Good for OU. One of these years it'll be us. Tough to think about it but last year seemed like the one

Just one tomorrow I think

Oops. 1-1 in the MAC then 😂

Undefeated in the MAC. Social media team is still a little rusty

They were #2 of the first four left out of the tourney

Tribble isn't really a PG to me. He actually plays more like a 3, he's just shorter than the average 3 man. He's like the basketball version of the "athlete" recruit. Hopefully they can work on his jumper and make him less one dimensional. It's like his vertical is a detriment to the jumper almost.. he really springs up there. Just take a little off that and let it fly

offering all* seniors I don't know if it's a money issue moreso than the scholarship limit - guys are coming in on scholarship, guys that were on scholarship have to leave. One way or another

I think we were all anticipating him leaving via graduation - staff probably didn't have room for him and he doesn't want to hang em up yet. Good for Cam

Tulsa is a similar level program to ours, in a bigger conference in his backyard. This would have been a nice pickup but it's not baffling why he didn't want to come the whole way here

eh an Oklahoma kid picking Tulsa over us isn't really that discouraging.

I can definitely see Ali in the 4 spot. He played a great defensive game against UB down low.

Upon further review. Fake news. Played in 7 games. I feel better now

So I've read some comments that Freeman only played five minutes last year. Is that true? That's a crime we didn't try to get a redshirt for him if so. He could still have 4 years left here

I think Groce is trending towards recruiting freshmen vs bringing in transfers. Wynn was the only one brought in this year - Maishe and Trimble came in the year before and sat. This year, at the moment, no incoming transfers.. now that can change as guys transfer out and spots open up. Which is just the nature of the beast I guess, there aren't many good recruits left to fill those spots. But I would say he's relying less on the portal than he has been, unless out of necessity.

Here's a link to the portal. Go ahead and compare Akron to other schools if you'd like. No one left last year and two guys that averaged a combined 8 minutes per game are on their way out this year https://247sports.com/college/akron/Season/2020-Basketball/TransferPortal/

Well here it is. Marshall retweeted it too. I thought he was going to be a nice player. Though, I think we have more of a need for a 2 or 3 man than his spot. Oh well

Hmm I don't see anything on the portal site. Not sure where the VC info comes from https://247sports.com/college/akron/Season/2021-Basketball/TransferPortal/

Mid-week games had their place 10-15 years ago. Now with streaming, every game is available. I'd wager whatever game on ESPNU on a Tuesday night doesn't have ratings materially better than the Saturday games streaming on ESPN3 or ESPN+, at least not enough to kill of the gameday crowds and atmospheres.

Was joke

I just wanted to point out the irony in 71's favorite player being an undersized center 😆

I also would suspect that the academic scholarship would exclude him from receiving the athletic stipend

Do we know that this "academic scholarship" he is on is a full scholarship?
