As a freshmen he was playing 14.6 m/g. Last season he played 12.4 m/g. This season he's down to 5.4 and hasn't even appeared in the Zips last 2 games. Unlike some other Zips transfers who really weren't good enough to play D1 basketball, I could see Sayles being a meaningful contributor on an America East caliber team. I agree that Sayles has been a good team player in that he has not played the last 2 games. However, he got significant playing time against Eastern Michigan and was in the lineup at the end of the game. He has lost some weight and put on some muscle. It looks like he has bought into the Groce program and I think he will stay if Groce wants him to stay. Since we are losing Riak that means that Sayles has an opportunity to get more minutes next year. He just needs to work on his game. When he has been playing he is playing with more intensity that last year. You just wonder how his career might have been without the injuries.

He was very confident his freshman year up until his injury. It's a shame. I think he stays as well, because this is the first year he has been healthy and his development should take a leap heading into next year. The speed of the game takes a while to catch up on, and that seems to be his biggest setback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 He and Riak have the same issue on rebounding - they slap at the ball instead of grabbing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigzip1 Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Any opinions on 6’9 F from Centerville OH Mo Njie? In state kid still available and we really need some size. Holds a couple offers from bigger programs like Xavier and UD. Have to think he’s a top target for John Groce and staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Like I always say: SIZE DOES NOT MATTER Of course, it does. We could be one big away from another spectacular season. We look to be fairly long, but REALLY need that GOOD 6'11 guy in the middle. It would make a huge difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreed5120 Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 I know nothing of this kid from Centerville, but if Groce thinks he'd be a good fit and thinks there is enough mutual interest then sure go after him. That being said, as a true freshmen he wouldn't solve our immediate need at the 5 position. We need to land a JUCO or grad transfer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigzip1 Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 We offered him in may of last year. Heard he might be taking the post grad route I think the bigger schools have cooled down on him. Maybe would have been a impact freshman in the MAC mobile 6’9 - 6’10 can finish at the rim and has good defensive instincts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing. If this is accurate, the ability to add 2 more players to this squad would be incredibly beneficial. I feel like the 11 we have currently could win the MAC again, but to add anyone to that would be a massive bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZIPS96 Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 From Jeff Goodman- Sacred Heart transfer Cameron Parker (9.9 ppg, 7.8 apg) told me his finalists are FIU, Hawaii , Portland State, Montana and Akron.

I am fine with that but still need a big eligible to play this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
