Mahaffeys are at the presser.

I think the NCAA is having a BOGO transfer portal deal on D2 and D3 players.

Sendy followed the Zips lead and went up tempo this year. The Flushes averaged 11 points more per game this season than in 2024-25.

The Randolph rumor has been floating since late last week. We'll see. I wonder if we'll see some big transfer news, or non-transfer news, at the presser on Wednesday.

i wish the kid luck and hope he proves me wrong.

Just...wow.

No, not at all. I'm saying what I said, that the Spring game should be made such a good time that it will make you want to buy tickets to come back to see the team and duplicate the fun experience. Looks like they accomplished that in Brimfield.

Gilbert was nothing special when the Zips played Concord.

Hopefully, he's that quality of a player. My response was for those who seem disappointed.

I think we need to remember that not every portal transfer is brought in to be a star. Some are meant to be valuable depth.

Show me such a good time at your Spring game that I want to buy regular season tickets to duplicate the experience.

This screams of indecision and the type of second guessing that makes me question their overall judgment.

I think they expected more then the $6.37 they received from the split. The attendance was disappointing. I think I'd take the risk of hurting the brand over playing the likes of Concord, Heidelberg and Ohio Wesleyan.

Same here. I will lose much sleep.

I'm visiting Duke this weekend yet I am not on the level to play there.

I can hear it now- "I'd like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the good folks at Piggly Wiggly...."

They wanted to get it in before the Spring Game...oh...wait.

...with Fulford who played a role in his recruitment to UA.

I think a full off-season of work on his defense and strength would have gone a long way for Oggie. Unfortunately, he didn't get here until late August or early September as I recall.

I was there and he played but I do not recall him starting.

I think Oggie's shortcomings on defense cost him time. Groce also always emphasizes how the guys practice and I suspect this did not bode well for a kid in a new country and new system. The Zips system is much more up tempo and physical when what he was likely seeing in Europe. Also, Groce's rotations tend to shrink as the season wears on and he ended up as the 10th or 11th guy in a 9 man rotation.

I believe OSU Is having one this year. Our recent Spring games have been glorified practices. They used to be a fun Spring event with the surplus equipment sale but they've become nothing special. Last year's event in the fieldhouse was a snoozer.

What other schools have stopped?

He was 6'2"- 6'3" and really thin, around 160 pounds.

I heard a story from an insider at the tip-off reception that in the pre-season opposing coaches inquired how UA was ever able to get Eric. The same person conceded they'd be very lucky if they were able to keep him over the long term.
