Thought he was starting to turn it around near the end of the season. Had an absolutely brutal start to the season though
Opens up a scholarship, go get a scorer and you'll likely have improved
Not a fan of running only two pg's one being a transfer from Usport and the other a freshman though
So the starting line up base in my opinion going into the season will likely be
1: Dunn or fulcher
2: TBD
3: batchlor (could be slotted 2-4)
4: TBD
5: Armani Mighty
I think you are under estimating some of the Canadians and freshman UB has coming in
I don't think it's taking what UB can get
I would bet that a few of them had other opportunities as well that just weren't publicized
A player that allows the staff to move one of sabol or boldin to the bench and let's all the freshman and sophomores to develop more naturally
Although if the staff feels confident one of the sophomores or freshmen are ready to really take on more responsibility then a PG that you can red shirt wouldn't be a bad idea
That kind of player would be a solid pick up as well
Might be nice to add a freshman point guard as well
They have a lot of possibilities with the last scholarship
I'm more worried about offense just because it's tougher to be good on offense than it is to be good defensively
Defensively you will be fine as long as you put in the effort (and have some semblance of size)
So one scholarship left, it would be fantastic if they can get someone that has shown they can score/bucket getter
Teams coming together nicely. I like the make up. Just seem to be missing a scorer
Who they do hire us surprisingly big in my opinion, it will look bad if it's a promotion from within. Kinda like you can't get any interest in the job
Imagine they have someone already or have a plan since cage is already hired and on another teams website
Interesting for sure
Could somewhat see this coming as he didn't seem too associated with the incoming recruiting class compared to last seasons recruiting where he seemed much more involved
I'm unfamiliar with visas but aren't there other kinds of visas they could apply for?
What about being able to cross the boarder back into Canada so they could "work" - do you think this could be a loop hole around not having a work visa
I know Zach edey was able to get nil money when Purdue played in early season tournament not in the US two seasons ago
Losing a coach to an A10 school would suck
I saw an interview with Josh schertz and he spoke about how all of the Indiana St fans wanted him fired after the first season
So I looked a bit into his first season Indiana St dropped from a team ranked near 100 to a team ranked 230 in his first season
Didn't drop as far as GH3 and he also recruited really well but some similarities are there
Good name, easy NIL possibilities with Mighty Taco
To add, he was offered a scholarship from Vermont when he was coming out of highschool, likely from current UB assistant coach tibbs
Yeah I'm guessing the players that fill out the last two scholarships will be off the radar signings as nearly every other one has been
Wouldn't be opposed to going the Usport route again for a grad big if any are actually interested in playing in the states. I this is a really creative way to get older players without much NIL (also not sure if the actual skill level of Usport, but if you're 23 playing against 18 year olds you will probably be okay either way)
