UConn shouldn’t be a barometer for anything.

I think we can all agree that the recruiting class Coach Oats and staff had lined up before he left for Alabama was impressive. Maybe our strongest class of all time. The following was the class lined up to attend Buffalo in 2019-2020 under coach Oats: Andre Allen James Rojas Noah WIlliams Durey Cadwell Raymond Hawkins I think it is time to give coach Whitesell and staff credit for assembling a very strong class after Oats left. We lost the entire class and Coach Whitesell and staff had to scramble to put together a class of recruits. I believe they did a great job and deserve a lot of credit for putting together a great class. This class speaks volumes about the coaching staff and the quality of our school. I think the class the coaches have put together is comparable and in the end this class may end up being stronger than the impressive Oats class. I would not be surprised if at the end of the day the current class ends up having a greater impact on the success of our basketball program than the Oats class would have. For the sake of conversations the following is the class assembled by Coach Whitesell: Savion Gallion Laquill Hardnett Josh Mballa David Skogman David Nickelberry How do you all think these recruiting classes compare?

Great point. Enough cannot be said about the job this coaching staff did to have non of our players transfer out during the coaching change. Shows how close to this group both Whitesell and JQ are. These kids believe in this staff and more importantly they believe in the system and culture that has been created here. They can feel the momentum building and want to continue to ride the wave that is UB basketball!
