Fulcher in the portal is crazy to me. College sports broken af. Power to the players, all day every day, but wow. The stats in the thread are interesting definitely but I was selfishly going to use Fulcher this year as a barometer of how this GH3 staff develops players. Fulcher has good speed, showed good drive to the hoop. Turnovers and 3PT shooting were an issue, surely attributing to his bad metrics, but that can be coached, and I wanted to see if it was. Oh well. Best of luck to him wherever he ends up. Feel like we desperately need another vet now.

Every mid-range fadeaway jumper Chatman and Adams took this year killed me inside.

Can't help but think if you're a college coach watching these games... how do you not adapt this style of play that Oats instilled here and continued at Alabama? Final score not representative of that game at all. It'd be one thing if Oats left UB for a middling SEC team and proved to be in way over his head by making them worse, but man, has he done the total opposite. Hard to be mad at a guy for "leaving" when he proves it. GH3... you watching?

This surprised me. I know he hit the portal for a minute last year. I really enjoyed his run towards the end of the season, felt like he was finally putting it together and I think he's the only one on the team this season who tried to draw a charge. Rooting for him, wherever he ends up

Don't you need a waiver on starting on 3? (like what happened with Ali x2 this year?) So theoretically Graham is taking a risk that he won't even get to play next year. Yeesh.

Definitely thought we were Graham's third transfer and thought he was stuck here. No crocodile tears for a very underwhelming player. Best of luck to him.

Not sure if this is the right thread but Isaiah finally hit the portal. Adams, Smith, and Jones were locks for the portal. I think anyone else ending up in there at this point would be a bit of a surprise.

Anybody else hoping that AJ liking this means he won't be hitting the portal or am I reaching? 😅

Could see this being an Ali x2 situation and he goes back to Ball St.

Best of luck to Kanye. Was hoping he'd be a big rotation guy for us this season. I guess we never got news on why he left the team this year but I hope all is well for him off the court. Every minute that goes buy without Adams and Smith entering the portal, I grow more and more shocked. An old friend:

Really feel awful for Rollins. Have to know the situation though. As a MAC fan... I am happy it's Akron representing us in the tournament over Kent State. Let Freeman and Ali x2 put on a show in a game, maybe even two depending on the round one matchup, and maybe get some focus on the MAC. This conference certainly won't have the juice that the Oats Buffalo teams gave it, but I'm more confident in a MAC win with Akron there than Kent St.

1 is an absolute BALLER

Wish they just gave it to Chella for that final run up the court but I'm a total poser, this is the first game I've tuned into on the womens side this year so don't mind my takes

Brutal fourth foul call on Ali x2

I love everything about what just happened at the end of the half in the Akron/Miami (OH) game. Freeman rebounds the ball 28 seconds left and immediately turns it over in a very dumb way. Miami (OH) ties the game @ 35 on a jumper. Akron brings it down the court, Freeman dunks it to end the half. 37-35. He runs towards his locker room and points at his head, bangs his chest, says "my bad" to his teammates and John Groce hugs him as he's walking off the court. That's culture. That's an established organization. That's a senior leader on a team. Twenty-eight seconds that looks like this tells you everything you need to know about how much we're currently missing in our organization.
