Ok, it makes sense that they would not want to be excluded. It is definitely a big day for these young men.

Sorry if I am wrong, but walkons don't officially sign, correct? So Wieland signing would imply that he is on scholarship?

Here is everyone that Hustlebelt thinks that Akron signed, but have not yet been announced by the Zips: Jerome Cooper Malik Townsend Matthew Hanson Marcus Kidd Marquise Callaway Marquise Bridges Tracy Jordan Justin Sampson Mitch Cooper Jonah Weiland Bubba Arslanian Some of these are known to be walkons, but there still might be a couple more announcements today.

Hustlebelt signing day recap

This states that Sampson signed, so there is another of the unknowns taken care of.

Lubin is a great pick up. I really wanted him to sign, I loved his film. According to 247sports, he is our second highest ranked recruit, just following Johns. Should give our class ranking a little boost for all that it matters.

Does anyone know why Dunn-Martin has fallen so far down the depth chart? He makes a few mistakes here and there, but I feel like he can make some great plays. He only played 3 minutes tonight, the fewest of any Akron player that entered the game.

Time for a long 2 minutes

The replays are awful and one of the commercial breaks went so long they a full possession was missed at one point.

This is the defense we needed, now JUST SCORE.

Thank you! I can't believe I missed that.

Kind of off topic, but I think this i the best place for my question. Does anyone know if Bowden is having a signing day press conference that the fans can access? I've enjoyed going the last two years and I can't find anything on plans for this year. Seems like the info should be out with signing day only a few days away.

Yep, Big dog hit a free throw with 2 seconds left to win.

I really don't like Blake Hamilton

5 straight possessions that Buffalo has had a second chance opportunity.

D3 schools don't officially give athletic scholarships, but they might as well. I was lightly recruited to play D3 football and every school I talked to said that they can't offer me a football scholarship, but if I committed they could guarantee me a different scholarship that was technically was for all eligible students, but an abnormally high rate of recipients played sports for the school. It always seemed shady to me, but I guess it followed all of the NCAA's rules.

They have been advertising a Saturday double header pretty heavily. WBB game at 5, MBB at 7:30. I doubt they will change it this late.

According to ESPN, attendance was 3,625

I think that this is a game made for Jimond. If he can being constantly cutting/ finding holes in EMU's zone, I expect him to have a pretty huge night. I believe that Big Dog will have around 10 assists in the game.

They lost the franchising rights. The restaurant is still open, it is just called Gridiron now.

How is this team getting outrebounded so badly? Miami looks pathetic down low, but are just destroying the Zips.

This actually really disappoints me. I'm getting tired of Akron playing in an incredibly weak conference and Buffalo was the team that seemed to be starting to take the steps to compete.

I want the best coach available. I don't care if that coach is 25 or 85. Last year Fleck was the best coach in the MAC and was therefore desired by bigger schools. Minnesota offered him a rather large raise and better resources so he took it. I have no issue with someone taking great opportunities. If a MAC school wants to keep a young coach they can always double down and prove that their school is the right place to be. It very rarely works, because it is very rarely true that it is better for the coach to stay. I don't understand why people feel that loyalty means something here. History has shown that the best teams in the MAC don't have there coaches stick around. Many OU fans are getting tired of their current regime because they have not done anything. When is the last time the OU won a MAC title? I would much rather have a coach that comes in, raises the standards at UA, and then moves on instead of continuing to wallow in this .500 record bubble that we seem to be in.

I think this article makes it pretty clear why he chose Toledo. He states that he wants to be "that guy" and his mother mentions that Toledo is losing two seniors at his position. It seems that he just wants playing time and to take on a leading role. Akron's teams aren't exactly known for being centered around one person, whereas Toledo has been at different points.

In other words, all basketball games that are not being broadcast already. It just means that if the game is picked up by another network there won't be an ESPN3 stream. There should be no more cruddy streams with no audio that freezes constantly.
