I cant find much on him rankings-wise. Verbal commits shows him as 3 stars but no rank # there or elsewhere. Appears to have offers from DePaul, Illinois State, Louisiana Tech, and Northeastern. Interest from Bucknell, Florida, and St Johns. 6'-5" Shooting guard class of 2020 https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2020/aj-staton-257018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

961819 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Currently this ranking would have him graded higher than both Josiah and Chanse (He would be tied with Skogman and Hardnett for 4th highest rated recruit in program history) Edited February 7, 2020 by 961819 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would he be higher than Chanse? He is 312th overall while chanse is 256th on 247. He doesnt have a composite rank for some reason not sure why.

Tee4three Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Sounds like a potentially solid addition Any connections with segu? Seems recently a lot of recruits know him and he is from FL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are his stats on MaxPreps.com Points / Game: 14.8 Assists / Game: 3.0 Rebounds / Game: 6.8 He attempts 2s and 3s at about the same rate. Shooting 56% from 2point range and 43% from 3 point range. https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/aj-staton/7DXjhgXCEeqAzqREozo6lw/basketball/stats.htm#year=19-20 Seems like the stats may be incomplete - as last game is 12/10/2019. When I try to look at boxscore - the detail is not provided after that either. Not sure what story is here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooleyBull06 Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 I’m beginning to see something emerge in the type of players we are after. Many would have thought with that last scholarship we need a big. But I think Whitesell is after shooters. Knowing outside shooting has been an issue this season and rebounding has been a strength. Plus our current bigs are young. Guys like Hardnett, Mballa, Skogman and Williams (Williams may not be tall but is lengthy). Add Fagan’s 6-8 if he returns next year. So bringing in shooters will space the floor thus giving us inside outside balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is only an offer. Will it lead to a commitment? That is the million dollar question. Our recruiting success imo was linked directly to Oats' energy and Hodgson's contacts. It remains to be seen if the current staff can match their success.I remain hopeful, but it remains to be seen. Also, Buffalo basketball has been synonymous with the Big Dance over the last five years and not only that but making a splash when we got there. You just cannot replace that positive PR. The current team is teetering on the brink. It could go either way. Finishing strong would help quite a bit. On the other hand losing more stinkers like at EMU could really hamper the staff's recruiting efforts. Bottom line tonight's game is huge as is the month of February. I am excited to see how the coaches and players respond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grade wise, not ranking since Chanse is a different position his higher ranking in the PG category moves him higher overall. But Chanse is graded out to a .87 right now, AJ is .88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChubbyHubby Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 There's been another coach on the sidelines other than JW, AT, and JQ. A rather large gentleman. He doesn't show up on the website. Who is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Staton chooses UB, that would make us clearly ahead of the other teams. Fingers crossed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
