We can thank the US Supreme Court for this.

Miryne Thomas from Ball State is headed to Portage County

 

That is one heck of a get for PCCC. Wow. Pinky is such a great coach, I'm sure he'll be able to elevate Thomas's game even more.

 

In all seriousness, can this guy rap? His stats aren't much to look at but maybe he'll bring some pop with his vocals on their next diss track.

Kent definitely needed a big to neutralize Freeman given the abuse Freeman put on them last season. Fortunately for us Thomas isn't that player.

Anderson Mirambeaux (sp?) is transferring from CSU to Miami(OH).

Here's hoping he's just as successful as our Ball State transfer.

 

DaeDae Grant headed to KD.

PCCC did sign a small forward, Chris Payton, who's tape unfortunately caught my eye. He's quite athletic. Verbal Commits Chris Payton

 

He's a transfer from Pitt.  

 

In keeping with rich and long standing KSUcks tradition, who wants to bet he's a punk?

I really thought we would land him. This stinks.

[AkronAlumnus]

I like Mouhamed Gueye from Washington State. Not saying we could land him, but if we could we would be care free heading into next season. 

[AkronAlumnus]

Matthew Mayer is another player in the transfer portal I would be beyond ecstatic if we pursued. 

[AkronAlumnus]

Hell even Pete Nance would be a blessing at this point

How would you compare his right cross to Khadim Gueye's?

Lemme loop in Mark Kostelac. He knows all about Khadim's right cross.

I would be extremely happy with either: 

 

- Pete Nance - 45.2%

- Matt Mayor - 32.4%

- KJ Williams - 32.7%

- Patrick Baldwin Jr - 26.6%

-Jaiden Delaire - 32.3%

 

All can play the 4, all can shoot the 3 ball

247 has him in the transfer portal

[Blue & Gold]

I'm jonesing for any updates whatsoever

 

 

 

And, btw, Pete Nance would be a fantastic get and perfect fit.  Maybe he'd like to come home & play in front of friends and family while picking up a master's? 🙏🤞

The summer of '09, Pete and Larry Jr. participated in the Akron summer basketball camp. Larry Jr. was noticably on a different level than his age group (high school), and Pete was the same way (elementary school?). One of the nicest families you'll ever come across. Had the pleasure of actually playing on Larry Jr.'s 3 on 3 team (we won the camp tournament), and they trained at Springside where I took tennis lessons so I ran into them quite often. Would love to see one of the Nance boys wear the Akron Blue & Gold.

If the hope is landing Pete Nance, I'm sorry to tell you you're going to be left disappointed. I wouldn't be surprised if 20 P6 coaches have already reached out to him.

Nance declared for the NBA draft and entered the portal.  That's an arrangement that leaves all options open to him.  It allows him to get all kinds of input on his game and what the NBA thinks of him while leaving the door open to return to Northwestern or move on to another school if he thinks it is in his best interests.  I would love to see him in a Zips uni but the guy averaged 14.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game while earning All-Big Ten Honorable Mention last year.  He's not coming to Akron.

Aziz, heading to Utah Valley.  
that is all

 

[VAZip]

At what point should there be concern that the open slots aren’t being filled from the portal?
