2Ball Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 for Akron Zip basketball was released yesterday. And there was no mention of Nick Harney being on the team. And we are still one recruit over the limit, all other returnees where mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Ivey is going to be a Grey shirt. Harney is either transferring to a D2 or going pro overseas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 It's too bad, but something had to give. Best of luck to him wherever he ends up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I had been hearing for quite some time that he may not return, but had kept my mouth shut, hoping it would pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyzip84 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I had been hearing for quite some time that he may not return, but had kept my mouth shut, hoping it would pass. It's definitely been a badly kept secret, if you'd even call it that. I'd rather have him stay, but it's also not going to make or break the team. Good luck, Nick!

Quickzips Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Never been a big Harney fan, but I wish him the best of luck in whatever he decides to do next.Not a huge loss for the Zips. Nick had his moments here, but he never really did consistently put it all together. Just means more minutes opened up in the frontcourt for some of our younger guys.

UAZip0510 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 I think Harney was a pretty easy guess for who wouldn't be back, I just wasn't sure if he'd be the only one. Off-court issues and never really fulfilled his on-court potential. It's incredible how similar the situations of Harney/Treadwell were coming in and how different they are in now. Good decisions and bad decisions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 I wish him well, but I won't miss his 3-point shooting.Great opportunity for Cheatum, Jackson and Gladden to get some PT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 I'm still looking for the inaugural monthly newsletter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 When he was playing good, WE were VERY good. Unfortunately, it didn't happen nearly often enough. And on those off nights, it was frustratingly painful to watch. And it was even more frustrating to continue to hope that it would someday become more consistent.

Captain Kangaroo Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 If you'd have told me two years ago that Harney would leave the Zips after his Junior season, and that his departure would generate nothing more than a few short comments in a non-Harney thread, I would have said you're nuts.I really thought he could be something special. 20% of the time, he was.

Hilltopper Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Nick is a really personable kid. Always has a smile on his face and a happy attitude. He just doesn't have the focus needed to put all those physical skills to use on a consistent basis. I'm hoping that where ever he lands he uses those skills to make something out of his life.

Dave in Green Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Maybe a recent retweet on Nick's Twitter account sums it up:The hardest decision you’ll ever make: deciding when to stay and try harder or when to take your memories and walk away.I'll miss Nick the person more than Nick the player who occasionally tantalized Zips fans with spectacular moves only to leave us frustrated with a lack of intensity and consistency. My best basketball memory of Nick will always be the way he took over at the unlikely position of PG after Alex's unexpected departure and led the Zips to a huge MAC championship upset over the media darling defending Sweet 16 Kitties. Whatever his future in basketball might be, I'm really happy for him being able to pursue a college degree on scholarship at UA. I really hope he stays focused on earning that degree, which could serve him well long after his basketball playing days are over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infofan Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 How do we access this monthly newsletter? Was it on line or mailed out? Also, does anyone follow BJ Gladden on twitter? Did you see his comments today? Could he be the next to leave? He showed some good potential as a raw freshman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 I wouldn't have mentioned Nick's tweet if I thought it was going to make Zips fans paranoid about what other Zips players are tweeting. Anyone who follows the Twitter accounts of teenagers needs to take a deep breath and try to remember what was going through your head when you were a teenager.

We wouldn't have won it without him stepping up and into the PG role. Good luck to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave in Green Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 GoZips, as zippy5 said, you should see several buttons in the lower right corner of each post. The last button at the bottom right is the Quote button. If you click the Quote button of the post you want to reply to, it will automatically quote that post in your response.
