Blue & Gold

Especially Patton. He's scared to shoot the ball. Wish he'd just let it fly. He needs to loosen up.

HOLY SH!!!!T!!! Look at Bubba Arslanian equating 605 pounds. According to the tweet Bubba weighs 218.

I concur with Jackie Windon, that second half Miami played to win and the Zips played not to lose. The Zips, as Jackie put it, "were playing east-to-west."

Akron Beacon: UA President Wilson is finalist for top job at University of Central Florida One of four finalists.

Looks like they've got Michael Traylor-Bennet working out at WR

I was a bit concerned about playing NIU a mere 5 days after traveling to Mount Pleasant to face CMU. But that turn-around is not nearly as tough as the turn-around NIU has. They play at BYU a mere 5 days before coming to Akron. Hopefully the Huskies will be a little worn out & flat.

Excellent news! Adding a 3-star LB & 2 DL (Jest being a 300-pounder). Jean-Baptiste's highlight show him playing DE (he can really move for a man his size!), but at 270-pounds, he could also play some much-needed DT.

Tonight on ZipsLive Coach Groce reiterated that he's been happy with our effort over the last 4 games.

Only 5 home games.

Both our games against BUGS were nail-biters. BUGS seems to have a mental block against us. There's no way that team should lose to our depleted, young roster. They've got A LOT of firepower on that team: Frye Turner Lillard Koch Wiggins There's no way they should be losing to our young squad with one player over 6-6

For next year's ('19) recruiting class we already have three commitments - and all players from Florida. So I don't think we have to worry about Bowden & Co. pulling out of the Sunshine State. (See post #1 in the "2019 Recruiting" thread.) However, for '19 we have also offered a LB from Cincinnati, Jarred Uran (La Salle). IIRC we haven't done much (any?) recruiting of southern Ohio since Bowden's been here. So maybe this is in response to this new initiative?

I got home with about 10 minutes left in the game & he didn't see the floor. Did he play at all tonight?

+1

Sadly, I agree with Clark. This Akron Beacon game day story reminded me that when we beat BUGS, at home, on Cotton's last-second shot, Sayles contributed 14 points and 4 rebounds. I believe Demajeo Wiggins and Derek Koch will have their way with us tonight.

I believe those are offers, Skip. I believe the chart indicates he was showing "medium" interest in them.

I like him already.

Wish we could have opened with Morgan State at home before travelling to Nebraska.

Wood: 6-6 Tree: 6-7 Rome: 6-7 Since I stand a whopping 5-8, I consider the above heights pretty close to 6-8. Lol

Well said.

Keep updates coming, please!
