csims0917 Posted October 23 Report Posted October 23 Happy he gets another bag. Hope him and Eric do well. Cinci loves taking Akron bigs Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted October 23 Report Posted October 23 Cincy has 14 transfers including 3 MAC guys in Calhoun's first year. Very curious to see how Eric and Amani do in Big12 play. 1 Quote

Very curious to see how Eric and Amani do in Big12 play. I personally think Amani has a chance to make a name for himself this season at Cincy. He showed he could play against P4 size in our tournament game and I imagine Cincy will utilize him in his more natural PF position. Eric I'm guessing will be a piece off the bench this upcoming season, but has the skill set to develop into something special with time. 1 Quote

phil Posted October 29 Report Posted October 29 I am happy that Scott is in the G league but confused why he did not sign for more money with a college program. The G league pays their players $45,000 for a 6 month season. Amani Lyles signed with Cinn and I am sure he received more than $45,000. I thought Scott would find another college program that would pay him more than the G league. This eligibility issue is tough to follow but if Lyles has an extra year so would Scott. Quote

Scott is part of a different high school graduating class. He graduated in 2021 while Lyles and Evan geaduated in 2022. He already played 5 years. 1 year of JUCO and 4 years of D1. Evan and Lyles only played 4. 1 Quote

Zippy87 Posted October 31 Author Report Posted October 31 It's pretty exciting that we have three former Zips active in the G League right now - Enrique Freeman (Iowa/Minnesota), Shammah Scott (Texas/Dallas), and Nate Johnson (OKC). The Charge host Iowa on 11/17 and 11/28. It would be cool if we can get a big Akron contingent up there to cheer him on. 5 Quote
Zippy87 Posted Tuesday at 04:59 PM Author Report Posted Tuesday at 04:59 PM Eric (13 minutes) and Amani (8 minutes) came off the bench last night for Cincinnati. Tavari started for Charleston, with 4 points and 7 assists in 20 minutes. Sharron had 13 and 6 in 23 minutes off the bench for WKU. 1 1 Quote

I did not understand him transferring to a CUSA school, and to come off the bench doesn’t make a whole lot of sense 1 Quote

Akron wanted him back, but not at the price he was asking. WKU either had more money or viewed him more highly than we did so were willing to pay more. I think we came out just fine with Oriol and Steveskie instead. Edited Thursday at 01:56 AM by kreed5120 1 Quote
Zippy87 Posted 9 hours ago Author Report Posted 9 hours ago Shammah Scott did not make the Texas Legends' final G League roster. He is now a free agent. Enrique Freeman was waived by Minnesota and is a free agent as well. Nate Johnson made the OKC Blue G League roster. 1 Quote
