    Great pictures, Good Doctor!

    They should. I believe this is the second year they've been wearing "New York" on their chests.

    http://www.cantonrep.com/sports/20160310/fat-boy-comes-up-big-for-pups I've been seeing Jordan Davis consistently listed at 6'8" now. His stats are underwhelming, but I've seen McK play a few times this year and they're so guard-oriented they often don't do a very good job of getting Davis the ball down low.

    Gotta jump on them early. They're playing well right now with two upsets in a row. Gotta take their confidence away and establish that this game is going to end just like every other game against Akron.

    Next year you'll get two. Daniel Utomi. Isaiah Williams.

    That's what KD's been able to do with the basketball program. The b-ball Zips are all proud to be Zips & love being on the team.

    Jayvon Graves is a Class of '17 guard at STVM. He's a good 6'2" is a fantastic athlete and has a complete game. Does any insider know whether the Zips are pursuing Jayvon? I found this quote in an article about STVM: "Graves is a guard with scholarship offers from Kent State, Ohio University, Toledo, Northern Kentucky, Cleveland State and DePaul."

    I hope he continues to develop & have fun playing football. But the odds of him (or anyone) getting a D-1 scholarship are slim-to-none. Just my 2 cents, but I wouldn't put too much additional pressure on him. Right now he looks like he weighs 80 pounds. There is a big high school around here named Canton McKinley. McK produces quite a few college athletes. McK's head football coach said, "If you want to play college football, I can help you with that. If you want to play D-1 college football, God has to help you with that." Some kids are blessed with great genes; the vast majority aren't.

    Dru Joyce III. Akron's next head basketball coach

    I remember those years with Jimmal Ball, Bosley, Andrick, Kwanza, George Phillips, etc. Those were some of my favorite teams. Ever. Our starting five were better than K.e.n.t's, but Kent ran 10-deep swapping out two complete rotations at a time. I remember with about 10-minutes to go in one of those games, during a timeout huddle, Jimmal Ball was clearly gassed (but simply couldn't come out of the game) & K.e.n.t rotated in a fresh 5 players. You could tell Jimmal was worried. Dramatic stuff!

    Great article by GT. Love & respect all three of these guys! Proud they wear AKRON on their chests. http://www.ohio.com/sports/zips/university-of-akron-men-s-basketball-high-character-zips-seniors-closing-out-home-careers-1.666200

    Can't believe this will be Jake & Reggie's final game in the JAR

    I've got to make plans for next week. Our game is definitely 12:00 on Thursday?
  18. Blue & Gold
    Horrible.
  19. Blue & Gold
    Umm... I'd say that was a far better article than any which have been published by the ABJ this year.

    Buffalo (likely) in the semi-finals. Both Ohio & KSUcks on the other side of the bracket.

    K.e.n.t just lost at MU. Get ready for Tuesday night!!

    Ditto. I was very pleasantly surprised by the crowd. I was expecting another Buffalo-size turnout. I suppose getting on tv is worth it. Idk. I don't like competing with the high school games. There's nothing we can do about the CAVS, but we should complement the high school schedule, not compete with it. We want high schoolers at our games. I preferred it when we had our weekday games on Wednesday night. It worked much better. Tuesday night - high school Wednesday night - Zips Friday night - high school Saturday - Zips

    Great crowd tonight! It's really gonna be rocking next week. Can't wait! Side note: With 4300 at the game tonight, those JAR bleachers were pretty maxed out. I was sitting in the upper south-side end zone & with people climbing all over each other to find seats it's downright dangerous.
  25. Blue & Gold
    Nice crowd here tonight! Hope we're LOUD!!
