Spoke with Kent State HC Rob Senderoff today. He confirmed that Jalen Sullinger is enrolled as a full time student at Kent State, and the plan is for him to redshirt this season and play his senior year during the 25-26 season.

“The origin behind G.R.I.T. is phenomenal. GRIT is just not a word here at Kent State, it’s a lifestyle, a lifestyle I want to be a part of. The atmosphere and energy here is insane.”

Kent State Men’s Basketball Associate Head Coach Julian Sullinger headed to Duquesne to be on Dru Joyce’s first staff, happy for Coach Jules and his family! He’s been an absolute class representative of the program going back to his playing days! 11 years in Kent! Flash forever!

@KentStWBB
is one of just 21 programs in the nation to not have any player transfer OUT this upcoming season. A lot of ways to win these days, and certainly consistency and continuity are one of them. Starkey and staff have done it well. They’re coming.
“I’m back home in Kent. I’ve missed the relationships, my brothers and I wouldn’t want to do this with anyone else, or at any other school. I’m ready to get back to work and compete for a MAC Championship.”

ICYMI: Jalen Sullinger is back as a full time student at KSU and back in the men’s basketball program. Rob Senderoff plans to redshirt him in 24-25, but along with any other redshirt, he could compete at any moment this season should the need arise.
“They plan to further develop me as a big wing player. I think seeing that they were a highly competitive team really was big for me because I always want to play with and against the best of the best so I felt as though it was a good opportunity for me.”
With the addition of Wopp,
@CoachSendy
will have a distinct Northeast Ohio flare to the roster next year with Sumlin (Rhodes), Bekelja (Solon), Nichols (Hoban), Jones (Garfield Hts.), Barnett (Brunswick) and throw in 5 more Ohio natives for 10 total

for a fun night for all.
Chatted with KSU HC Rob Senderoff today for over an hour at Midwest Live on a variety of topics, including upcoming non-con schedule. Sendy said they’re looking for two games still, including a hopeful Power 5 game, will host Niagara and Portland, open season 11/4 at Louisiana
Happy Birthday to

legend
@MichaelReghi
! He’s been on the call of so many big
@KentStAthletics
moments over the years. As a kid growing up in CLE, between the Cavs and MACtion his voice was a staple of my childhood. Had pleasure of meeting him a few times in my KSU day.
“He’s got to get gelled with his offensive line and you’re looking at the 1-2 punch of him and Gavin Garcia, which I think Gavin has had a phenomenal off season as well. But those two, they’re 1A and 1B and it gives us a lot of depth at that position…”
There is incredible access for the fans should they contribute.
@CoachSendy
and the program are giving a peek into all things hoops. From
@WindhorstESPN
to seeing a scouting report, etc. fans have some great opportunities to be involved

Having been on campus for every single Edelman game at Kent, that experience was something else, worth the price of admission (even though it was free), first game at Dix vs. Minnesota, first series he shook a BIG10 LB out of his shoes for first down scramble, rest is history
The late rounds of draft are special to me. It’s where I was taken by the

and it’s where guys like me had to start to earn a roster spot. Take advantage of every opportunity. Make yourself valuable in every part of the game. We had a saying in Foxboro. “The more you can

“Coach Sendy and the other coaches were amazing and just all super engaged in what I had to say. The campus was beautiful and everything is close together so you don’t have to travel by car a lot if all. I got a good feel about the team and how they play.”
Kent State commit 6-9 DeAndre Jones from Garfield Heights…compares to Khaliq Spicer former Kent DPOY…elite rim protector…will need to put on strength…with Sendy and Sully’s reputation for big development he will improve…future MAC All-Defensive team in future hopefully
