Jordan Ash to Wright State
- Thread starter Cat Fan in Buckeye Land
- Start date
He had quad surgery? Was that new information for anyone besides me? Thinking that it would be tough to come back and play competitively from an injury like that...
Too bad Wright State is in Dayton, the other end of Ohio.......Dayton was the home of the Wright Brothers, who besides building bicycles also invented something significant.......
The "living at home with their parents" thing is very 20 years ago re: the internet, but otherwise, he's right. Not only do people here know far less than they think, but they also aren't indicative of the fanbase. Same goes for any internet team-focused message board.
I can empathize with Ash. It’s hard reading critical thoughts about your abilities. Most guys are trying to focus on the positive and improve. And many are also lying to themselves.
But if you chose to play on the big stage then you have to be ready to get criticized. I’d much rather a guy put up the numbers and then brag a bit than a guy without numbers simply call critics idiots. And that’s what I think Ash did.
Let’s see how it goes at Wright State. Let’s see if he plays professionally. Then let’s look back at what those ‘idiots’ said.

Cleveland State games are pretty good to go to...pregame $1 draft beer and $2 food specials an hour before game time, and season tickets for pretty good seats were only $170 last season.
Spot on! Both Ash and Benson are solid Big Ten Players who would have helped us next year! No doubt! Just think with those two, we have eleven solid players! Let’s see what kind of transfers we pick up! Ash was definitely better than Taylor was for us last year.
Just how would Ash help NU next season? better then Taylor… don't think so. Maybe you should look into getting the Horizon League TV package, so you can sit on your comfy couch and cheer on the Wolves, err Raiders.
If he wasn't physically able to put up the numbers so he was left with having to call the critics the idiots that they are
Well Taylor is gone so the fact that he still had eligibility... If he was able to get healthy we would have had another body to work with
I honestly don't know and too lazy to check, but I wonder who averages higher attendance. And, if you factored the number of opposing fans out, who draws the larger home base crowd...
Any way you slice it, NU outdraws CSU:
"Cleveland State men's basketball drew fewer fans in an entire year than the Cavs draw for one home game, which is sad, because despite CSU's recent struggles, it's a helluva fun and cheap outing. (To say nothing of the dynamite hoopy hour deals.) Anyway.
The Viking men's squad drew 18,195 fans in 2017, a 36.5% decrease from the 28,669 fans it drew in 2016, which itself was a 30% drop from the 2015 attendance total. 2017's numbers are the lowest for the program since 1983."

Took literally five seconds to find:
“CSU's 10-win season in 2018-19 produced an attendance average of 1,115 that was the worst for the men's hoops team since at least 1977-78, the last season for which the NCAA has per-school data on its website.”

NU averaged 6,488.

Well, no way to isolate NU fans over opposing fans so, who knows.
I don’t think NU MBB games are a high demand game but whatever. Not planning to go to or watch CSU regardless.
You’re just arguing to be contrarian. There’s literally no way you could make me believe CSU tickets are in higher demand than NU.
I wasn’t even arguing. And I don’t really care who the tallest midget is. But, you go on with your bad self.
well if NU keeps drawing more and more fans , they might need to build a much larger arena.
As a CSU season ticket holder, I can totally confirm their attendance woes...maybe a handful of games drew over 1000 people this past season.
Maybe I was wrong about Ash. I thought he would really help us,if healthy. Maybe he is not 100%! Hope we get three more big ten level guys before the season starts.
Depends on the opponent. Guy next to me sold his tickets to Indiana game for $200 each
My guess is Jordan Ash makes it to the Sweet 16 this year! But I don't think he would have started at NU with Spencer and Buie
