That can work both ways. Duquesne has a young guard of their own that has shown he can perform at the A-10 level. He was pretty much playing all but 2-3 minutes of each game down the stretch. If anything that argument would work against Duquesne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mes102 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) I see that Collins and Poke are following each other on twitter and someone mentioned about Patton and Collins following each other, so....

LZIp Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) I was curious about us actually beating out Duquesne so I took a look at their message board. According to that Pittsburgh site that broke the news, there is one scholly open (even though the fans don't know who/why). Was that offer from Duquesne still acceptable for Patton? I don't know. But if we get Collins then there seems to be a solid chance that atleast one of the offers were acceptable, meaning we beat out KD. Duquense also has 4(!) schollies used up this season on players who will not be playing. Yikes. Considering the mass exodus of MAC talent, any bets that Akron won't have a better year than the Dukes?

We have basically a clean slate here, and that's more enticing to recruits than not sure where you might be in year 2 of your college basketball career. I'm glad you picked up on that "clean slate" idea. That's why I brought that up as something that could be helping us, a few posts before the one you replied to. Of course, having so many spots available is probably never really a good thing in the short term, but it surely could have its pluses when you are retooling (that's right...I still hate the idea of using "rebuilding") And I've been saying all along that Keith might be hurting himself by filling up some of those spots on his roster so quickly. 25 minutes ago, Captain Kangaroo said: 1.) He's a #2 guard and not a PG 2.) If he wants to attend a school where his teammates stink, so he can get get a ton of playing time, he probably shouldn't choose Akron. Unfortunately for us, the way he sees it is the only one that counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akronzips71 Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 And now for the really big question: Can he hit a foul shot once in a while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Torrey Patton scored 21, had 4 assists and was named MVP of the Ohio High School Basketball Coaches Association North-South Division I-II Boys All-Star Game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I'm hoping that he's one of those guys who is just starting to escalate his offensive game at the end of his high school career, and will end up being a real steal for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippyfan34 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I hope he is working on conditioning and how to play defense without fouling. Given the current player personnel, he is going to be needed to play 40 minutes a game next year while a couple of the transfers have to sit out. Would be nice if we had a Malcolm Walters-type walk-on that we could steal 5 minutes a game from when needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kangaroo Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 Torrey poured in 25 points in a recent CSU win over YSU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Torrey was big help in getting Zips to the Q Groces first year. He and that walk on (great guy. Forget his name) saved the Zips that year from total humiliation. And tonight, Torrey scored the last 5 points including a 3 pointer with 6 seconds left to give CSU a win on the road at Milwaukee. Vikings and Dru Joyce will make the Horizon League Tournament (partially because Detroit Mercy is on academic suspension). But this win sealed it for them legitimately.
