Also ironic coming from the guy who wants Akron to drop to 1-AA

A MAC championship and a national championship arent comparable.

You're right. Thats what I meant, sorry.

That's actually a fair point. However, I have not heard of Q speaking out about being treated unfairly; just other people giving their opinions. I will say that he is guilty of putting himself in that situation multiple times, but I cant fault him. Its quite common for people of all ages to stick around with somebody they have a history with even though its obvious to everybody outside of the relationship that it is not going to work. With that said, Quincy wasn't even charged of the accusations, which is why I have no hard feelings and would welcome him back.

We should be thankful he doesnt want to go somewhere else.

LOL. Give me a break man.

Isnt Brad Swanson the head of marketing? The fact is Soccer is already established and has great support. The University is trying to get the other sports caught up. Feel like that was kind of obvious.

I wont need a second chance for something of the magnitude of drug trafficking.

Man, why are we so worried about losing a guy when we were the only D1 school interested in him? Key word is interested, no way we offered him a scholly.

Just stop.

I said he is capable of hitting them. I never said he could hit them consistently, nor did I say that he will get drafted because of that. I was using it to shoot down the "limited" offensive label some of you are trying to give him, especially compared to some other 7 footers. Saying one of the most efficient scorers in the country is limited is laughable. Now please stop taking my comments out of context.

never heard of a player who is a premiere shot blocker described as "soft". Done arguing with you guys. I've made my points. We will see who is right and who knows nothing when the draft comes around.

I really dont see how you can say he is awful against guards driving. From what I recall, very few guards scored over him. As for the Tyler Zeller comparison, I dont see how you can compare them whatsoever, but I will bite. I admit Zeke is not the offensive player that Zeller was in college. But remember, Zeller is nothing AT ALL on defense like Zeke. You knock Zeller, but seem to forget he was drafted in the middle of the first round, and is only a rookie. He is 4/6 against the Hawks and Al Horford at halftime right now, actually. Zeller struggles in the NBA because he is a softie. He doesnt have the physical game like most centers in the NBA, or like Zeke. Zeke, however, is not limited on offense when you compare him to other centers that actually have a similar playing style to him. Noel and Withey are good comparisons, IMO. Zeke is much better on offense than both of them. However, they will be drafted higher because of having higher upside. Noel has absolutely no offensive game at all and people had him going #1 before the ACL. I think he will be drafted late first/second. It depends on what type of center a team wants. I know the Cavs could sure as hell use some interior defense. I guess that we will have to wait and see, though. I wish the best to him, and could see him having a decent length career in the NBA regardless if he is drafted or not.

Yeah, Im alright with KD having some input, but the decision shouldnt be made based on his opinion. The new arena will be around a lot long than KD.

where are people going to park, or go to before and/or after the game?

I hope you are joking. Anyways, on Koroma, I didnt watch as much Zips soccer as what I usually do last year, but saw a ton of potential in him.

Less than ideal location, Imo.

The Falls as well. I can see the want to stay downtown, however. But I also understand there isnt a large demand.

"City of Akron U"...pretty disrespectful. I've noticed a lot of Akronites call Akron "Akron U". The city wouldnt be what it is without the ~30000 students who attend the University and bring business to the city. The Ramada is still located downtown, and close to the Convention center at that. Im sure the people the Convention center are targeting would rather stay at the Ramada instead of being mixed in with students.

Its going to be a black-eye for the University no matter what the circumstances are if he comes back. He would probably have to be PROVEN squeaky clean in the situation (which I dont see any possible way that can happen), not just a plea deal and/or a slap on the wrist for a first time offender. He just happens to be friends (was this kid even a student) with some 18 year old living miles south of campus, and not only friends, but happens to be at his house when a 5 pound package of marijuana arrives? Its a tough loss, but I try to put morals over the want to win at all costs.

Its a legitimate complaint. They say it feels too "big time" and doesnt have as good as an atmosphere as St. Johns.

I never said he is bad. Please keep taking my comments out of context. OK, lets just ignore the fact that even with a great rebounder next to him, he still averaged his best ever (7.0) this season. I said he is capable of hitting outside shots, unlike most 7 footers. He will get drafted. The only thing "limited" about his offensive game this season was his 7.1 shots per game. Reggie Keely, on a team in love with the 3, had more attempts per game than Zeke.

He doesnt rebound "efficiently" because he is going for the block usually, which puts him out of position. How is he limited offensively? Cant think of many 7 footers in college that can hit deep 2s/3s.

You are right. My bad!

McGary is great moving without the ball. But man, he is bad on defense.
