2024-25 Post Mortem and Looking Ahead to 2025-26

Nice story on Quincy Diggs' 3 on 3 career. https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/pro/2025/08/01/quincy-diggs-3x3-basketball-akron-zips-2028-los-angeles-olympics/85448522007/?tbref=hp -
With Haliburton out for the season and Myles Turner signing with the Bucks, the Pacers will be a shadow of what they were this past season.

I guess I'll have to overlook my disdain for Anthony Edwards. Go T-wolves!

I'm not sure what's happened as to the Enrique to Minnesota rumors. It seemed pretty solid the night of the alumni game.

Word is that a former Serbian Zips player is helping Groce in Europe. -

What a CULTURE. -
Sounds like the basketball event last night was much better attended than the football event. That also tells you something. I golfed with a couple of Akron football alums last week and asked them about their current relationship with the program and they both voiced frustration with the fact that the only contact they ever have from Akron football or related groups is when they want money. While basketball has nice events for its alums and draw their fans into the mix to further engage the fan base, football falls short. While we see regular clips of the basketball players volunteering at the Rotary camp and having fun at Wacky Wednesdays, we see nothing like that from football. I've also been told that there's a major donor with some serious NIL that's holding it until Morehead is gone. I hope that's not a growing trend.

I believe so. He was standing 50 feet away talking into a microphone as it was spreading around the room so I suspect it is pretty solid. -

The alumni game was fun. LCJ, Cheese, Banks, Dawson, Sayles, Tribble, Thornton, Hunter, Diggs and Gray played. Enrique was there but didn't play. Two pieces of news from the event: Enrique has been signed by Minnesota (I believe on a 2-way); and Groce was in Europe recruiting. -
Enrique is now off to Minnesota after the Pacers pulled back his two-way offer.

Appears to be from the email. -
Neither am I but I think it's relevant to the perceived expectations for the team. Feel free to not respond if you really don't care.

BetMGM has set the Zips' season wins under/over at 4.5.

Some great pics on Instagram of the team working with the disabled kids at the Rotary Camp. -
OU in the Sun Belt Conference sounds almost as bad as Cal and Stanford in the Atlantic Coast Conference!

OU in conversations with the Sun Belt Conference? Reports: Ohio Bobcats have “preliminary” discussions with Sun Belt Conference regarding affiliation - Hustle Belt https://share.google/rs23RD6neeiniYjVq

That's really cool. Only great advancements in technology could fill the seats in Infocision.

Neither. It is a viable backup big man conference. -
