UB05

How many years eligibility? This should quiet some of the doubters

Exactly. Most of these guys don’t have the opportunity to go pro. Getting a masters degree via scholarship is a massive opportunity and it’s great seeing some of them take advantage of it

I know whitesell’s MO is coaching bigs, and that’s been reflected in our recruiting abilities.... but with our guard depth you’d think it would be pretty easy to get a talented guard in here. Still plenty of time but I’ll feel much better when it happens

Lol! In all seriousness though it doesn’t count as a scholarship for us so it’s not like it’s taking up a roster spot from a guard recruit

Brock was the least of our concerns last season. Played really well and gave it his all. There will be minutes to go around and I’m sure he’ll be a great mentor for the incoming players

Is Kansas ever going to hire a coach? The longer this goes the more difficult the task it’ll be for whoever accepts the position

Fagan coming back would be a good thing. He made the most of his minutes last year and didn’t look out of place at all

Great get! Excited to see him play

Could be something could be nothing. If he did switch commitments I’m glad he didn’t announce UB then change his mind a week later. If he does end up at Cincinnati I hope the staff stays on good terms, Hardnett chose them over us then ended up here anyway.

It does seem a little coincidental, but it could also just be him congratulating a coach that he’s happy for. We don’t even know if he got an offer from them. Also not sure why he’d say it was a venue issue if it were a commitment change, why not just say it’s been postponed until Friday. Not saying you’re wrong, but I don’t just want to assume he changed his mind on us. Coincidence can be deceiving.

Wonder if Kevin has any news on this potential development. Hopefully it was just a venue issue, but I guess we’ll find out tomorrow either way.

Anyone care to explain what in the heck this even means?

Kevin definitely has sources, but probably best to keep things quiet so the players can have their proper commitment announcements without being spoiled.

Thanks. The only thing I read in there is that Texas tech assured Buffalo that they’d help facilitate the process. Maybe I missed it but I don’t see anywhere that it says Mballa came here because he was told he’d get cleared to play right away.

Is that what happened? Did Mballa come here because they “promise a player they will get cleared”? Or is that a fabrication. I honestly don’t know and am asking. With your ax to grind with the administration however it wouldn’t surprise me that you’re just saying whatever you want to make them look as bad as possible.

Hurley still tormenting our MAC rivals lol

Hahaha you joke but.... maybe? edit: never mind I thought they were related

Unless maybe he was pressured into making a quick decision in the first place. GSU offer came in, announced he made a decision, committed within what, a week?

This would be for what, one game?

As someone who applied there back in the day, can confirm Flagstaff is beautiful.

Is Ohio really that far ahead of UB? We beat them in conference play and finished ahead of them going into the tournament. They got hot at a good time. Preston and vanderplas and good, but so are Mballa and Williams. We did lose Graves tho and I don’t think they graduated anyone so that could tip the scales

If you think Preston is spending 2 more years at Ohio well I have a bridge you may be interested in purchasing.

Of course they’re returning next season. If you actually read what I said it was they “are going to be seniors”

Lol wtf are you talking about. That’s the whole point. They’ll be rebuilding after this year. Are you so wrapped up in arguing with certain posters that you can’t understand the discussion?

Sure, he absolutely could turn into their Oats. But until it happens I’m not putting the crown on them. They were a 5 seed and their best players are going to be seniors.
