Zips add walk-on from Florida

Men’s basketball
Akron will add a 6-foot-4 walk-on guard from Florida.
Kyle Peterson averaged 18.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.3 steals per game at Community School in Naples, Fla.
After the fiascos with Rydell Brooks and Andrew Moss, Zips fans will be refreshed to hear Peterson has a 3.8 GPA and his high school retired his jersey, which tends to indicate high character.
Keith Dambrot praised Peterson’s high basketball IQ. Akron’s Honors College has already accepted Peterson. (Good luck with your final Honors project, buddy.)
His stats are not very impressive. However, Peterson should help the team practice and maybe earn some defensive minutes as an upperclassman.
Miscellaneous
The ABJ’s Bob Dyer eloquently responded to an ignorant question from a UA professor: Why do high school sports exist?
You’d assume such a question would come from that annals of Kent State University, but no.

How high do stats have to be before they become impressive?

Real clever, Rasor. That’s the same thing I heard when Brooks was arrested for shooting at police. “You’d assume such an action would come from a Kent State player.”
Pretty ignorant…

Can’t sports just be fun too?

I think his point is the Kent State sucks and there’s pretty much just a bunch of rejects hanging out and getting “taught” there. You’re our rivals. It’s an Akron BLOG. Get over it. You suck.

Mike-
I read an article on Kent St pursuing a kid named Evans that Bob Huggins wouldn’t take out of HS. The internet reports he was arrested for statuatory rape (sp?), marijuana, etc. What is Kent thinking?
Also- this whole Rob Senderoff thing…. WOW- he was all over the ticker last night during the NBA finals. I googled his name today and couldn’t believe what I was reading. How could Kent have possibly hired that guy?

Hey Bill, try googling Dambrot next time and see what you get…
The only people that think ignorant questions only come from Kent are those that couldn’t get in there so went to Akron. Seriously.

Must read for anyone who is interested in the Kelvin Sampson fiasco. This guy will not be coaching anytime soon at a college near you.
