one scholarship left if they choose to use it.

Honestly, we have about as much knowledge of what the guys will do as if we had a bunch of 3 and 4 star recruits. Until everyone gets together and rotations are set you don’t know. EMU was going to be really good when 4 star went to EMU, they were a dumpster fire. Segu and Williams, arguably our best recruits ever, on paper, underperformed. Nate is now in the NBA so obviously talent wasn’t the problem. Nobody knows so I’m going to be optimistic until they give me a reason not to. We won 3 games last year, I don’t think I want those top 7 back for an encore.

Yeah, I’m pretty pissed off about that honestly. I support wrestling quite a bit and things have been on the upturn and the recruiting classes continue to get better. ADMA screwed the pooch on this a number of ways. I spoke with one of the wrestlers and also one of the former assistant coaches about this and bottom line is ADMA didn’t like Coach Stutzmans approach to fighting for his guys and their health. As I assume you all know, he really only cares about football, there is no grey area there. I am really happy with the Lembo hiring and I think he is a great fit. However, no UB athlete should be made to feel like this or be subject to these conditions. I firmly believe the administration is 95% in the wrong here. The reason I’m holding back 5% is because nothing is black and white. This is a huge embarrassment and one more obstacle for the next coach to have to overcome.

Officially added to the roster.

I'm on board! Does Yao have a college eligible son yet? Also, don't forget about McVeigh

I guess even the aura of Nate Oats, all the NIL money in the world and a Final 4 doesn't make a team immune from turnover. Nick Pringle has said "Peace Out". If this is the new world order, what hope do we have to find and develop any talent.

Alrighty then. I assumed she was no longer with us, but l guess she is! Would like one more big with the last scholarship, even if it’s just another big practice body

You are right, forgot about him.

I would be on board with that. a redshirt PG would be nice for down the road.

I would suspect Belmont has some NIL program. The other two certainly do. That could be a factor as well if it came down to either or with any of these 3.

Posted by Jack Kreuzer (voice of UB WBB) earlier today. A few interesting developments: Guards (8): Chellia Watson KLW Sitota Gines Paula Lopez Noelani Cornfield (Transfer) Terah Harness (Transfer) Mallory Daly (Freshman) Aniya Rowe (Freshman) Posts (4): Alexis Davis Ariana Seawell (Transfer) Jaylin Hartman (Transfer) Bri Barr-Buday (Freshman) That leaves 12 with 3 more scholarships available. Based upon this, Ida Jonsson Ojala and Chryssi Gouzelou are also gone from the roster. Neither are a real loss in the overall scheme and the current 12 seem to be an upgrade. Also, previous Freshman Thompson is no longer listed, so she either decommitted, was academically ineligible or something. This roster above is already posted on the UB Athletics Website.

Very impressive offseason. I didn't like losing Ogden, but I think her production won't be missed. Her personality was good and she seemed like a good teammate. I think it will be a really fun season!

Very nice, thanks for the info. I have heard that Victor Snow is very fast.

Was CJ able to throw with some level of accuracy or was it mainly a running attack? The one clip I saw from Nik McMillian's catch seemed to come from DiPillo. Great to hear that there is a noticeable difference. I heard something similar from one of the player's dad's who was also in attendance.

Disappointing. Anyone know if she was recruited by SU out of HS and FLJ talked her into coming to UB?

Said he led all of Canada in assists too, that should help.

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.

I think Coach Burke is doing well with recruiting, but yeah. She mentioned Rochester a bunch, why not give UB a little love for giving her the start to her career.

Works for me!

If nothing else, I love the personality he is showing and I would think that would rub off on the players. From what I heard, the last few years were not fun and very overbearing. If nothing else, hopefully these guys can play a little looser and let their abilities shine through. I'm not saying you shouldn't have discipline, but you need a balance or you are going lose guys mentally and you will see the product we had on the field last year.

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.

We get to claim her too, I don’t care what anyone says 😂

Our Roster may be complete for the WBB team! Coach Burke just posted a huge Boom and said 3/3 Stay tuned. Assuming Makenna is 1 of 3, that means 2 more announcements should be forthcoming in the next day or so. If she got in 3 recruits over the weekend and landed them all, that is wild stuff!!
