Are you able to confirm or deny if this player is separate from this morning's earlier commit?

 

Well, the name of the guy who committed this morning was actively out there while Dustin said he couldn't ID today's visit.  That's a pretty strong indicator they're different players.

 

I think it is promising Eric was there and disappointing and telling Sharron was not.

 

Players I saw were Zach, Marvin, Chabi, Cody Head and two of the 3 red-shirts.  I heard that 2 of 3 freshman commits have stayed committed while one decommitted, though I can't identify which.

That's news. My guess is the two guards stayed committed while the Vegas kid decommitted. 

 

Were Perkins & Henderson in attendance?

Henderson posted a video on his IG story a week or so ago working out at our practice facility, so I am assuming he stayed.

Not to mention these type of events really appeal to upper middle class and the wealthy. Even if the event itself doesn't make program changing money, perhaps the relationship building leads to more premium tickets getting sold or corporate sponsors.

I think overall golf outing was happening with Kaulig support but not a bball specific one? Baseball was benefiting from what I know.

This is correct. One outing that benefitted all sports.

Didn't realize this, but Jay Shunnar is married to Cayleifh Griffin, who works on both the Cavs and T-Wolves TV broadcasts. Never hurts for Akron to get some additional exposure.

Obviously doesn't mean Eric is staying, but it's good to hear and I hope it means he is considering returning. Were any other past or current players in attendance? 

 

I remember a group of KD's players were at Groce's introductory press conference. I was super bummed at the time and honestly that gave me a little bit of hope.

 

Pretty sure they all transferred lol.
