Great stuff fellas. Thank you. Looked like Johns and Kato beat Dailey for TDs...hmm. George being moved to CB is interesting to me as I've always thought of him as a tweener LB/SS rather than a CB. I hope it works out though as he is a player that should be on the field.

Ironic that in one post you are saying "kids will be kids" and then in this one holding a comment a kid made against him for the rest of his life. BTW, even after leaving for the NFL early, "Ain't come to play school" continued to take classes and is graduating May 7th. I've got serious respect for any kid, especially an inner city kid who once made immature comments like that, that has learned from it and is doing something most players who leave college early don't in going back to school and getting his degree even when he doesn't need it. I'd hope you would too.

Christ. Who cares.

They did this a few years ago for a soccer game. Specifically for OSU, though. Good to see them doing it again..

Those 2 only had 1 D-1 offer each. They didn't really have a choice.

What is your strategy here if you're Groce? Obviously we need some guys who are eligible immediately, specifically at C and PG. I don't know how it is now, but it seemed before the NCAA gave out special eligibility exemptions like they were candy for basketball, meaning players didn't have to sit out that normally would have. There are a couple talented players with local roots available (Bragg, Hughes). If they were to commit, would they count against the limit this year even though they are ineligible? I am thinking no, which makes things better.

KD is going to be in for a rude awakening when he realizes he can't compete in the A-10 with average at best MAC level talent.

smh

And to be clear, I am not saying Nick Dials isn't worth having or is a bad coach. I am just saying it's lazy rationale if your only reason for wanting him is because he has UA ties.

Who gives a damn. He's gone. Also screw getting a UA guy just to get a UA guy. I want the best guys and he already has 2 pretty good ones. I don't see how having a Nick Dials just to have a NIck Dials provides any value.

Another slow news day! Let's go Groce!

I believe I also read something about it being a Zip football alumni weekend as well? Looking forward to getting some swag on the cheap as I wasn't able to make it last year. For any UA Athletics employee reading this: Consider streaming the game on ESPN3. Would also be good practice for the students.

Somebody has to play point and nobody you listed is a point guard.

We have a winner!

Depends. Unless I am not aware of LSU being the Northwestern of the south.

Got to feel like LSU is the clear front runner here. Even though I would hope we are thought of more highly than a bottom of the barrel SEC team.

Hard to tell much besides they seem to be enjoying themselves. Nice TD run by Chapman at the end. Some face time fro Clayton Eucker at QB it looked like.

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.
