OK, I maaaaaaay have overstated it a little. The website lists a mere 23.

Per gozips.com, "A.J. Milwee is in his seventh season on the Akron staff. Promoted to offensive coordinator in December 2012, he was the second-youngest coordinator (age 30) in the FBS at the time of his promotion. Milwee also mentors the UA quarterbacks." The Zips also have 137 people on the football staff, so there should be plenty of people to help with QB mechanics. I wonder whether it isn't being instructed or whether it isn't being absorbed.

I know they've always tried to work them in when Danny Peters was here with Ball State, in honor of his dad, but the Zips only play at Ball State this year.

Transfer from Long Beach State. 5-8 point guard.

Just so many interchangeable 6-3 to 6-7 guys. This could be fun.

I think you'll see Sayles, Riak and Poke sliding in and out of the 4 and 5 when they go big.

So, Zips insiders, what's everybody's guess on a starting lineup and rotation?

Joe's p!$$ed. He's going back to only attending high school games at Infocision.

Embarrassing damn loss. Darn sick and tired of the one forward two steps back of this expensive program.

Season starts ONE MONTH FROM TODAY!!!

Finish.

I am pretty confident that all of the hard work put into this coupled with all of the complex computations and predictive data will result in the MAC getting exactly one team into the NCAA tournament.

Lord, I hope our football team is that fit!

As a point of reference, WVSU lost to our old friends the Concord Grapes. DII school, also plays Notre Dame College. Seems about right. I wish the kid luck. I don't think there was a place for him in the Zips' future, but the kid always seemed to have a good attitude and played hard.

That's a sorry commentary on the state of University of Illinois basketball if they have a spot for De La Rosa. On his 4th school and averaging only 11 points and 7 rebounds in the MAC last which wasn't exactly teeming with quality big men. I hope they have room left to add Virshon Cotton to the roster. Edit- I missed that Cotton signed with LIU Brooklyn. Damn, seemed like a match made in heaven.

Great kid from a wonderful family. Has a good handle and decent shot, but Blue & Gold pretty much sums up what his role will be.

That's the sense I got, but I could be wrong. Certainly, the program was failing.

I don't know whether it's a good or bad hire. I'm just always a little hesitant to get excited when you push out a coach because you are unhappy with the direction of a program and then you hire an assistant that was a part of the same program that was going in the wrong direction. My hope of course is that their familiarity with her helped establish that she is indeed the person for the job and that she was a bright spot on the former staff.

Let's hope he lands at the same school as Virshon Cotton.

Maybe the class was "Dangling Prepositions." He certainly shows the skills for an A in that subject.

Maybe he just always wanted to live in Bossier City, Louisiana. It is the gateway to Shreveport you know.

Damn JuCos! If this is true, the sins should follow the sinner, not be used against an entirely new team and staff. However, if that was the case, Calipari would be waiting tables at the IHOP.

Exactly. With every day that passes the new coach is further hampered in recruiting and preparing for next season. No reason you can't interview and figure out who the coach will be with an effective date down the line. Any chance there's an inside candidate already in line for the job? Maybe they're looking for one person to coach women's basketball and men's baseball.

I will give Kest credit for resurrecting an awful program, but wow did it all fall apart quickly.
