NWAkron Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 16 minutes ago, 72 Roo said: The results of this Day of Giving are skewed. No contributions to any sports NIL collective are counted. No membership in the Summit Group ($25,000 committed over five years) are counted. The results are not a dire as would be surmised on first inspection. Would we like to see more from the general public? Absolutely yes! But things need to be taken in perspective. Likely most of the continuing donors don't wait until the day of giving to "give." they give throughout the year or maybe in a big chunk at end of year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did his best work with the soccer team.In MAC basketball he was serviceable. I attended the NCAA basketball tournament in Pittsburgh the other schools were way more physically developed than Akron.So donations are needed. Not one Zip is out of shape. under 15% body fat. And I don't think Campbell has been working with the basketball team for last few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illini Zip Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 I look at some of these teams/players and have to wonder if steroids are involved. And if so, how prevalent is it across college basketball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monrowe Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 Mr.Campbell, oversees all aspects of the strength and conditioning program servicing all 17 intercollegiate sports while working directly with the men’s soccer and men’s basketball programs. He also manages three athletics’ weight rooms. Also the NCAA tests for steroids, peptide hormones and masking agents year-round and also tests for stimulants and recreational drugs during championships.

clarkwgriswold Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 Other than a kid coming off of an injury like Nate was late in the season, I don't see any Akron kids looking winded or struggling with their hands on their knees. Watch a Zips practice and you'll see Groce working their ***es off. They're not less muscular or physical than their MAC counterparts. Their rebounding and defensive stats are evidence of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they've had some open pre-season events in recent years. Also, we see clips through the Zips sites. The last one was right before they left for their pre-season play. They had a breakfast for fans, followed by a practice then a send off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a strength and conditioning issue, but I also don't think we had much of an answer for Kalkbrenner. It's easy to see why he won Big East DPOY. He only was credited with 3 blocks, but he disrupted every shot within 5 feet of the basket. Edited April 19 by kreed5120 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 Here's a little secret. P6 body types are usually going to be a little bigger that MAC body types. The LCJs and Alis of the world don't get pursued by the P6 programs out of high school. They look for top skills and body types. I'm sure Creighton's torrid shooting had everything to do with the weight room at Creighton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Creighton's torrid shooting had everything to do with the weight room at Creighton. Ali had more to do with how raw he was as a player. A 6'8 wing is big even by P6 standards. I do think you will see more and more of those big sized developmental players trickle down to the mid-majors. It doesn't make sense for an Iowa State or Northwestern to take a flyer on developing a player for 2-3 years when they can just go buy a proven contributor from Kent, Akron, Toledo, etc. The MAC is the AAA farm system now. We both develop the players and now take the guys who are being sent back down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the 7'1" Big East Defensive POTY is certainly going to help give you an advantage on the boards. Strength & conditioning had nothing to do with Kalkbrenner's height. Want to know what helps more? Defensive rebounding opportunities. Akron had 9 offensive rebounds to Creighton's 5. Akron had 17 defensive rebounds to Creighton's 33. When Creighton doesn't miss, there are going to be fewer opportunities. When we miss a ton, Creighton is gonna have more opportunities. The only thing exposed that game was us sucking eggs shooting wise, and Creighton had an all-time shooting game. Had Creighton shot a solid 40% from 3 (above national average), Akron would've had a good chance at winning that game.

Hilltopper Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Tim Campbell hasn't been the strength coach for MBB for several years no matter what his outdated bio says. Also, please don't feed the trolls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 To the people on here complaining about the amount of money raised by MBB on the day of giving, I will say the following. You can be part of the problem or you can be part of the solution. Every donation, no matter how big or small will help further the program. Put your money where your mouth is. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
