Good name, easy NIL possibilities with Mighty Taco To add, he was offered a scholarship from Vermont when he was coming out of highschool, likely from current UB assistant coach tibbs

Yeah I'm guessing the players that fill out the last two scholarships will be off the radar signings as nearly every other one has been Wouldn't be opposed to going the Usport route again for a grad big if any are actually interested in playing in the states. I this is a really creative way to get older players without much NIL (also not sure if the actual skill level of Usport, but if you're 23 playing against 18 year olds you will probably be okay either way)

That last line made me laugh more than it should have

So roughly similar target as jo smith, interesting I've never been a big graph guy ha just the basic chart of numbers I can see (I can't see the chart to shared that well but appreciate it greatly) With the last two scholarships I'd love to see at least one upper class big, and the more I think about it an upper class guard Wouldn't mind having the ability to slot sabol/boldin/Wilson/McVeigh into a more proper position on the team and let them develop more naturally

That's a big pick up for Toledo He will do very well there in a system that fits his strengths

Personally think having a second PG at least doubles, potentially triples the win total from last season alone

Yeah would be nice to keep a couple rostered for the following season UB does have a PG already commit for 2025 though

2 scholarships left? Get an upperclassmen big with experience and then maybe a freshman that you'll redshirt regardless of position

One of the things I wanted to see when GH3 was hired was to build up a Canadian pipe line Hoping it's just the beginning of bringing in some of the better talent Canada has to offer Reading about NIL in regards to non us citizens, a school like buffalo who is on the boarder will have the opportunity to get foreign players NIL easier than some other schools. (Apparently there is a loop hole on if it takes place on us soil or not. At least in regards to Zach Eady, who did all his NIL work while the team was in one of the early season tournaments)

Just what uconn needs another knock down shooter

Their best player is actually getting looks from power five schools, believe it's the leading scorer who is in the portal as a grad transfer

Mount st Mary's head coach just took an assistant job for Syracuse The staff seems to know the DMV area couple that with cages familiarity of the MAAC, maybe they have some one of interest

I'd say doubtful but who knows Definitely be a huge pick up for GH3

Winning basketball!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chatman and Adams had A LOT on their plates I think a lot of their issues this season was because they had to do nearly everything. Take some off their plate and think they would have been good. They just needed help Really the issue I think fans are saying when they say the team will be better without them is, UB will now have a team all playing the same style/same mind set. Last season you had guys trying to play play a more pro style and some playing a more college style Lots of off season to go but as it currently stands my opinion is that we are looking at another three win team Get another point guard and my thoughts will change but until we have more than one point guard UB is in for another long year in my opinion

Billy Donavon has to be the top choice if they can't get Hurley but how long would they wait for Donavon? NBA season goes a bit longer and the bulls should be in the play in game

Danny Hurley seems like a perfect fit at UConn, doesn't come across like a Kentucky coach in my opinion Oates on the other hand to me screams Kentucky

About to be a lot of talk of Oates to Kentucky

Interesting wording on that post "wny native Bryan hodgson" Did a local school beat Arkansas st out for a recruit recently? Or is there a bigger prospect they want or are looking at in the coming year and want their name around with the connection? Probably nothing but just wording but found it interesting

In MAAC news sounds like canisius is hiring either former Kent st coach Jim Christensen or former Bonnie's assistant Steve Curran

It's actually mind boggling to me that mid major schools when they find a top coach at the mid major level they don't shell the money to keep them The money is usually not that crazy in basketball and the way teams get rewarded with money/units from making a tournament appearance the contract will pay for itself

He would fit in well there Hope he doesn't go there though because I want to actually have another interested/rootable team next year to go along with UB

I liked him at the end of the season when they used him in post up spots and some pick n rolls If they find 3 quality pieces to fill out the roster, the team will definitely be very intriguing

Interesting, wonder what kind of interest he will garner in the portal

It's sad but time. The staff had to rebuild an entire roster from top to bottom and without nil doing that in one off season is near impossible I see a team that can last being built rather than a group of guys at a gym playing pick up coming together. Which is what we saw ever since oats left Realistically the first recruiting class GH3 had provided a base - very useful players on a good Mac team but not likely the main pieces. High floor low ceiling type of players. His second class on paper looks to be higher potential a lot more size length and athleticism again continuing the build a base of a team. Hopefully hit on a main piece His third class will be very telling because that's when you absolutely have to bring in legit talent to supplement the base or to put your team over the top
