There's recovery for this?

I think Wol shot the lights out against us (unfortunately a recurring theme), IIRC.

 

32 points that game..I think most were in the 2nd half, too.

Seems like when you see this many teams announced, the player is just trying to create a bidding war. Akron is the only team on the list who made the tournament.

I assume this is why I immediately thought he'd be a good get for us.

[kreed5120]

It could just be schools gauging the market. Some of those schools he might be their option if their top 10 guys fall through. Either way, if there is that many teams him signing at Akron will probably be unlikely. Odds are some team will value him much higher than we might. I looked at his numbers against D1 competition, 2 of which were low majors. Nothing really jumps out to me that he's a must get.

I don't know how many times Akron was linked to guys last year in tweets like this and I never heard about them again.

That’s the nature of the portal. Calls from coaches aren’t always a reliable indicator of genuine interest.

i want nothing to do with a guy going on his 4th team in 4 years.  Culture...culture...culture...

[zippy5]

Yes and no. Culture is only going to get us so far. Not that I want the Nick Harney experience again, but we need some dudes

[NWAkron]

We need dudes, viable back up bigs, and 3 Peat Gear in no particular order.

We were Evan's 3rd school in 4 years and he was one of the best "culture" players I can remember. With more coach turnover and roster instability in today's college basketball, I wouldn't dismiss a possible addition based on the number of stops he's had.

Yes, but we had much greater access and knowledge of Evan.  I wouldn't automatically exclude the guy but it's a pretty big warning sign.

It can be a warning sign or it can be a kid trying to find the right place. The context of the moves is just so important.

I guess next year isn't gonna be their year either

Interesting but probably not a 'cultural fit' at Akron(?)
