LZIp Posted June 22, 2017 Report Posted June 22, 2017 An interesting landing spot for Mr. Jackson. Good luck to him. 1 Quote
72 Roo Posted June 23, 2017 Report Posted June 23, 2017 He didn't upgrade. I think this is a win-win for both him and our progrum. He was not going to give us much. Good luck Aaron. Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Posted June 23, 2017 So we traded him for their 4-Star recruit Center? I'll take that trade. 3 Quote
Zipsbabie Posted June 23, 2017 Report Posted June 23, 2017 Dang Riak is 6'10 and averaged 3.2 pts not that great of a trade if you ask me. Quote

He also was a redshirt Freshman, and averaged 5.2 rebounds per game. It doesn't take Nostradamus to foresee he's got upside far beyond Aaron Jackson. Put me down as a supporter of "great trade." 5 Quote

It wouldn't be the first time that some people on this forum got enamored about a newcomer, before he even puts on an Akron uniform. It seems to especially happen with the front court guys. Maybe it's just the hope that the next Tree or Romeo just stepped onto our campus. For example, just look up some of the before-floor-time comments on this forum about some guys named Swiech, Bardo, Egner, or Euton. The truth is that it's anyone's guess, although coaches tend to take bigger risks on guys with size. Quote
zippy5 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Posted June 23, 2017 I don't think anyone's really been over the top with him.. the comment that started it was "I'll take that trade." Nothing against Aaron, he was a great teammate, but that's a pretty low bar to clear. 1 Quote

Consider the source. When you go back and do what you suggest, you will find it's a very very small amount of ZN, if any. Additionally, I don't read anyone predicting double doubles. Quote
kreed5120 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Posted June 23, 2017 In this case I've seen what Aaron Jackson could do for 3 years at Akron and the only thing I was impressed by was his character.I don't know if Riak will be better or not, but I'd gladly trade the known in Aaron Jackson (a huge liability when on the court) with the unknown player in Riak who has potential. 5 Quote
akronzips71 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Posted June 23, 2017 I recall Bardo had a pretty darn good senior year. Helped us to win a lot. Quote

akronzips71 Posted June 26, 2017 Report Posted June 26, 2017 Louisville? Somehow I don't think this is the year we want to play Louisville. Quote

kreed5120 Posted June 27, 2017 Report Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) We should have I believe 3 tough games in the Maui Invitational and play what should be an okay Marshall team. Have any other games been announced? Edited June 27, 2017 by kreed5120 Quote

My BS Meter is off the charts with this one. It seems to be in sync with our toxicity level. Or is Duquesne the toxic team now? Quote

UAZippers Posted July 8, 2017 Report Posted July 8, 2017 Congrats to Noah. He gets to head home and play for a great team. Seems like the ideal outcome for him. 1 Quote
