+1. He's one of my all-time favorite Zips.

I'd hate to see us lose Buffalo (love to hate those guys). On the other hand, I'd love to see us regain Marshall (love to hate those guys).

Hopefully we'll now be playing Toledo twice on an annual basis. Throw gasoline on the UA-UT rivalry. Man, I wish we got them again this past season ?

Don't be a stranger, brother! Go Zips!

There's really no reason at all why we shouldn't be competitive in the MAC.

@bigjim ^^I remember tossing that idea around while updating last year's recruiting class list as well. Without looking, IIRC I did include them. So good call. I'll add your above mentioned players to this year's list of recruits. And thanks for linking the article. According to the article Reese plans on studying nursing. ✊??

Thanks, @bigjim! I got the 280 figure from his hudl profile and from his twitter profile. I'm not familiar with "the news?" Could you link it?

14.6 ppg, 10 rpg. (Shhh, but it may only be 9.5 rpg.) ?

Pretty cool "Akron State." ?

The club is now under different ownership. So it's back to the unwashed masses for me ??

Okay, stupid question. But scholarships don't really cost the U any tangible $$, do they? Just on paper, right?. Sure, you can say the scholarship is worth $xx,xxx.xx, - and it is to the student; the diploma they receive is in fact worth that much $$. But from the U's perspective isn't the scholarship simply letting a student sit at a desk which would otherwise be empty? My dad was friends with someone who owned a country club. He let my family use the facilities free of charge. It was a great deal for us - and worth about $8,000/year from our perspective. But it didn't actually cost him anything because we wouldn't be going to the CC otherwise. Edit: @kreed5120 hit on this while I was typing.

@Illini Zip, where did you find his stats?

Kent is the most superfluous school in NEO. Why does it exist? We only need Akron, YSU & CSU. Kent sucks resources out of Ohio's struggling central cities. Shutter it. And while we're at it, shutter BGSU, which does the same to Toledo. Do whatever is in our power to make Ohio's cities thrive.

I believe Greg Tribble gave his commitment a year ago today. He was our final recruit last season. COVID-19 has thrown everything off, but if we're going to be signing anyone else for next season it should (?) be soon.
