meaningful minutes is slim as well. They might as well start using their Elite Eight banner for players to hold in photos. Holding a trophy your arch rival owns the two most recent copies of is simply embarrassing.

Maybe he's a Tony Romo fan?

I know this a basketball thread, but it's too funny that Sendy threw out the 1st pitch and Kent lost. The dude only knows how to lose to Akron.
