Interesting article on Detroit Mercy's Antoine Davis who took approximately 900 shots (really only 26) at the JAR this past season. Daddy-ball at the D1 level. https://www.si.com/college-basketball/2019/06/03/antoine-davis-detroit-mercy-mike-davis-nba

My point was that WVU will do something OSU won't- play the "lesser" Ohio schools.

It is nice that the largest in the State of West Virginia will do what the largest university in Ohio won't.

Translation- "I screwed off academically for the last 4 years and believed I could succeed solely on my athletic talent, or I have a higher opinion of my skills than the college coaches, so I am going to prep school to qualify or further showcase my skills. Please respect my decision of choosing prep school over junior college."

...and he's not 6'11".

Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh, finally some damn news.

Very odd looking shot. It goes in, but it isn't pretty form.

I don't see him being much of a presence at Malone.

If Kostelac was a D1 talent another D1 school would have snatched him up. He was destined to a career on the bench at any reasonable D1 school. Walsh is a good fit.

Good for Mark. That's a well-coached (by Akron Ellet's own Jeff Young) and a level of play where he can excel.

Sorry, that should have been "done thunk."

Roscoe did not end up being the contributor I thought he would be when I saw him early in the season. That being said, it was his first year of D! basketball. He has enough offensive skills to be a contributor off of the bench. I thunk with more experience things slow down for him, he plays more under control and becomes a spark off of the bench.

Yet another reason for me to shake my head, ponder the mediocrity and utter to myself "what the hell?"

We could really use another Big Dog or Zeke.

No question. I trust it's what he would like to run in a perfect world. Right now he's resigned to emphasizing defense and slowing things down.

Interesting stuff. I have to say though that I haven't seen much of anything resembling a D'Antoni offense under Groce at Akron. 69 ppg is not a D'Antoni offense.

Looks like Mike Anderson, the guy canned by Arkansas, is in line for the St. John's job.

Bobby Hurley (ASU), Porter Moser (Loyola- Chicago) and Tim Cluess (Iona) have all turned down the St. John's job. Apparently, not the desirable job some thought it may be.

Daniel's not that much of a loss (says the guy who found his ex-girlfriends much less attractive after they broke up with him).

GT told me he's doing the graduate transfer thing.

...he's also not 6'11".

...and his mommy didn't have to pretend he was on the crew team and pay half a mill to get him in!

Now I am afraid the Iowa Hawkeyes program is falling apart as kids are transferring out!

Let's be honest here. A kid who was recruited to a Big 10 school generally has the talent to succeed in the MAC.

I could see Dustin Ford being as a head coach at some point, but not now. Assistants generally move up to HC jobs either as a promotion where they are (and Groce is going nowhere for now) or they move on from a very successful program (which UA is not right now). A small college could take interest, but he's going nowhere in D1 as he's attached to Groce right now and Groce isn't having great success. Also, D1 programs are more likely to look for P5 assistants than MAC assistants.
