I had no idea CJ was voted as a captain. Best of luck to him.

Losing a team captain has to be a devastating loss for the program. I just hope it doesn't have a ripple effect on the women's swim team.

Heard he is going to Mount Union with his younger brother.

Heard that the Zips may have a walk-on replacement for Oldham -- Darius Hoisten, a 6-5 forward out of Garfield HS. Hoisten averaged 17 points and 10 rebounds a game his senior season. Don't know anything about him other than that he has been seen in open practices with the Zips. If true, welcome aboard, Darius!

C J ended up at Gannon.

We used to play them back when we were a Div II independent.

They were usually pretty good.

I used to live in Erie and Gannon is a decent D2 school, member of the PSAC. They made a nice run a few year back and I believe they were close to the final 4. Jodi Kest actually coached their women's team before being hired by UA.

Similar to the commuter school UA used to be, just about 1/5 the size. You really don't get a sense of being on campus, just seemed like a few buildings mixed in with normal downtown businesses. Small gym that seats about 3000, but are usually one of the top 1-2 teams in the conference as far as attendance.

Good link to the Gannon athletic web page, but I don't see any evidence that CJ has transferred there.

[Dave in Green]

I can't find any internet reference to CJ transferring to Gannon. If it's not on the internet, it can't be true.

[FromdaBurgh]

Welp family....It's TRUE! CJ is no longer a Zip! Moved out his room this past weekend and Yes he is going to Gannon! *sigh*

[Spin]

Hmmm, CJ Oldham or Pat Forsythe?

I think I take my chances with Forsythe...

Ha!

CJ probably isn't listed on Gannon's roster since he hasn't set foot in a class there, same as our "new" young man".

In addition, his name may not appear on their roster because it's LAST YEAR'S roster.

I guess technically the news was on the internet the instant Hilltopper posted it here. Congrats to Hilltopper for breaking the news, and thanks to GameChngr44 for confirming.

[taxpayer]

CJ it appears you won't be suiting up for UA this year.....therefore, thank you for being such a nice young man and representing your family and UA so well. Best of luck to you and thanks!
