We've got 3 open if my math is correct! Marshall, Edwards, and Currie are underclassmen leaving.

Edwards has entered the portal, per Verbal Commits.

So assuming the 3 seniors (LCJ, Dailey, Reece) don't come back, and Currie and Marshall are gone, we have room to add at least 2 players who can contribute right away. Creators, creators, and more creators please.

I'm not either, but I can't see it now as well! The U is covering tuition and general expenses (after other aid) for freshman who are eligible to receive Pell Grants for their first two years. Limited to Summit County and surrounding counties. Based on my memory, anyways.

Finally a little bit of incentive to attract students! Is it worth it though? https://www.crainscleveland.com/amy-morona-blog/university-akron-creates-zips-affordability-scholarship?utm_source=afternoon-report&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20210330&utm_content=article9-readmore

I like. Will probably purchase a few this year. Value is pretty incredible.

Good news for once!

Kato looking good, Arth wants to make sure he isn’t pushing shoulder too hard. Gibson still needs to work on fundamentals. Arth still makes mention of his natural talent, however. DJ Irons out with illness (but not COVID). Expectation is that QB battle will go into summer. SL McCall opening eyes. He will probably play DE in situations with 4 down lineman. Can play OLB too. D-Line got the better of the o-line in general. I agree, nice article. Nice to finally get some information since the U is putting out literally nothing

Interesting that George mentions a walk-on RB (ball) and a Rb who is no longer here (AFAIK) in Childs.

For whatever its worth, sometimes I'm known to carry a loaded, concealed gun around. I don't intend to ever shoot anyone, but its nice to know if I ever need it that I have it. Sherman St in Akron is probably a place it would make sense to carry. The difference for me however is that I do it legally. Of course there are also some hoops to jump through to be able to do that, which consist of age, time, and financial resources. The situation is a bad look regardless. Just offering a different perspective. Whatever the intent was, I hope Dollard gets and stays on the right track or he might end up throwing away an opportunity that could change his and his family's life for generations to come. Its not worth it man.

I can't find what their assistant salary pool is offhand, but their HC gets paid ~4x what Arth does at 1.7mm. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Everett at least doubled his salary. What would you do? I hate to say this thought is creeping into my head, but can we really expect to ever be consistently competitive outside of our conference if we can't keep up financially with peers across the country?

This all just sucks.

To Abilene Christian...thats akin to OSU getting knocked out by Wright State, maybe even worse. Yikes.

'grats to OWho. At least somebody in our conference put some respeck on our name!

It would be great if we could experience this just once in my lifetime.......

Preston doing his M Jackson-esque post season impression. Needs to be more aggressive if they want a shot to pull off the upset.

I try and talk the MAC up, then Toledo and UB go out and let us down. Maybe Ohio can pull off an upset or two, though I feel conflicted in wanting it to happen.

Tribble being a top 150 player out of HS would be news to me. I don't remember him having any other offers. Maybe 1? I was a big fan of his based on what he showed his freshman season. Year 2 was a disappointment in my eyes. Didn't see much, if any improvement. I agree his shooting is biggest weakness, specifically his FT shooting considering his physical style of play. Need to be able to capitalize when he gets fouled. Not that his 3 game doesn't need a ton of work, I just don't think everyone necessarily needs to be a threat from there if they can contribute another way.

M Jackson doesn't even look like he wants to be there. 5 shots the whole game with under 3 mins left.

ESPN2. Looking good against the mighty A-10 so far.

Now there's a (sad) stat.

Marshall didn't do much this year outside of those huge baskets late in the BG game. Not saying he wouldn't have developed, but I think the staff was expecting him to come in and contribute more right away considering he came from JUCO.

Assuming Freeman gets put on athletic scholly instead of full-ride academic scholly and nobody else transfers, yes. I don't know think either are a guarantee and suspect we'll have at least one new addition we don't yet know of for next season.

Yup. Looks like we finally got our answer. Best of luck to him.
