12/5

The Tulane game has been moved to Saturday 11/14.

High Point has games scheduled vs LSU, Saint Louis, and George Mason so far. One Power 5 team is an upgrade.

Connections made with high school recruits can pay dividends 2-3 years down the road now.

So with the rule change that was announced a few weeks ago that allows basketball teams to take international trips on a yearly basis, is this something we will see the Zips take advantage of?

I saw a comment that said he had more games shooting 0-7 from 3 than games he had making 2 threes.

Interesting final 3.

Not sure if Akron being listed first is meaningful or not.

Max Burton was primarily used as a play-finisher and rim-runner, while also contributing as a rebounder and interior defensive presence. Given his 20+ MPG, he projects as a high-impact role player at Akron. I'm guessing he will likely be asked to fill a similar role by setting screens, running to the rim, finishing efficiently, rebounding, and defending.

Whoops, I missed the "predicting" at the top. Removed to avoid confusion.

Edited to remove confusion.

While the team hasn’t even been put together yet, the schedule is already coming together. Akron @ Bucknell 12/2 Tulane @ Akron 11/14

The lack of commitments across college in the first two days *almost* makes you think there hasn't been tampering the last few weeks. 🤣

Sorry if this has been posted already, but I hadn’t seen it.

Players improve year-over-year. Players especially improve when given greater opportunity. A great example is Jimmy Conyers. After 3 years of low production, given more minutes his senior year he was a double digit scorer and was All-MAC 1st team. Good thing we didn't give up on him.

In the transfer portal thread, everyone is annoyed when players do that. In this thread people are annoyed the coach didn't. 🤷‍♂️

Not sure what that is, but happy to provide more ideas if they need some. I came up with those ideas as I typed. I work in marketing. Give me time to brainstorm more and I'll come up with even better ideas.

Students used to have this during the KD era. It was called Roo Rewards and you could get points from all sports.
