Blue & Gold

Who did you hear was #2? And do you have any feel as to why? Maybe it's just one of those situations where a player wanted to go away to school? But I didn't hear any buzz whatsoever about Akron giving his recruitment anything more than a half-a$$ effort. Maybe it was a situation where Graves told them straight up as a sophomore that he wanted to go away to school? Idk, but I knew this guy was a special one while watching him three years ago. SMH. KD should have been on him like white on rice.

Article states Tommy can't throw till June. Kato was/is the QB-in-waiting, but Nick Johns is a physical specimen. This QB competition is going to be fun to watch.

And, yeah, I'm stealing a bit from the Winter Strength & Conditioning thread, but I thought we should probably start this one. Here is the updated spring roster

Hey, a spring ball article Are you ready for some football? Zips face some questions in spring practice after disappointing 2016 season

And Newman Williams to DT. Unless, of course, we want a 3-star recruit to just sit the bench for four years. That could be the master plan, I suppose.

^^That's not the entire interview. Here is the entire 10 minute interview. Says Big Dog's kinda banged up.

If we're going to renovate the JAR I don't think there's any way around this. And that's fine by me. We desperately need a more plush facility. As is, the JAR is embarrassing.

He's explosive like Ivey but with a better handle & much more natural outside shot. Here's another near eye-to-rim-level throw down.

I'm already regretting it and we have four years of weeping and gnashing our teeth to look forward to.

Good call. Charles E. Smith Center @ George Washington University

One of my favorite points in the telecast was about two minutes in. Antino had just missed deeeeep 3-point shot early in the shot clock & the announcer said, "I just looked over at Keith Dambrot to see if he thought that was a bad shot... HE DIDN'T! Apparently Antino's got the green light like that."

Have you happened to have seen Cornerstone Christian's Michael Bothwell?

I need one too. I posted that I thought we'd lose by double-digits.

He's joking about Ivey missing that layup. Earlier in the year he said he loved Ivey because he makes his layups.

You're thinking of Ivey.

Agreed. I'd prefer this every year.

Due to construction at Ford Field, the 2017 MAC Media Day will be held at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

This man feels your pain.

I just don't have confidence in this team. Kinda felt this way all year, even after we hung close w/ Gonzaga & held our own against Creighton. I'm betting we get beat by 10+.

Finally someone mentions a more accurate assessment of Big Dog's weight. To have listed him at 295 was laughable.

Too bad it states that. If you read the thread only 1 or maybe 2 wing nuts want KD fired. Everyone else, rightfully so IMHO, simply want KD to shake things up a little bit.

I wish men's b-ball would just adopt a typical 4 quarters format.

+1.

All signs to point toward KD wanting to retire at Akron.
