AkronAlumnus Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) Yeah there is no immediate concern though once we pick our last two guys the sooner they get to campus and jelling w/ the rest of the team the better.

It will be interesting to see how Aziz develops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see how Aziz develops. Obviously you have a negative view of UVU and the WAC. I think UVU was a great choice for both Olojapoke and Bandaogo. Much more diverse student body at a much larger university than Akron. One of the fastest growing universities in America. Campus buildings and athletic facilities are newer than UA and located in one of the fastest growing states in our country. Good luck to Aziz for future success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 Interesting read here interviewing current coaches (including our old friend Bob Huggins) on why they transferred back in their day and their thoughts on the current situation- https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/33971293/current-men-college-basketball-coaches-why-transferred-players 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1981 grad Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 I am assuming that is all sports. Of the 4 Akron players who entered the portal, I think they all have landed except for Wynn. Other than Ali, does anyone think the other Akron players who transferred out were told that it was in their best interest to transfer out. I think the portal works both ways in that coaches can tell a player to enter the portal and find another team and they will not have to sit a year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Pete Nance is headed to North Carolina. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
