Dabulls

So I met with a former player the other day, one of my best friends as well. He had played under Leopold and Linguist. He didn’t have many great things to say about linguist at all. He said the majority of the team didn’t like his coaching style and said he was very unorganized. My friend also told me that he had full control of the offense and didn’t let the OC do much if at all. He’s now ran out of eligibility but still gets to practice with the team during spring ball. He loves Lembo and the consensus around the team is that Lembo is a great coach who gets along well with his players. My friend thinks the team is in really good hands with him

THIS***** exactly what I’m thinking!!! Players like Sabol, Boldin and Wilson, even though under recruited showed that they can improve and play in the MAC. Our young players will only get better

He’s trying to build a team from the ground up, build chemistry and hope the majority stick together. I know he’s not going out and getting high end 3 stars like Oats and even Whitesell could pull but I still trust his judgement. He’s going through a development route

From the videos on his twitter he puts up decent numbers on a stacked team. I believe Long Island Lutheran was ranked as the second best team in prep basketball this season. He is one of the starters. Two of his teammates are top 100 in the country

Gray had an insanely strong arm in the spring game last year. However, he didn’t pass often. Ogbonna showed flashes last year but he doesn’t have much arm talent. I’d expect it to be 1.gray, 2. Ogbonna, 3. Watts. Especially if the new HC and OC want to open up the passing game more.

Would be an okay depth piece, would rather go after a true PG or Center though

I like having a ton of size but I totally get what you are saying, just having another PG who can also play the SG position would help a ton! We also do need a true center, we have height but not that type of height, unless Oboh is a complete stud we really need help there as well

Some incomers like Jackson and Akot also play the SG position. We need a PG and Center transfer next. Many players can be interchangeable on the floor

I know I keep adding but I watched a lot of his highlights because Syracuse had a ton of interest in him out of HS. He was known as a dead eye three point shooter who also had quite a bit of athleticism. Can be moved around from the SF to PF position depending on matchups. I know on paper his stats don’t jump off the page but this dude can ball

Yes, was heavily recruited in HS. Held offers from Memphis, Florida and Clemson as well

Decent depth piece, didn’t find much time at Maryland. He was a deadly shooter in HS at IMG.

I believe Jack played in this as well, there is some insane talent in these teams

If the team preforms better next year I’d consider it. Some of our freshmen were pretty impressive at times this year, they’ll only get better. Just need to hit the portal hard and find some players to surround them with. The young guys seem very bought into the process so I think they’ll stay for the ride. I’d go and grab another transfer center and PG instead of another freshman

A lot of Canadian players go under the radar, especially if they stay up in Canada for HS. This kid is an absolute baller

Watched some of his highlights, he’s insanely dominant at his level. Looks easy for him. When playing against competition at a higher level he still looks very comfortable, especially playing for Britain’s u-18 team. He’s arguably one of Englands top prospects. We will have to see how it translates to American college ball but he reminds me of a taller Mballa, has a ton of size

Committed!!!!

Was on campus for his visit today

Yeah this is bad….

In other news. UB’s next opponent (south Alabama) is currently being manhandled by a naia school

BG just lost to a D2 team so I’m not too worried. Daemen is also very senior laden with a ton of experience. They played Cuse very well for a while. Also Cuse lost to lemoyne in an exhibition the year they went to the final four. Exhibition games are times to try new lineups, plays and get freshman some time. I’ll save the majority of my thoughts until the regular season. I don’t expect much from this team other than to improve as time goes on. They have talent so if they can stick together for the next couple years we may have a pretty scary team to come

@UBinMDso have I, if they need a 6’3 PF with no handles, jump shot or defensive ability I’m their man. 😂😂

He’s liked a few UB basketball posts on twitter since his visit as well if that means anything

Jim is a decent recruiter, even though some players may not live to expectations. I wish him the best there, Albany has had some good teams in the past

They may not win but they’ll play well against Liberty. The team will be hungry to show out.
