Apart from the Ball State exodus, no notable players are leaving their programs. And I don't see any openings for the Zips. AHA, it's your fault. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z.I.P. Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 I just looked at Gozips.com MBB 22-23 roster. The 9 remaining. The additions won't go up till start of the school year, BUT... Nate Johnson and Kobe Mitchell are both listed as sophomores. What's up with that? Neither played at all as true frosh. No red shirts?

Either poor attention to detail on the behalf of UA, or they had bad grades…which would be surprising. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue & Gold Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 @Illini Zip, Amani Lyles looks like he's going to be taking Wynn's roster spot. Yesterday Amani's verbal commitment was announced by UA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1981 grad Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 Anyone else surprised that our last 2 recruits are coming out of high school and not the transfer portal. I am not being critical but I do not think that Groce has a high school recruit that has stayed the full 4 years. I think that Groce recruits athletes that he thinks are coachable, will work hard, and will play defense. Looking forward to next season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoyalZIP Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 That's just a byproduct of the transfer portal. These guys were severely under-recruited so it has worked into Groce's advantage. These two additions are very exciting. It'll be interesting to see what this rotation turns into. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 When the market zigs, some successful people zag. Groce zagged. This could pay off greatly. This roster matches what he had at OU for his 3 NCAA Tourney wins. Guard heavy with a shorter but more athletic front court. Spread the floor, run em, and play stone cold Z Fence. Akron athletics is setting up to be incredible starting in August. Time to run the MAC. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) I don't believe I've seen this mentioned (including in the GoZips.com news release), but Amani was 1st-Team D-II All-Ohio, averaging 20.6 PPG.

Did I miss some kind of NCAA penalty against the Zips? Why are we down to eleven scholarships for 2024-2025 and only seven for 2025-2026? Whatever it was, it must have been pretty serious.
