That was what I thought was pretty much the case too but then again we were the only Division 1 school to offer a scholarship to Brian Wagner, he almost got missed. How many of those are out there at smaller schools like Springfield Catholic Central? How many don't get the recognition they deserve because their own high school coaches are misevaluating for that matter? I don't think his one offer has anything to do with what high school he went to.

A good player will get noticed, it doesn't matter where he comes from. This isn't 1980. The only reason I would care what schools we recruit from would be to create a pipeline of sorts.

This place is 5x better than anything the sizzling zone had to offer.

Mannys opened in april.

Temple played our home opener in 07.

I see your Bucks half is in control today, as a pure Zips fan wouldn't think to post something like that on a Zips forum. I think you missed the rest of the thread. Either that or you are trying to pick a fight. Either way, I'm not biting. or someone's sarcasm detector isn't working.

It is a hell of a feat, i agree. Theyve overcome a lot, but imo, their school size wasnt hampering them. like i said, nova, wake, duke (though they are bigger than i thought) are just fine. all the resources you mentioned have nothing to do with student body size, which is what I was talking about. The high school comparison is apples to oranges. They are split up due to having larger populations to pick from, obviously d-1 teams don't face that.

Man, I've had easier times reading racer's posts.

People need to quit making a big deal of the size of the school. It's ~15 people making a difference. How many students do Duke, Nova, Wake Forest, etc have?

I wasn't around, but is have to say the citadel's win would be up there. go mid majors!

Poor guy picked Butler to come in 3rd in the Horizon, didn't he?

If Bardo is coaching Zeke I won't ever come to another game lol

That video was really cool. Some interviews through the season would be cool.

If I remember correctly, this issue was a sticking point between the city and the university. The city wants to build a 10,000 - 12,000-seat arena whereas the university wants an 8,000-seat arena. Also, the city wants a multi-purpose arena (NBA-style also suitable for hockey, indoor soccer & arena football) whereas the university wants a basketball-specific arena (basketball, volleyball). I'm with the UA on this one. Those NBA-style arenas are, ironically, pretty awful for watching basketball. An 8,000-seat basketball specific arena, where every seat in the house would be a good one, is, IMHO, much preferable. i beg to differ. if we can get hockey in akron, and a new arena, i would be ecstatic. plus, the Q has both, and is a nice setup. Consol Energy Center (new Penguins arena) conforms to basketball, as Pitt/Duquesne have a few games there, and also have NCAA tourney games next year. and imo, Consol and the Q are great venues for either sport. granted these both seat 18,000-20,000, so i can't comment on how a 10,000 seat duel-purpose barn would look like.

Seriously though, if they put in a cool bar/restaurant there, exchange would be pretty sweet. Pat's pub just opened, it's a cool little place. Along with BW3's, Pint's, Thursday's, Manny's should be opening soon...nice little "hub" of activity there on campus to go along with the downtown scene.

Where did it move to if you care to share. I drove past it a week or two ago. A few streets south of exchange...next to 76. Came back after break and the signs on the "old" building are gone along with any activity around it.

We also get valpo at home, no? They improved a lot this year iirc.

Guess no one noticed, but CSL Plasma moved.

Akron downtown IS part of campus. There will be no attendance difference due to the location of campus/city. People are overestimating the size of our city. This isn't Philadelphia.

Exciting. I'm more excited for Akron basketball than I've ever been. Hopefully "Joe Akron" is excited over how good we are going to be

KD already knows what I wrote. I speak with him frequently. In case you haven't figured it out; it was my advice about cutting back on running so many offensive sets. And, why the snide? Because I think he knows what he's doing. anyway, i think a long post criticizing your "friend" isn't the way to go about it, but whatev.

Hey GoZips, I'm sure KD would be glad to hear your insight, give him a call. You're friends, right?

I'm honestly really excited for next year. Youtube Tom, don't let KD ever leave.

I would also be a little concerned about Dakotah Euton. There is going to be a log-jam at his position if Nik stays and Harney and Treadwell both get eligible. Conceivably he could be burried pretty far down the depth chart. This is true, but maybe Euton could take a redshirt year. I still think he will be a player. Or at least I hope so. Kid's a winner, and I wanna see our 4/5 man step out and hit some threes

I'd look for him to give the ole boot to one of the returnees if Nik comes back. Is there a realistic chance of Green ever being a contributor? Not knocking the kid, I really know nothing about him.
