  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. where are people going to park, or go to before and/or after the game?
  4. 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.
  5. Less than ideal location, Imo.
  6. The Falls as well. I can see the want to stay downtown, however. But I also understand there isnt a large demand.
  7. "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.
  8. 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.
  9. Its a legitimate complaint. They say it feels too "big time" and doesnt have as good as an atmosphere as St. Johns.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. You are right. My bad!
  13. McGary is great moving without the ball. But man, he is bad on defense.
  14. Kind of baffled by the 4 year associates portion as well. Maybe its a typo?
  15. I really like him. He is a tackling machine. Cancer survivor as well, so he is a guy that is easy to root for.
  16. There is nothing wrong with UCLA. Ben Howland was a joke who should have been fired sooner.
  17. Well for one, CCU and Robert Morris arent D2.
  18. Its called loyalty.
  19. I hope they do they Spring practice updates like they did last year. Im really looking forward to the season and expecting to see improvement in the win column, especially with TB & Co having a season under their belt.
  20. FGCU already knocked off Miami this year in Coral Gables.
  21. I'd LOL if VCU put all of that money into new facilities, raising tuition to pay his salary, just to have Smart up and leave.
  22. Shouldnt be a problem if our enrollment continues to grow, which is our goal obviously. What UA needs to do is require 1st year students to live in on campus housing, which they already do, but there are loopholes around it that I know of many people who have exploited. Also, take notes of other urban universities like OSU and not allow freshman to have a car for the first year. Another alternative is something like Can't State does, which is require their freshman to park away from classrooms at Dix Stadium. Can't runs a bus to the stadium to accommodate for the distance. However, Im not sure if UA has a place like that. Nothing comes to mind right away.
  23. Zeke played fine, its just that McGary played the game of his life.
  24. Wasnt Diggs found not guilty? Big difference when going from word-of-mouth, where any girl can claim you hit them vs feds catching you buying 5 pounds of pot.
