The shooting percentages look nice, but it doesn't appear to have translated into much team success. It looks like IU Indy went 7-25 last year. I can't say I watched them play to know if he was part of the problem or not. Quote
kreed5120 Posted April 7 Report Posted April 7 (edited) Dre Jones doesn't have to go far. Looks like he's going to Cleveland State. I think this is the first former MAC player to commit elsewhere. Edited April 7 by kreed5120 Quote

IU Indy was a high octane offense at times, but they didn't play a lick of defense. Put up 93 at CSU in the 1st round of the Horizon League tourney and gave up over 100. Lost by 16 at Ohio State while putting up 102 & giving up 118. Quote

A lot of other schools that have announced deals said they plan to largely use the funds for revenue sharing. Ball State hasn't signed any deals yet that I'm aware of, but I wonder if they plan to use this as a significant revenue source to help fund the increase. 1 Quote

Not only is college basketball turning into the G League, it’s taking a page from NASCAR. I hadn’t heard that about the sponsorship patches. Quote

First, because it's an iconic Akron brand. Secondly, I think it would compliment the jersey well without being a eyesore. 5 Quote

This would require Goodyear to have an interest in supporting UA athletics which a previous athletics admin told me was not the case. Hopefully that has changed because I agree about it being a recognizable, complimentary addition to the jersey. 2 Quote

I will say I don't recall seeing much Goodyear signage around Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse before they became the Cavs jersey sponsor so anything is still possible. Quote

If they keep messing around with college ball it too will be unwatchable. Quote
kreed5120 Posted April 9 Report Posted April 9 Providence reportedly paid Miles Byrd north of $2 million. He's a terrific perimeter defender, but only shoots .393 from the field and .305 from 3. As said before, it seems there is more money out there than players worth spending it on. I'm sure this will be far from the worst overpay this offseason. Quote
