NWAkron Posted May 5, 2023 Report Posted May 5, 2023 I admire the level of care taken to bring in these 3 players. Laser focused. 1 Quote

As NWAkron’s unofficial PR manager, I believe he means that Prince Mosengo, Kobe Mitchell, and Garvin Clarke were turned into Kaleb Thornton, Shammah Scott, and Ali Ali. That is certainly an impressive upgrade. 5 Quote

This is a cultivated group filling out the roster. @LoyalZIPsaid it much better. 2 Quote
Valpo Zip Posted May 5, 2023 Report Posted May 5, 2023 I know it is only May, but I have never been that excited about a Zips team since Zeke Marshall's senior year. If things go well, this team is built for winning NCAA games. 2 Quote

He is living proof that you can stare down these weapons of sports marketing war, and not be deterred from sporting events. Bud Light's Real Men of Genius recognized the inventor of the t-shirt cannon, but it's people like NWAkron who are the Real Men." 1 Quote

GoZips86 Posted May 5, 2023 Report Posted May 5, 2023 Ali Ali coming back may be as big of a story as LeBron returning to Cleveland a few years ago. Dare I say maybe even bigger?!? (Yes, thats a joke, guys!) Quote
1981 grad Posted May 5, 2023 Report Posted May 5, 2023 It will be interesting to see if a year in the Big East has made Ali into a better player. I also wonder if the coach at Butler told Ali to leave or if he decided to leave on his own volition. Quote

Dare I say maybe even bigger?!? (Yes, thats a joke, guys!) If I was good at photoshop, I'd photoshop Ali in this. A day later and I'm still stoked. Akron is returning 4 out of their top 5 scorers from a team that was 2 minutes away from knocking off a really great UCLA team. Castaneda is gone, but Freeman is a more polished post scorer than he was then. This team also has significantly more depth so I think we'll see a much more aggressive style of defensive play. I'm not sure I've ever been this hyped in the offseason for an Akron team. 3 Quote
