Ohio State transfer Bowen Hardman just committed to Akron, per source.
Akron has landed Ohio State transfer Bowen Hardman, source told @TheFieldOf68. Junior guard should be an impact player for the Zips.
From walk-on to MAC Player of the Year, Enrique Freeman helped himself at the Portsmouth Invitational. Impressed teams with his relentless motor, role clarity, and character. Measured 6’7½" with a 7’2” wingspan.
Right to it !! #committed
Enrique Freeman, perhaps the only player in @pit history to be simultaneously pursuing the NBA and his M.B.A. Always lots of stories here. His is one of the best. Academic scholarship to Akron, urged to go out for the team, becomes MAC POY and an NBA prospect.
What teams are crushing (and getting crushed by) the portal so far? The top 30 and bottom 30 programs, based on player value gained and lost (net OVR):
Played with motor and energy like he always does @EnriqueFreeman_ fun to sit in the stands and watch you fly around making plays
Fun getting to watch @IamAlix2 tonight from the stands. Plays the right way and makes everyone else better.
It’s gameday in Virginia for Ali and Rique! Ali and Portsmouth Partnership tip off at 7pm and Enrique and Team Roger Brown play immediately after at 9pm. Live on go.prepspin.com! bit.ly/3TWPGKa
DAY OF GIVING IS HERE! Give to Men's Basketball today to help them enhance team development! 🏀 Click here 👉 bit.ly/ZipsMBB #GoZips l 🦘
Wishing this First Team All-MAC duo, @IamAlix2 and @EnriqueFreeman_, good luck at the Portsmouth Invitational tomorrow! 💯 The first two Zips to head to Portsmouth since @little_loren3 in 2021. #GoZips🦘
We're starting the day off with another POY! He led the NCAA in rpg in '23-'24 and led the MAC in rpg three times. Welcome @ZipsMBB's Enrique Freeman (@EnriqueFreeman_ ) #PIT24
Congrats bro! Get to that 2nd weekend.
Nothing brings a school, fans and team together more than the NCAA Tournament! LET’S GO ZIPS!
Focused on the journey 💯 #GoZips🦘
