*Their entire team. 

 

All of their top production is in the Portal. 

[Blue & Gold]

Would you guys say the dynamic here purely financial?  Are all of these players that unhappy with their current situation?

[zippy5]

Have any of them signed anywhere else yet?

Are there any records on what NIL teams are offering?  Public? Private?

I assume that’s the combination of all sports?

Yes please. Here's his highlight real. NAIA and stats aren't the full story. This dude is a FORCE. 6'8", very physical, and an in-game dunk contest winner. Groce & co. will coach up all the fundamentals. Get this guy in the Akron Blue & Gold.

I'd much rather take a shot on a player like this than taking a veteran role player like Thornton. Lower floor but higher ceiling.

Looks like a hell of an athlete. Would like to see more against Kentucky.

There is no floor lower than what was set by our two NIU transfers thus far.

More film* against Kentucky who it looked like they played.
 

Incredibly athletic. Would like to see if he showed some flashes against top level talent.

I thought Hankerson was fine. Not a bust, not a star, but solid player in his role. I believe his stats went up here vs NIU.

 

Thornton definitely more disappointing.

Negative. Hankerson was a double digit scorer at NIU - 9.1 PPG at Akron.

I thought Thornton was a bust.  He shot less than 50% from the line, could not create his own shot, could not drive to the basket, and did not have an outside shot.

That's because at NIU he was the #2 scoring option. At Akron he was relegated to being a distant #3 option as he had 2 All-MAC players ahead of him in the pecking order.

 

If you have the ball in your hands less and you take fewer shots, naturally you're going to score less. At Akron he was pretty much asked to be a 3 & D role player. That's the role he filled. I wasn't necessarily thrilled with his performance here, but we pretty much got what we recruited.

Go get him, Groce!
