Katz: Akron is LeBron's 'alma mater'
Men's basketball
ESPN.com's Andy Katz chronicled the many ways in which LeBron James has helped Akron's basketball program.
The James Effect was not a factor in recruiting Zeke Marshall, but it has given Keith Dambrot an open door for other guys who otherwise have little business with MAC teams.

The Chaz Russell story I quoted from a few days ago is outdated.

Therefore, Akron probably still has a chance on him. I will find out more in a couple weeks.
