 Somehow, Desmond Ridenour only holds scholarship offers from Akron and Kent State, despite being one of the best hoops prospects in the greater Cleveland area and possessing pure athleticism like this. How a handful of other schools can pass on one of the nation's most forceful dunkers is baffling, but right now they appear to be ... and Akron or Kent State are setting themselves up to get a steal of a player.

He's also a non-qualifier, by NCAA standards.  Kent and Akron can get him into school, where most 4 year colleges wil NOT take non-qualifiers.  This probably explains why they have offered him.  He has to pay his own way the first year, then if he's eligible he would get a scholarship, and have it for that 2nd year, and down the line.  This is what Akron did with Nick Harney, and Demetrius Treadwell, and Kent did with Scooter Johnson.  This may explain what's going on with him.
