Nice spot on Izzo's offense on ESPN at lunchtime today. I'm assuming they will be playing it all day. MSU is another offense that I can understand.

Nice Article. Missing one thing...a photo. AA is a hard worker and a nice guy, I would LOVE to see him have a great season.

Frisman Jackson mention today in the PD

Another suggestion for KD. Teach more "touching" next year. Scientific study proves, the touchiest teams are the best teams. More high fives next year!

Channel 10 is reporting Armon Bassett to turn pro

Good coaching (game planning & preparation). Good coaches win important games. Note: Please spare me a long statistical response to this post.

You would think that if you googled "Armon Bassett leaves ohio" something would come up?

What a great recruiting tool.

You should respect that request. People change their mind. The minute somebody isn't on their team anymore the bashing will begin. Example, any player that has ever left the Browns. Fan: "if this, this and this happened, Player A would be great" Player A leaves the team, same fan "Player A sux, he won't do anything with his new team" I've heard it more times than I care to detail.

That's funny. I'll never forget it. 2005.

What better place to do it than ZN? I enjoy reading your opinions.

that doesn't look like very much digging I did more in my back yard this weekend by myself. PS Thanks for taking the time to take the photo. I always appreciate anybody that takes the time to take a photo and post here. We have many members that aren't from the area.

I loved Huggy. Entertaining basketball. Plus I understand his offensive and defensive philosophy. I'm not smart enough to understand KD's offense and defense. I think that's why I get bored and frustrated watching Akron sometimes. If he ever taught a class on it, I would take it so I could enjoy the games more.

If I never watched a Zips basketball game and just listened to KD talk about defense, I would think he was Butler's coach. Great defense. I wish the Zips played defense like that. Then I could swallow all the defensive talk that KD gives us. Please spare me some long winded statistical response to this post.

I was lucky enough to be on the PSU field before any fans were let into the stadium last year. Guess who the first guy on the field was, catching passes before anybody other than AA stepped a foot on the field? Bowser. He was working hard at his craft and continued until game time. As far as Devoe leaving. I am a little disappointed. I thought he had talent. BUT, I think I agree with STZ, smooth, good frame, but needed to run harder. In hindsight, I wish Tuzze got all his carries last year. Less smooth and frame, more hard nose north and south runner. I think the spread offense fit Devoe's style better, in the pro style offense, we will be running between the tackles more. We need hard nose north and south runners. Move them chains. With the switch between both offense and defensive schemes, you would have to expect players moving positions and players not fitting and moving on. I think this is just a natural progression of a coaching change.

Some chat on Harris from February

A little birdie told me some time ago that the fourth player in the mix is a PG from the Chicago area. You have my attention!

IMO it would be like getting 2 for 1.

I never thought of Humpty transferring until I read this thread. I hope he doesn't and I don't think he will. I think back to times in the MAC tourney like the time he went over to Nik on the bench to talk to him and cool him down. It seemed to me like he was progressing in team communication on the bench to me at the end of the season. He didn't have the body language of a guy that was transferring. I think he has a lot of potential and just needs to focus more. Although, knowing very little about the kids feelings, it wouldn't surprise me either.

Hard work in practice will get Steve playing time, not Facebook pages. Good luck to him.

That would seem to make the most sense. Please be a JUCO point guard, please be a JUCO point guard.

I agree. I was impressed with Ken+'s young QB last year too. Keith Spencer The only game I saw was the Zips/Ken+ game, but he played very well for a freshman. Should be a good game for the next 3 years.

25 pounds. Wow, that will be a different player. I'll be happy if he adds 15. Thanks for posting all KD's comments ZB. I really like reading or listening to KD's comments because he is more honest and telling than most coaches. Probably too much, but great for us fans. I pretty much agree with both ZB & GZ. I love the fact that GZ won't let the PG thing go, saves me some typing.
