zippyman23 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Dylan Ennis has decommited from Akron. Akron is still in the mix, but he wants to see what else is out there. http://twitter.com/BounceCanadaAAU/status/15584970451 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If facebook is any indicator, Mr. Marshall is not enjoying his time in Akron too much recently. I haven't heard anything concrete, just observing.

I think I know what you're talking about. I saw his status the other day. Let's hope he doesn't pack up and leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valpo Zip Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Wow! I should not check zipsnation before going to bed. Recently, all the news are of the type that make you loose your sleep. If this is true, some people should loose their jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip-zip Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Can someone please stop the snowball already???? I don't even want to think about what could happen next. I waited 20 years to enjoy the type of success again that we've had the last few years. I'm too old to wait again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave in Green Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Thank you, Zeke's Mom, for some rational perspective! Honest to goodness, if ZN.O starts revolving around speculation about every casual remark every kid makes on Facebook, I'm gonna puke on my keyboard, and that would be a mess to clean up.

ZachTheZip Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I love the paranoia. Zipmeister started it as a joke (his most successful troll yet; a hearty congratulations is in order), and then the anxiety of Zips fans took over. We're paranoid about LeBron leaving, half the Zips basketball team just transferred, and it seems like the athletics department has forgotten that they have fans. It's just a mental snowball effect stemming from the self-hating NE Ohio sports fan psyche. Zeke isn't going anywhere (not yet, anyway ) I'm sick of Akron and the people here, too. They are far too quick to assume the worst, and they seem to enjoy being miserable and spreading that misery to other people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phew, it's nice to have a real "insider." It's hard not to be paranoid in NE Ohio, you're right Zach. Glad to see the kid has his head screwed on straight. We're headed for big things in the basketball world here at UA and Zeke is going to be a big part of it. And as poorly as the Indians are playing and as bad as football is expected to be, I'm already looking forward to seeing the new and improved Zeke & Co. on the hardwood.

Quickzips Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Thank you Momma Zeke for ending the speculation. Zeke is a key member of the Zips and I think it is understandable that people would get a little anxious when rumors like that start flying around.

Don't think we've necessarily lost Ennis yet at this point. Kid seems like he's had a good summer and there has been more attention on him lately. Sounds like he's just looking to see what other kind of opportunities may have opened up for him based on that. I guess you can't really blame him. Hopefully he finds his way back to Summit County Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he finds his way back to Summit County Ohio. I'd be shocked if he re-commits. He's already been contacted by UNLV, Virginia, and Xavier, with likely more to follow. Seems he is looking to go to a higher profile school, and it looks he will have options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Don't commit unless you are willing to keep the commitment. Zeke committed to Akron and followed through regardless of what 'bigger' schools called.

Use your next one wisely. Let's just look at this experience as an object lesson in the old saying, "You can't believe everything you read on the Internet." After all, that's how World War I got started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickzips Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 If Ennis is ended totally out of the picture, then we DEFINITLY need to fill his spot with another PG. Next years team is really only going to have one PG on it, Abreu. Hopefully Dylan comes back around to the Zips, because I think he could make a dynamic 1-2 punch with Abreu, but if not there are some other options out there for us. Personally I'd LOVE to have Stevie Taylor from Gahanna Lincoln. The kid has been tearing up the AAU circuit all summer, and he's hit a growth spurt that is making his diminuitive stature less of an issue. There is also Jehvon Clarke from Canton Timken, Nyles Evans from North Canton Hoover, Traevon Jackson from Westerville South, Trey Lewis from Garfield Heights and another favorite, Travis Trice from Wayne High School in Dayton.
