All you need to know about Groce's contract. I enjoy reading Kevin Kleps. Think Darren Rovell on a local level with the douchiness. http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20170410/BLOGS06/170419986/akron-mens-basketball-coach-john-groces-earnings-will-nearly-double

Important to note during this discussion. This article is a bit dated so the number may not be as high, but still close. There are 19 million Americans without high speed internet access. Hard to "cut the cord" or satellite if you do not have high speed access. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/22/fcc-rural-internet-access_n_1821478.html

It's going to be an interesting next few days, that is for sure. Hopefully Groce pulls something off.

Apparently Tino is a grad transfer as well.

i came across this article regarding the struggles of CUSA and wanted to share. Mods feel free to move if you think it goes somewhere else. http://pilotonline.com/sports/college/old-dominion/football/it-s-inevitable-conference-usa-as-we-know-it-is/article_19e86f15-f21e-53f4-8868-505de84abcf2.html Marshall and probably WKU seem like the most logical fits for the MAC, but if I am being picky I would want Marshall and MTSU.

Interesting that Noah is apparently a grad transfer when Hilltopper essentially said the opposite just on Friday.

My god...we are talking about losing a coach before he has even coached a game for us. Enjoy the ride, as we will hopefully be able to do.

Wouldn't be anything we haven't experienced before.

I'm over the grieving stage so I am not trying to dog Dambrot here, but what exactly is he 1 in a million of? At the end of the day he left us on his own terms.. Also read something today that the only reason he didn't bolt before was because TJ McConnell transferred from Duquesne to Arizona in the offseason that they were targeting him, so take that FWIW.

Agree. Out of likes.

To elaborate more on the Dailey comments, Bowden basically said he is as talented of a corner as Akron has seen in a long time. Now maybe I am biased, but I think we have had some pretty decent players at the collegiate level in the defensive backfield and even have some pretty talented young guys as well. Saying that about Dailey has me pretty excited.

I heard Groce saying somewhere in all of the press conferences and interviews today that Hawaii is still on.

That's great. Thanks Illinois for paying him to coach for us!

Pluto on the Groce hire. Morris, where are you getting that salary info? Good on Larry if its only 350k the next 2 years. http://www.cleveland.com/pluto/index.ssf/2017/04/akron_basketball_john_groce_a.html

I get way more out of the guys on 1350 than our local beat "reporters". I need to start listening to them more.

TB talking about Nate Stewart as a guy to watch at WR. Also talked up Darian Dailey (highly) and Brandon Council. Bell is apparently still on the team as well.

To add, I have to imagine he would be the focal point of Groce's system next year if he is here.

Some more GREAT work by WZIP...Also TIno's comments show that @UAZip0510 was correct once again in that he was planning on transferring before KD left.

if that happened...WOW

Good Q about scheduling from Dunn.

The WZIP kid asked the best question...and I am not shocked.

Dustin Ford will be a member of the staff. Younger brother of Geno Ford.

Check the Akron Zips facebook page, B&G. I tried posting the link but it embedded weird.
