dutchcountry7 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I am always skeptical of top ranked recruits who consider a program like UB. It most often means that other programs have passed them over despite their ranking because they see some flaw which results in the player becoming available. While there are exceptions, most of the players that become stars for programs like UB are the not ranked recruits that were overlooked and develop into great players.

Tee4three Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 The story on Hawkins and why ub was in the discussion (and was coming here) was playing time. Here he would have gotten minutes right away at other power schools that were in on him he would have been similar to what he did at Alabama. Which it looks like alabama screwed him by not red shirting him and wasted a years worth of eligibility I hope he considers ub, would be a great addition. Front court of him and mballa could be nasty 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rma Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Unless there's no Brock and no Fagan, I don't know if he gets a ton of minutes if he comes here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front court of him and mballa could be nasty Which is why I laughed at the whole situation. As I have said in other post, Oats is swimming or trying to swim in the deep end of the recurring pool (4/5 star players and one and done players). We had gotten to the middle of the pool which is why we initially landed Hawkins. But it’s clear he isn’t the caliber player Oats needed for the SEC. Not a knock on the kid...Oats needs impact players right away. He has no time to develop. Had he come to UB he could’ve gotten minutes and learned by doing. Not wasting on the bench. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still do not see Brock even if he stays being any help except for a few minutes a game . I know he is a good kid and teammate but with all his injuries he is not quick enough to compete against the athletic bigs in the MAC. Any athletic big we can land should be given the chance to get playing time with or behind Mballa. Still uncertain if Fagan will be on the team or be any help for us due to his limited playing time and his injury status. Maybe the only hope is to land a Juco athletic player in the 6’6’ to 6’9’ who can shoot and rebound. Go Bulls!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video shows he can shoot the 3’s, has a nice pull up jumper, can drive to the rim and has the size to rebound. Hope he is on UB’s radar. Go Bulls!!!!

It's possible Oats may have told him to maybe consider Buffalo as he would have an opportunity to get some minutes on a team that just won 20 games with one true forward active. Never know.

John Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 19 hours ago, Kevin said: Nope. Not in on him. I went back and looked at some film on Hawkins and he looked like he has some athletic quickness and moves his feet decent with some moves around the basket. The 2nd film on him looked like he lost some weight also. Would be an upgrade for us on the front line over all the players we have and would be a good complement to Mballa. Have not heard if we are giving him a look or not. We definitely need to get another bigger front line player with a decent presence down low that can give us some productive minutes. Hope we get some positive news because some of the other MAC teams are signing some JUCOs and other players with some decent size. Go Bulls!!!!
