Ummm, wasn't this Antino's last year of eligibility? As such, I don't get the "entering the NBA draft" thing. I like Antino, but I think he's going right after LiAngelo Ball in the NBA draft. I hope the Sports Law Group has connections with GMs in Turkey. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if he's entering the draft to build a relationship and connect with LiAngelo Ball, to get to know his dad, who is a self-proclaimed big time GM in Europe? In all seriousness, entering the draft is smart. You get to play against better competition, go through some rigorous training, and develop excellent connections I presume. Odds are he wouldn't make it, but he'll build the relationships necessary to be successful overseas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned the Antino is entering the NBA draft and that "major moves" coming soon. and now his icon is a pic of a husky dog. University of Washington? I am entering the draft too. I am 5-8 200# and 69 years old. I have as good a chance of being drafted as Antino. Maybe a better chance, I will work for less. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewbrooman1 Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Since it is the Women's Final Four tonight, I'd like to touch on the Zips women's team briefly. I've been wondering if anyone has heard anything about Jodi Kest's contract status. From what I can find this was the last year of her 5 year contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when are the deadlines for recruits to make their moves and others to possibly transfer. I'm thinking there are no other guys leaving at this point?

Let'sGoZips94 Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) Not surprised. He always looked uncomfortable. Good luck to him!

Blue & Gold Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Good luck, Torrey, and thank you for your year in blue & gold! Like everyone else, I'm sure, I'm not surprised by this. This is a good move for Torrey. He most likely wasn't going to see a lot of PT next year. When I would toy around with hypothetical lineups, he was always the odd-man-out. PG: Jackson........??? 2G: Ivey................ Toles...........Hester W: Utomi..............Parrish PF: Sayles...........Poke C: Riak.................K-lac We really need another PG next year.

zippy5 Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 We're going to be good. I don't see Hester as being 3rd string by any means. I'm expecting a grad transfer in at PG again, but we'll see 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like he's just waiting and hoping one of the top players leave so he can have a headline "Zips in Disarray." Torrey and Sina are natural departures.

akronzips71 Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Another season of guys who never played together. I have to be Debbie Downer on this one. Unless Groce can score a GOOD big man and a starting PG we will look back on this one as a good year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
