UAZip0510 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Rasor alluded to the Zips having a shot at landing Adreian Payne, currently a Junior out of Dayton, OH. After looking at his scouting reports, I'm thrilled at the possibility of nabbing this guy. Imagine Marshall, Payne, McKnight, Humpty, Nik, etc all together...we can dream, can't we?http://rivalshoops.rivals.com/viewprospect...mp;pr_key=68813 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 He's listed as a center, but I think he could be perfect at the 4-spot next to Zeke. In fact, when we were playing Gonzaga I noticed just how much height they had on us and It made me realize that right now Akron is incredibly short on average.

uafan Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Very athletic and mobile kid. When you are 6' 10" in high school, you're a center. But I see him as a 4 in college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickzips Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I absolutely drool at the prospect of putting this kid on the floor next to Zeke. There certainly wouldn't be a better frontcourt in the confrence and it would match us up well against anyone in the country.Check out the freakish wingspan on this kid.That said, everything I've read has him leaning towards Dayton. Apparently his grandma wants him to stay close to home. Never know though. Maybe a phone call from a certain NBA All-Star connected to the program might sway his mind????

RootforRoo44 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 if the rowdies just got together and made a road trip to a game of his and just went ridiculous rooting for him it could make that kind of impact. I know if i was in highschool and a bunch of one of the colleges' students came roaring into the arena and were the loudest people there and only cheering for me, i sure as hell would keep that college in my mind.

LBJ says something as he leaves like "You know coach, I can see why Akron is bound to be an NCAA Champion in the next four years...." Concidence right?!?
