If he commits for UB today, seeing him get pulled away from teams like Arkansas, Houston, GT, Iowa, Iowa St, etc, would feel SSOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOD.
That shows how far we have come, even that we are talking about the possibility.

We get a mention about half way through. Interesting read on Nate too.
How are his free throws? He needs to bring that number up D-E-S-P-E-R-A-T-E-L-Y
The rest, I'm really excited to hear about. Hopefully we can (almost) run the table again this year! 🙂
I guess better late than never. I would have liked to see Perk and Brock playing a little twin towers game last year, but if he's getting quicker and better at shooting this year, I'll take it.
I found this from 2018

Looks like he could be a solid Perk replacement
Love the data and what it suggests. I think this will be a great "rebuilding" year for us, especially if Segu and Williams find their stride.
As much as the data is fun to look at, it doesn't take in to account the big things, like how these guys progress in the off season, what they've done to improve their game, how their workouts and strength training have been, and the list could go on. Ultimately we'll see how everyone stands come September. Those are the stats I want to see.
Damn, to snag a guy who was part of a national championship team is huge. That says a lot about what he saw in us when we played them.
I especially like what I see in his videos. He looks like he's a trash ball kind of guy, which is always a good thing.
Super excited to see this add!
Is anyone else really antsy about how quiet it's been out of UB's athletics department for our roster? I mean, I know we have had a few good sign ons, but I so badly want to hear what we're doing with the last few roster spots!
The silence is KILLING ME!!
I'm split as well. I obviously have no vitriol against any of the kids who decommitted from us, but it's still a personal scar that makes me not want to see them do well.
Also, after Nate left, I kind of definitely don't want him to do well. But at the same time, I do? Lots of mixed emotions. All the emotions.
Hey, if they can get a bunch of guys that are 6'6+, can shoot the 3's and hit their foul shots, then they'll obviously be an inside pressure as well. I'll ride that team all the way to the final 4.
