Blue & Gold

^^I think this has a lot to do with it.

I saw that last night. Though I've lifted my entire life, I don't know squat (pun intended) about D-1 level, sport-specific strength and conditioning. But I could at least tell the players liked Gildersleeve. I hope Coach Arth has a great hire up his sleeve for Sleeve's replacement, b/c, (along with Otis Mounds & Marcus Wattley), I was thinking we should give Gildersleeve strong consideration for staying on.

It would. Ivey and Sayles are our only players who play consistently above the rim. Utomi is especially earth-bound. Riak plays offense like he's afraid the rim's gonna bite.

Anyone know what's up with Roscoe's lack of PT? Earlier in the year I liked what he gave us, but he's beginning to look tentative while he's in there. A lack of PT & a short leash will do that. I hope Groce doesn't ruin his psyche. Walter getting meaningful minutes. I like his D. I'd like to see him hoist a 3 once in a while.

That’s good news, right?

I voted for the American Athletic Conference. Since we don't really have a realistic shot of ever being invited to join the B1G for all-sports, my thinking was it may be a good move to get our foot in the door & develop relationships w/ the member schools of the AAC.

Often not a great arrangement. So I hope Porter has immediate success.

I love me some Channel Banks. Wish we had seen more Roscoe, especially now that we’re heading into MAC play. Without looking at the box score, I think Kostalac got more PT than E-man.

Exactly! ?

I think most are posting tongue-in-cheek. But this is where I am. I just enjoy watching the Zips play. I enjoy sneaking into an occasional intra-squad scrimmage just to watch the Zips ball. I’ll be there tomorrow.

I can't believe... well, actually I can... that the ABJ didn't pick up on this story at all.

I think it requires a mod to change a thread title.

I appreciated that sequence as well. He was battling down there, was aggressive & wasn't at all intimidated. He didn't score, but it was a good sign. Just keep battling like that, Jaden. You consistently keep battling like that and calls begin to go your way.

I subscribe to some email called TeamRankings & they update the Zips' ranking after each game & give a forecast for their next game. TeamRankings give the Zips a 100% chance to beat the CM Tartan. 99% I can understand. But yeah, they went with 100%

Groce really tightened up the rotation last night. Only seven players saw the court. Neither Olojakapoke nor Roscoe played. Both Utomi & Ivey played 39 minutes while LCJ logged 35 minutes. Nevada was also forced to give the game everything they had, as they also only gave 7 players any PT. Both Martin twins played 39 minutes, while Jordan Caroline logged 37. That was a slugfest last night.

Exciting to get this information flowing in. Still, I was hoping we'd retain coach Mounds.

No, we didn't have anyone sign. We won't know of any official signings till the 2nd signing day in February.

If anyone's interested, for comparison's sake, here are KSUck's early recruits. Only two local players, 1 from Jackson & 1 from Massillon. Ohio dot com: Kent State football 2019 early recruiting class

Hmm... yeah, you're right. Idk.

Coach Tom Zagorski has edited his Twitter homepage to say he's from the #330 & includes a picture of downtown Akron on his profile.
