Fair just got drafted #17 by the two-time defending champion Las Vegas Aces as their first pick. Makes 2 recent UB pros, both from Rochester.

True to form, we have another Canadian! 31 minutes/game, 15.5 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 6.4 assists/game, 2.11 assist/turnover ratio, 37.5% 3-points (30-80), 75% FT shooter. Hopefully it can translate to UB and give us a veteran presence that looks like he can shoot and distribute. 5.8 rpg is really solid for a 6'3 guard as well, could be a gym rat.

I really like this pickup. Gives the staff another open scholarship next season, but she will reap us rewards this year. A real low block presence that is used to playing 28 minutes a game, which she will likely not have to do this season, so she can be fresh, clean the boards and give us much needed post scoring. Well done staff.

Sadly, you are right. This is a perfect example of players go for the coach, not the school. Not always the case, but many times the case. This will be interesting both ways. WNBA is chocked full of talent and players on the larger end. I'm wondering if DF will be able to compete at that level given her stature. I know she has played against bigger teams her entire career, but most in the NCAA don't have the honed skills of grown women that are 6'2"+ packing rosters. With on'y 12 roster spots, you can't really afford to keep players that may be considered a project. Will also be interesting for FLJ. She has 4 women in the portal so far (including McEvans) and will no longer have Fair to lean on as she has for 5 seasons. Wooley is a solid player, but I don't see her taking over that role. Not sure what recruits she has coming in, but I would be surprised if they maintained the same level next season after a loss of a player like that. I still wish her well, but it would be nice to get a Buffalo shout out once in a while too.

For what it's worth, watching the video clips at the UBBulls.com site has me a bit jazzed up for the upcoming football season. I couldn't tell you the last time I was looking forward to football this far out. Lembo has definitely created something...

There's definitely something to be said for recruiting transfers with high major pedigree but they signed a bunch of role players on a West Virginia team that was rated lower than Akron last year. They could pop at Akron, but I don't think they look prohibitively talented. I think getting a group of transfers that played together at a previous school is interesting though. It sounds like Texas is trying to do the same thing by grabbing a bunch of the Indiana St. transfers.

Burke picked up another player from the portal freshman 6'1 Makenna Shaffer JUCO Florida Southwestern State. Good size played guard started 28/30games 12/pts 7.8/reb shot 34% 3pt meets the team needs of size and shooting ability. There are two scholarships left keep building🤘
