Then he'd be blue cheese.

I hope he gets to shoot technicals so that Frenchy can say "the Cheese stands alone...

Not holding my breath on Alvarez. He's going to end up at Wichita State.

If he has character issues and gets moved along like Cotton, will Groce be accused of cutting the Cheese?

I saw something that described him as a combo guard.

Looks like another lefty.

Here it is-

Sounds like he was battling some injury issues- https://www.daytondailynews.com/sports/xeyrius-williams-announces-leaving-dayton-flyers/sWAWyHGN9W5cJ8QitOMkcO/

Now Wilson is a candidate for the presidency at Utah Valley University. https://www.ohio.com/akron/news/local/ua-president-is-finalist-for-top-job-at-utah-state-university I.....AM.....SO.....DAMN.....CONFUSED.

The kid showed promise. He frustrated the hell out of me for the first half of the season by coupling that promise with inexcusable mental lapses. I think in time, he would have been a nice MAC player. If he thinks he's a top notch player who can succeed at a place like Oklahoma, he's going to be very disappointed.

On the heels of-

That one does hurt. Kid has potential. While I am feeling spurned, I'll get in the unsolicited dig to wish his next coach luck in keeping him engaged (especially on defense where he would occasionally get lost).

Softball recently won a game to improve their record to 2-31-1.

Technically, she retired- https://www.ohio.com/akron/sports/university-of-akron-womens-basketball-zips-coach-jodi-kest-announces-retirement

The game is definitely changing.

Interesting article from Cleveland.com on the sports budgets of the non-OSU public universities in Ohio. The UA takeaways- UA is 8th out of 10 in the percentage of expenses covered by ticket sales; 2nd of 10 in the amount of per student subsidy towards athletics; and 3rd of 10 in total athletics expenses. Not positive figures in support of a new arena. http://www.cleveland.com/expo/erry-2018/04/75b2bda3ed/money_in_ohio_college_sports.html#incart_m-rpt-1

I think the views of some of the Zips fans have been a little skewed by Akron's great luck in having Zeke and Big Dog. Quick, name 3 other top notch 6-10 or larger MAC big men in the last 10 years. Tough job without cheating. MAC teams get by with serviceable, not outstanding big men. They may get a 6-7 to 6-9 quality forward type occasionally (Hall; Campbell; Moss, etc.), but the classic big man who is impactful in the MAC is a most rare commodity.

I'm concerned that none of them have matching shoes.

The kid was good enough in the A-10 that I think he could help, but I see absolutely nothing tying him to the Zips.

I'd love for the Zips to have come up with another quality big in the recruiting process, but their failure to do so isn't fatal.

They were transfers, not redshirts. They practiced with the team, attended every home game and seemed very engaged. Can't imagine they'd pi$$ away a year.

I think Lebron should write that check.
