There's a rumor floating that there's a Big 10 big that could be on the way to the Zips. Austin Parks from Ohio State is my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one would say who, but hey said we are very close to getting him. Stay tuned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A chance at an actual starter big (combined with a lot of the returners we have) might have @NWAkron willing to stand directly in front of the T-shirt cannon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippy87 Posted March 20 Author Report Share Posted March 20 If everyone returns, we have two open scholarships with Wilson and Gray leaving. Okonkwo Lyles Harris N. Johnson T. Johnson Scott Hardman Young MMK Mahaffey Brisco Adding another big would definitely make sense. I'd guess at combo guard for the other spot.

But we have two high school seniors coming in next year (PG Tai Perkins & W Josh Henderson). So to add the B1G big would require one of the above to transfer out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call, I saw two open spots on @Illini Zip's most recent grid but that was before Scott and Okonkwo were coming back, so you're correct in that we currently have zero open spots.

This is going to bode well for Akron/Groce who proved 1-10 can get ample playing time with room for more. We're going to be a hockey team with line changes every 2 minutes.

Illini Zip Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 I think a 15 man roster will be great for our new system. I hope Wentz and the collective can handle a couple more guys. There has to be a limit to how many players can be regular contributors. So say 10 guys play most of the minutes. 2 or 3 guys get spot minutes or situational minutes for developmental purposes their Freshman year. And the last 2 or 3 are redshirted.

And if that were the case in 2019 Freeman does not walk on the team. Leave one spot open for a walk on and call it the Freeman exemption. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illini Zip Posted Saturday at 04:51 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 04:51 PM The MAC needs new leadership. This is ridiculous. Have some pride man. Or are you being compensated for letting the MAC become a farm system for the power conferences? Inquiring minds want to know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
