2019-2020 Akron Zips Basketball- Looking Forward

GT gonna GT -
I'm glad Buffalo had some success the past 2 years. Makes the MAC look better. Is Oats going to be there long term? Seems like right now is a pivotal point for him to make that decision. He loses a lot and could end up costing himself a lot of $$$ if he stays and isn't able to at least replicate recent success. I have trouble seeing him there next year, IMO.

KD made more than that (with bonuses) his last year here, and he obviously achieved much less. -

You might want to look at how many players have transferred out of Duquesne since KD got there. Nature of the beast in a transition period. KD left on his own, was the highest paid coach in the MAC, and might as well have had a lifetime contract. Enough with acting like it was Williams' fault. -

Always been a big fan of Utomi, but I can admit he didn't step up the way I thought he would this year. Still hurts. I hope we get some good news, and soon. Tough to feel good about our program when we are losing likely our best player. -

Ugh.... -
The updates on Alvin are very encouraging. I saw corner as the biggest hole on the team coming into the season, but never really thought moving him there would be an option. Glad he has looked just as effective there. Probably a good thing for both the team and himself honestly, as I'd think he has a better chance at the next level at CB than S, due to his size. Maybe I was mistaken, but I always looked at him at the "QB" of the defense back there at S. He was an active communicator. I wonder who is going to assume that role.

Let's hope Matt does some lobbying for UA for the Chris Livingston recruitment. Hell of a player!

Many good, rational thoughts, IMO so far. I took a peak and just realized we finished the season with only 8 scholarship players Utomi, Ivey, Cheese, Banks, Poke, LCJ, Riak, and Roscoe. Williams sitting out, Toles injured, Gueye a waste, Marc transferring, and Sayles injured. I think if we're being fair, that isn't a lot to work with. Sure Groce is partly at fault. I saw the biggest need this year to be back up PG, consistent big man play, and a knock down 3 pt shooter. to create room for others. Do any of our newcomers give us that? I still hold out faith that one of Poke/Sayles/Riak can be at least a solid, consistent 5. It seems like Reece and Xerious can contribute to the inside game as well based on highlights. Williams is also a 3pt threat. Him, Utomi, and LCJ collectively may be able to get the job done in that regard even if we don't have a Kretz or McAdams level shooter. I firmly believe LCJ and Utomi are better than what they shot this season. I'm pretty high on Mikal Dawson and think Ali Ali is in line for a redshirt. I see the core of our team next year being LCJ, Utomi, Cheese, and Williams. LCJ flashed in the OOC and seemed to come along better towards the end of the season. He will always have to deal with his size, but he was also adjusting to "moving up" this year. If he can make smarter decisions and starts to shoot better, which i feel he can, I feel comfortable with him the next 2 seasons. Cheese is an off-ball guard, not a PG 2019-2020: PG: LCJ/?? SG: Cheese/Banks/Roscoe/Toles SF: Utomi/Dawson/Ali Ali (redshirt) PF: Williams/Reece C: Riak/Sayles/Poke It seems clear to me where we can afford to lose someone and where we need to fill a hole. This season probably didn't meet a lot of our expectations. I still feel confident in Groce, but he needs able to get next year's squad to be MAC competitors, barring unforeseen circumstances. We need a true backup PG and i think we're on the right track.

traitor graves with the flagrant.

Lets get this upset Zips!

i wonder if he can shoot?

Turns out I was pretty spot on. https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2019/3/11/18237536/uab-football-2019-preview-schedule-roster

I have not looked at the updated roster in-depth yet, but I did notice East's Jeramulin Suggs is no longer on it. If he's really the only loss from the transition, I think our staff did a hell of a job with player retention.

4 minutes of video for the first practice! I think I might see Alvin at corner. Spring prospectus also: https://gozips.com/documents/2019/3/8//2019_Spring_Prospectus.pdf?id=13688

Not the best example, but Milwee did it off the top of my head. For some reason I feel Amato did it too.

coaching staff finally official. https://gozips.com/news/2019/3/8/arth-completes-akron-football-staff.aspx?fbclid=IwAR0lFLTpEpGJQKVJC9pw3xBgpTj1I4LFE-XFE0AO9DsDie4lpP-JY6Rd9Es

Not according to our 2019 spring roster.

i got two better ones for you...Gardner-Webb.

Davis was top 5 in everything but bench and 20yd shuttle among his position group. Nice job! It might be time to start guessing where he gets drafted...
