Blue & Gold

We go 3-and-out again. Down 17-6. Absolutely must hold them here

@exit322 & @Let'sGoZips94 Out of Like, fellas.

Why'd we go for 2 after our TD?

Just saw on X it's raining in Dekalb.

What's up with Phaizon Wilson not contributing at all. I was excited about him.

Sucks having Anderson & David out. Weren't they our two starting safeties prior to getting injured?

Noticed on X that there are some NLI signings occurring today. I guess it's non-football early Signing Day? Keep a look out for Tai'Ree & Josh 💪💪

Groce not having it 👀👀😂

@TennZip is an absolute stud 🫡

Yes, box out! Just like Ohio Wesleyan did to us just a few days ago. They were shorter and less athletic than we are but they were sound fundamentally & it made for a decent game. Box out!!!

For the more knowledgeable, what would you say is the main reason we've turned things around this year after entering Big East play: 1. Embick & Co. have made adjustments (if so, what are they?) 2. The team has simply gelled 3. The Big East is actually pretty weak compared to our OOC opponents

Likewise. I was surprised Ryan Prather & Darrion Baker transferred out and equally surprised Tavari stayed. Having said that, he is but one micro-adjustment away from averaging >10PPG... but I thought the same thing last year. He gets off good shots but doesn't (yet🤞) have that knack for getting them to fall.

I noticed last year - and I'm almost positive I posted about it - that in some random pregame warmup Amani was absolutely stroking 3's. IIRC he hit 9 in a row from the corner & none of them even hit the rim. Also, after we first saw he had signed out of Columbus Beechcroft (IIRC he was a surprise late addition to the '22 class?) I remember us finding Amani's high school highlights & we thought his game looked stretch 4 - at the time we were crossing our fingers for our next Xeyrius Williams. It's good to see him start doing that at this level! He could be quite a weapon in the MAC - but, as someone mentioned above, right now it looks like we really need him banging down low.

This is what I was thinking last night. He's great at running the pick & roll & can get down low almost anytime he wants but he must've missed ~7 or 8 shots in the paint last night. He's gotta get those to go down.

Two days after Guthrie is shown the door JD joins The Summit Circle 🧐

JD Brookhart just joined The Summit Circle 👀🙌💪🫡

Good thread: It's 10 posts in length so you'll need to click the link

His 👆(yes, his, Idc) sweater should be blue though (couldn't find that one)

I love our new A logo. I wasn't happy about switching from the Z as I had been wanting the U to use a Z logo for about 20 years. However, I loved the new A logo the instant I saw it. As far as letter logos go I think it's perfect. Having said that I think we should use the Z as a secondary logo on occasion. My favorite Akron logo (if it ever was an official logo?) was the old 1980-90's cartoon Zippy

We'll need a healthy Harris to hang with St. Mary's.

I love the new A

Not at the game & no ESPN+ stream tonight. Where is Josiah Harris? Was Sharron Young the 1st off the bench. How are Johnson & Johnson looking?
