We're building something real here with Coach Sumrall, and it starts with changing the culture immediately. You think we have time for a five-year plan when the rest of the MAC is loading up? The portal lets us fix roster holes now with experienced players who want to be here. That locker room camaraderie comes from winning, and these transfers are hungry to prove themselves for Akron. Coach Lackner's era is over, and clinging to that old model is how you get left behind. We're building a brotherhood around competing for chhampionships right now, not just hoping to develop one someday.
