tpsjugglerdude Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 18 hours ago, Illini Zip said: I think Groce will continue to recruit high school players while also keeping a certain percentage of the roster for senior transfers. So there will still be some GT types that go the distance. Just not full recruiting classes like before. I agree that this makes maintaining a culture far more difficult. I'm curious how much of our high school recruiting strategy is based on making contact with players who we know are not going to come to Akron out of high school, but will potentially be in the portal in a year or two and we want them to already be familiar with Akron. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Hard to pass up a chance to be a Paladin (what the hell is a paldain?). Maybe they offered his uncle a bench job. According to Wikipedia, The Paladins, also called the Twelve Peers, are twelve legendary knights, the foremost members of Charlemagne's court in the 8th century. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Looks like Bowen Hartman from OSU has committed to us. Didn’t play much, but shot 44% from 3 last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Pure sniper. Very natural, quick release. Absolutely huge get to complete the puzzle. We have our team. On paper, it's the best in the MAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illini Zip Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Sniper yes, but he’s not 7 foot. I protest!! I kid. Very good. I will update the scholarship chart on Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpsjugglerdude Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Sounds like a great pick up! 11 of 25 from 3 is a small sample size, but I’ll gladly take a 44% three point shooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illini Zip Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 I’ll tell you what makes me all warm inside. Improved shooting from deep gives the MAC refs less opportunity to manage the game. Oh, don’t get me wrong they will try…but they will fail. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72 Roo Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 I agree that Hardman is a good addition. It will take him time to learn what Groce's defense is all about. Still Groce would not have recruited him if he didn't think Bowen could learn to play defense the way we he coaches. I also agree with fellow posters who want another big. That is absolutely essential if we are going to into the second round of playoffs as Bud has stated as our goal. Keep the program progressing.

clarkwgriswold Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 I've been watching some of the NFL draft and the portal is showing up there in that there are a number of players whose highlights are from more that one team. Just saw a DB who had highlights playing for Alabama and Oregon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsrowdy88 Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 When would we ever complain about more shooting? Does anyone have that scholarship chart handy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Paladin was a hired gun and I'm sure Jalen received more NIL from Furman than Kent was willing to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akzipper Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 So in a rebuilding year the Zips added two transfers from WVU, one from NC, one from OSU and another from Cornell. While also bringing in the top high school basketball player in the state of West Virginia? I'm so ready for this. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
