  1. Unlikeable coach, losing program, lost the Wagon Wheel to an interim/1st year HC... shouldn't be a surprise.
  2. Would imagine only 1 spot remains. We're at 13. The next would be 14, and I would bet Akron goes Walk On for the 15th spot (go find the next Freeman/Evan Wilson/Halligan). Pence & White slot into more of a Wing role on this roster, giving us some really nice depth and balance. Look at the height! Barre 6'10" Burton 6'10" Christion 6'9" MMK 6'6" White 6'6" Pence 6'6" Halligan 6'5" Henderson 6'5" Jones 6'5" Head 6'3" Staveskie 6'1" Wilson 6'1" Perkins 6'0" Couple different directions we might go with the final spot... - We're missing a proven sniper. There's a chance Henderson, Jones, Perkins, Wilson, or Head prove to be that, but at the moment we don't have a proven ~40% 3P shooter. - Another front court piece would be nice. There's a gap between the 6'6" group and the PFs. A 6'7"-6'8" stretch 3/4 would be incredible. - In a perfect world, we get a stretch 3/4 at the aforementioned height that is also a sniper from deep, although that type of player is like Elmer and already committed to Wisconsin.
  3. Such a big get. 6'6" G that had 23 vs. Wake Forest in the NIT, 13 vs. Auburn in the NIT Final Four, etc. Comes from a winning program. LOVE this signing.
  4. Reach out privately and ask if they'll honor the match to make your donation go even further.
  5. There's real momentum behind Ford/the program.
  6. "Big" doesn't just mean post players anymore, either. The average height of the Sweet Sixteen has increased every year for the past X amount of years. Wemby isn't on every team, which means the average height is increasing because winning teams have taller guards & wings.
  7. Size is the name of the game right now. Cleveland State has added something like 7 guys who are 6'7" or taller. Cincy has added nothing but 6'5"+. Akron is getting bigger at G, added a 6'10" guy for the first time since COVID, and I'd imagine at least one of their remaining spots is filled by a 6'5"+ player.
  8. Brisco, Hardman, and Ladd are gone. Confirmed.
  9. Maybe Todd changed his last name to Simone when he contacted him and recruited him in French. Todd always does well in the Portal but struggles to make it count on the court. Let's see if he can bring it all together this year. As opposing coaches go, I like Todd.
  10. 7' 280 lbs. He could be a problem. St. Joseph's > Providence > South Carolina > Bowling Green. His production has regressed with every stop but going back to a mid major might revert that trend. Has a jump shot, too.
  11. Ladd is following Groce to CofC.
  12. Hey, it also got them a 1st round upset of Miami OH in Cleveland, and for that we thank them haha! Here's another factor - height is only useful if it's in the game. 6'10" Chabi Barre would've been useful at many points last season; for whatever reason, Groce didn't play him. If Pierce at 7' ultimately doesn't fit the system CofC ends up playing next season, he'll be an Akron Zip in 2027-28.
  13. 7 footer who averaged 1/1 as a sophomore and probably getting paid high 6, low 7 figures. He would've been a good chunk of Akron's budget and likely not worth the $$$. Akron 3-peated in the MAC with nobody over 6'8"/6'9" - our money was well spent on legitimate production, not a measuring tape.
  14. He had 20/3 vs. Kent. I don't quite understand his game because he isn't a lights out 3P shooter but doesn't get too many rebounds either.
