Akron: "We're all coming back!"
Also Akron: *Okonkwo to Utah*
Also Also Akron: https://www.instagram.com/p/DIUn_PhuugV/?hl=en
Also Also Also Akron: Nate Johnson to portal

love the handle "loyalty.natejohnson"
They should update that first post:
"We're all coming back....to grab our stuff and get out of here. Peace out Kent, I mean Akron (I don't know where I'm at anymore). Love to all you Rocket fans!"

You could say the same about almost every non-p5. It's the new reality of mercenary AAU athletics.

Another newsflash to all… I know everybody loves numbers nowadays. Everything is critiqued and broken down into percentages. However, the one thing the percentages and the numbers leave out is who you are playing against. I am not taking sides. I’m simply saying that maybe when Pav is in the lane there aren’t two or three big guys in the lane. Maybe when Elliot was in the lane there were two or three big guys. Again, my point isn’t to either support or disrespect the numbers. It’s just that they’re not always the whole story.

UMass with two more JUCO adds, including Bo Outlaw’s kid. That makes three total + that top D2 guard it landed earlier in the portal season. Should be an interesting addition to the MAC next season.

6-10 and 6-9. I'll bet they can both walk and chew gum at the same time!

If this is the case, aren't you just saying that Pavs takes better shots than Elliot?

Compared to Coach Thorntons instagram story, we’ve filled the last roster spot. Just waiting for the announcement.

Based on precedent, it will be someone completely off our (BA’s) radar. So (e) or (f).

(a) would be incredible, but highly unlikely.

Yea, I think it’s Dior or JR Konieczny of ND. Both are now following players/staff as if they’ve visited. Dior appears to be following more.

However and to Bobcat Tattoo’s point, known interest in our portal commits seems to go undocumented prior.

I forgot Dior was from Columbus.

His % from three and at the FT line are very solid.

I would sign up for Dior three years ago. Hope it happens.

I don't follow social media (new school) but heard this earlier today from a reliable source (old school) while at the spring game in Peden.

If you can't beat 'em, let them join you!

We offering more "NIL money" or just closer to home, or both? Or, and this would be real old school, he just likes the school and coaches better? Inquiring minds want to know.

Please…please…let this be true. This would be tremendous. Also wonder if this means E2 is coming off the bench next season. Don’t think Dior is coming off the bench his final season.

Although nowadays positions are moot.
Conners did enjoy shooting at The Convo last year!

I can see this and would like it. This probably would be the starting 5. Neat mix. All bring something different skill wise. Promising.

I wouldn't shoo-in Conners to start. He doesn't make much of a statistical impact beyond making threes. Not an assist guy, not a steals guy, not a rebound guy. But the three point numbers exceptional. I think we can fill in everywhere else with the other guards.

If it is Conners, we have replaced 96 career starts lost in the transfer portal with 191 careers starts. I don't know that I'd get hung up on who starts and who is the odd man out of the core six. They all should be 25+ minutes. And with our injury luck, that sixth man is probably starting a handful of games.
