gczip22 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 the last scholarship for 11-12 has been filled...without releasing the name, he is a 6'7 forward from Cleveland...and a nice surprise he will be on campus this fall...I would assume the name will come out when classes begin Aug. 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so that news broke months ago. He's greyshirting this year to work on academics and hopefully become eligible in 2011-12. If this is who you are refering to we still have one scholarship left to use on a PG. If you are refering to someone else I am honestly quite puzzled. We have a wealth of forwards on the team in the long term with Gilliam, Diggs, Egner, Green, Euton, Cvetinovic and Harney and are glarringly thin at PG. I suppose if we are talking about a stud like Jakarr Sampson (who is from the Cleveland area despite attending St.V's in Akron) or Anton Grady from Central Catholic it would make some sense, but we would probably need to pull a scholarship from someone else in order to make room for a PG then.

Dave in Green Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 No doubt the Zips are set to be deep in forwards and shooting guards for 2011-12, and that's a good thing. As things stand now UA will be shallow in the middle, with Zeke being the only true C on the roster. Assuming he will be playing long minutes by then, a PF can fill in at backup C. More concerning is that Abreu would be the only PG. Even if Abreu turns out to be brilliant and capable of playing long minutes, there would be no one else on the team with PG experience. So without another PG, a SG would have to fill in as a backup. Don't even think of the chaos if Abreu should suffer any kind of injury! Beyond that, Abreu has yet to play his first college game. None of us really knows how good he's going to be. It's simply unthinkable for the Zips to be planning a 2011-12 season with only one unproven PG on the roster. Something is going to happen to ensure that there are at least two PGs on the roster for 2011-12. But this discussion really belongs in the basketball recruiting forum.

ZachTheZip Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 If they're on campus this fall, it would be someone who graduated in 2010, right? Unless there is a way for them to attend some classes at UA while remaining in High School (UA has a program like that but I forget what it's called). If he's from the 2010 class, he's not listed on any recruiting service unless there's been a decommit from some other school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the Zips basketball team, I'm liking the way Dambrot is recruiting. Sounds like size and athleticism is a heavy goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 That's it. Post-secondary. It is a great program. Lots of HS students don't take advantage of it because they don't want to leave their friends for half a day or take the plunge into campus life early, while they could get two or three semesters worth of credits out of the way for free. Still, I wish we knew who it was. I can wait until the 23rd to find out, but if it's still a secret after then I hope someone figures out who it is.

Kid is from the Cleveland area, has Big East talent, is 6'7", unsigned and is already registered for classes. Yet nobody on any of the three major recruiting services fit the criteria. I don't buy it. I'll gladly eat my fair share of crow if I have to later on, but this just doesn't smell right. Especially from someone who just registered this morning.

Dave in Green Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Don't go away upset, gczip22. If you frequent internet forums, you know it's full of both inadvertent and deliberate misinformation. I seriously doubt that you believe rumors posted by people you don't know when there's no credible independent verification. Likewise I'm sure you aren't so naive as to expect everyone to accept your first post on ZN.O as gospel. You might have posted some really good info. But there's no way of knowing just yet, so everyone has to analyze what you've posted and make their best estimate as to how accurate it is. You probably do the same every day on other forums. Natually we all hope you're right. Big East quality players rarely make it to the MAC, and all Zips fans would welcome one at UA. But there is also cause for skepticism as a Big East quality HS player from Cleveland would not likely be totally unknown to everyone here. Anyway, most of the current forum members appreciate new forum members who try to contribute good information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue & Gold Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 So assuming this is true, that means Dylan Ennis is a no-go, right? Consequently, (not that it can't be done) this would mean that, as our roster currently stands, we're going to make a go of it with only 1 true PG on the team for the next couple of years?

ZachTheZip Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 I don't think gczip22 would come here and create an account just to screw with us. One way you can help your case is to tell us which year he graduated from high school. 2010? 2011? Something else? Just something to narrow it down a little bit.

Dave in Green Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Great find, Hilltopper. From Demetrius Treadwell's Twitter account (Tall_ass_tree): On my way to Akron for this orientation And gczip22 wasn't kidding about the potential talent level: High Major Scoop Link Willoughby News-Herald Link No wonder he was off the radar with his poor academic record that kept him from playing basketball for his first three years of HS. But what a turnaround in attitude, and what a work ethic. He has turned around his life from being a high risk character to someone who really has a chance to succeed in life. He'll get all the support he needs at UA from KD, his staff, and the team. Great story. This could be a big one for the Zips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
