Did a great job at Stony Brook. He might have to re-recruit his own players. But hey the MAC East keeps getting easier for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially after our 5 seniors are gone. Next year we will take a step back, how big a step depends on the talent we have coming in and how they all gel with each other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) MAC East took a bit hit today, and probably going forward. Even on a down year, UB should still be the king. Jordan, Graves, A. Johnson, J. Williams, and A. Allen are a mighty decent starting 5. Grant, Rojas, Segu, N. Williams, Caldwell, and Hawkins (hopefully) are another decent starting 5 that will be in backup roles The team will be very talented.

xDerekRx Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Definitely going to miss the current crop of seniors but kind of excited to see what Graves looks like when its his team. Jordan should be a good leader as well and expected to do more defensively. The JUCO players we generally get have great impacts immediately so I expect nothing less there. To me Williams is kind of the biggest Xfactor. Obviously we know his recruiting expectations. Can he really start to break out next year? This year we saw his raw potential but it was just that, raw.

Carter and Kirk were guys that could make them competitive under the right leadership next year. Now they’ll likely be even worse than they were this year.

No doubt they become a bottom team next year. This rebuild could take 3 to 4 years. But the transfer market is deep. That could be their quickest way back.

Boals is already bringing talented recruits into Athens for campus visits. They'll most likely have a down year once again next year but shouldn't be in the cellar for too long. There's a ton of talent in Ohio and Boals is hitting the Columbus area hard. They should return to normal within 2-3 years.

961819 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Ohio just got a Verbal from a 3 ⭐️ 6’4 SG. Marvin Price, turned down some pretty enticing P5 schools. Hopefully UB is putting work in and that’s why we haven’t been hearing any recent updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
961819 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Just watched highlights of his. Lefty with decent muscle already for a high schooler. Plays above the rim, looks like he’ll be annoying to go against Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he being recruited by Beals while he was at Stony? Bc if not that means they jumped in on him and sealed the deal in less than a month.

He had to have been because I’m not sure how a rebuilding Ohio team could seal the deal like that. Especially for a very college ready looking player. Good signing for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue32 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 One thing to keep in mind is that just because they received high major offers at some point doesn't meet they really have the opportunity there. All of the high major offers were from 2017 or earlier except for Boston College. Schools get in early on kids they see potential in but a lot can change in 2+ years.

Completely agree, I think personally though it’s just a reflection of the quality of player he is. I can fully expect to be frustrated by him in future years lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
961819 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Ohio’s recruit is a 2 ⭐️ typical MAC recruit with offers from other MAC schools, Akron’s transfer is also a 2 ⭐️ that averaged 12.4 minutes, 2.5 ppg and 1.6 rpg at Iowa. Nothing crazy but I’m slightly jealous that they have a recruiting class to talk about meanwhile we are in the dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big 4 Hoops Blogger Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) I’d probably recheck your information on Ohio commit Ben Roderick. 247 has him as their 167th best prospect in the country (composite rankings) and the 5th best player in Ohio. He was getting looked at by Xavier, Butler and Ohio State but didn’t receive any offers from them. He’s listed as a 3 star recruit who’s coming off a season in which he averaged 27.5 points per game in Columbus on his way to being named the Gatorade Ohio Player of the Year. 247 Recruiting Rankings Then they have him listed at 222nd in the nation on his recruiting page. https://247sports.com/Player/Ben-Roderick-46038554/ That’s two top 250 players committing to the Bobcats in a pair of days. There’s quality players available. Buffalo needs to go find them. Edited April 16, 2019 by Big 4 Hoops Blogger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooleyBull06 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Ohio just lost two players who are top quality transfers themselves. So the way I see it is this just replaces them. Either way quality gets for Boals. Already hitting the ground running. Could be a team to fear in the coming years. Their outlook has been accelerated no doubt. But then again if Boals wins right away he’ll be gone. #midmajorlife 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often players will say they were offered a scholarship when a team merely shows interest in them but have not actually offered a scholarship. Verbal Commits lists the schools that have actually offered, not just shown interest Regardless, still a good signing for Ohio. Continued radio silence from UB, it’s getting concerning considering it would seem we haven’t even offered any scholarships. Concerning to say the least 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find they're better for offers but I don't really look at their rankings, they're hardly ever updated. Compare the position rankings listed on their site vs when you go to the ESPN link. On a quick glance Jeenathan's, Rondo's, and Hawkins' are all off. Their rivals and scout recruiting links don't even link to valid URLs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
