That's the lone trail of smoke around this one. Rasheed Bello on the other hand... Just by going off evidence I've seen, I would venture to guess that Groce/Ford gave him a call to gauge his interest/their interest and that's about where the connection went flat. But he could announce later he's a Zip. Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZIPS96 Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 I’m assuming Hankerson approved his culture fit with us. Should be a solid player off the bench 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoZips4824 Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 Really enjoy this pick up, always a fan of a pass first guard that can get the offense going. Just glancing at his numbers throughout his career he got better in pretty much every category, averaging over 5 assists at the college level is impressive (Top 30 nationally) and even more so at NIU. Not THE guy but will be a damn good building block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 Does Groce need to apologize when the Zips acquire another MAC player? Are we becoming NIU's "Marshall?" Or do the Huskies just figure "He's going to transfer anyhow...might as well be to a MAC program"? Solid, but not spectacular offensive numbers. A 1-ish points less than Hankerson...a couple more assists...35% from behind the arc. Definitely a step or two above Clarke...an overall "wash" as a Hankerson replacement? Gives us some versatility and depth. Wish it were more of a "splash" guy, but I'll take a 5th year baller like him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWAkron Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 Question: when does the transfer portal usually heat up and when does it shut down. Not much happening at other MAC schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's damn impressive. He was only at the JUCO for one season, and was immediately eligible at NIU, so his HS grades were fine. I'd guess his HS recruitment was light in part due to an injury?

Blue & Gold Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 Since we're playing this game 😂 A Sea of Blue - Chris Livingston trending toward departure from UK Basketball, per report The article says his representative, Klutch Sports, really wants him to declare for the NBA draft. I'm a Livingston fan, but I definitely think he could use another year of working on his game before going pro. At Kentucky he was... decent. I watched a handful of Kentucky games & could tell he wasn't happy. Come home, Chris! 🙏🙏🙏 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
