Hilltopper Posted December 18, 2013 Report Posted December 18, 2013 Q is now an official graduate of the University of Akron. All his hard work last season to stay eligible was worth it. Congrats Q! Quote
taxpayer Posted December 18, 2013 Report Posted December 18, 2013 Good job Q! After all, an education lasts a life time while an athletic career has a limited time frame. Glad to see the Zips continuing to graduate their players! Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted December 18, 2013 Report Posted December 18, 2013 Well done, Quincy! I enjoyed hearing him talk with Frenchy after the ORU game. While I was researching ORU's season, I stumbled upon an interesting (to me) tidbit. Quincy was allowed to transfer to UA from UNO without sitting out since the Privateers had decided to drop to D-III in hoops in the wake of Katrina. Who knew UNO would soon eventually reconsider and go BACK to D-I, landing in the Southland Conference where, you guessed it, ORU also resides? Quote
zippy5 Posted December 18, 2013 Report Posted December 18, 2013 Awesome. When I see threads titled after a player I start to fear the worst now, so this was welcome news. Congrats! Quote
MaxZIP Posted December 18, 2013 Report Posted December 18, 2013 Took guts and drive to work his way back. Nice work! Quote
Dave in Green Posted December 18, 2013 Report Posted December 18, 2013 I've been watching Q pretty closely on court, and he's truly a changed man. I recall how he used to have a quick temper, and wouldn't hesitate to jump in the face of an opposing player or even a ref after a questionable call. Now he channels all of that emotion into positive energy to drive his game to a new level. I've seen him on several occasions get a really questionable call from a ref, and he just walks away expressionless -- no scowling, no shaking of the head, no sign that he was disappointed with the call. On the free throw line he's now calm and cool. Two seasons ago he shot 68.7%, and this season he's hitting 81.5% of his free throws. I'm just really impressed with his maturity level. I have no doubt that Q will be successful in whatever he pursues in life going forward. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted December 18, 2013 Report Posted December 18, 2013 Quincy - "Wherever you're going, you can get there from the University of Akron" Your first Lot 9 beer as an alumni is on me, in Lot 9 next fall. Maybe a Dixie Blackend Voodoo Lager? Congrats, Q! Quote
GP1 Posted December 18, 2013 Report Posted December 18, 2013 Well done....It's never to early to start contributing to the Foundation. Quote
LZIp Posted December 18, 2013 Report Posted December 18, 2013 Congrats to Quincy. Anyone know what he majored in? Quote
Z.I.P. Posted December 19, 2013 Report Posted December 19, 2013 I'm thinking that about now, Quincy's hometown Wichita State WheatShockers truly wish they had some of Q's tools on their side! Quincy is a fine representative of Zips Nation. Quote
Dave in Green Posted December 19, 2013 Report Posted December 19, 2013 Q's profile on GoZips.com says he majored in sports management. He may be managing his own sports career in pro basketball if he keeps playing as well as he is right now. Quote
akronzips71 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Posted December 19, 2013 Q's profile on GoZips.com says he majored in sports management. He may be managing his own sports career in pro basketball if he keeps playing as well as he is right now. Even on the crappy MAC feed he looks like he has pro moves and speed. He really flies down the court. Quote
