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.

I’m unfamiliar with the NBL but he put up really strong numbers there. Seemed like he was also playing against men a lot older than him. We still have one more open scholarship to fill the PG spot, Hal has said he’d like to play positionless so maybe one of the other freshman can develop there as well

Boldin played some PG at IMG, would transition to SG as well

 Great article on Coach Hal’s time at UB. Highlights everything you need to know.

Whoa there moneybags, since when is Elmo's not a fancy restaurant?

So I talked to my friend on the team about it. He said that Mo sat the two players down and kicked them off the team, is also making them work at a local animal shelter as volunteers. Coach also showed the rest of the team the video of the dog beating and warned any acts such as that are completely unacceptable.

Could be just he is or was in town and looking to play pick up or get in a higher quality game than just a normal gym 

But his game resembles more of what the new staff looks for than the previous one in my opinion 

His upside is huge. I could also see Coach grabbing another JUCO or even a d2 guy. It’s getting a bit late so I’m hoping we have an announcement soon

Any speculation on transfers? Haven’t seen or heard anything. Really need a PG to pair with Fulcher. I’d love to see Willie Lightfoot come home. He played decently in limited minutes. He’d fit perfectly with coach trying to grow a team over time. 

Saw pressuti, Famakinde and Zaakir follow him on Instagram . Might not mean a whole lot though

I don't recall seeing Richard listed.  6'8" PF from Brooklyn with offers from TCU, Nebraska and Akron among others.

Coach Hal and staff really like their NYC guys. Brisco, Hogarth and new Bull Fulcher are from around the same area I believe 

2024 6’6 SG, same AAU team as Hogarth. Has offers from Siena, Vermont, Davidson, Richmond and Miami Ohio amongst a few other mid majors

2024  6’9 SF/PF from south Kent school. Has offers from St John’s, Creighton, Bona, Maryland, Fairfield and Maine. 
 

appears to be good friends with Diovion Famakinde, he shouted him out on instagram

Hopefully soon we will have another new Bull settling in on campus. Eager to see who we bring in with the two open spots

Former top 100 recruit is always nice to add

Why a third transfer? Is he eligible right away? Assuming Maryland was due to coaching change

That’s my fear is he’ll have to sit. I saw that he was originally an early entrant at Maryland, Graduated early. I’m guessing it was due to coaching change or playing time

Ronaldo Segu made Boeheim have a pure meltdown 😂😂

Ballislife, Slam magazine (their social media), and Sports illustrated all have been raving about Anquan. Think we got a good one guys and gals

I didn't see any mention of visit other than UB on his Twitter.  Does anyone have any info on that?  Or is a lack of visit mention a good sign for a commit today?

Looked at EMU fan board and didn't see much mention of Boldin.  However there was a fair amount of chatter about disappointment with Heath.  He has fallen a ways from a year ago when people were talking about the great transfers, including Bates.

He might have decided to not go. I also saw a New Mexico State fan post on his commitment timeline announcement, odd because I haven’t seen any mention of the offering him. He went on Instagram live last night with his friends and they all said he’s going to UB. He laughed and told his friends “y’all got a crystal ball or something?”. Pretty confident he’s a UB Bull from what I hear and see

Committing tomorrow, UB basketball’s twitter is following him. If I’m going to guess he’s already committed and is waiting to announce to the public 

If you’re interested in his highlights, follow him on IG his profile is 6hawn._

A third-team, D2 JUCO All-American. Nice honor. Top 50 JUCO freshman is solid but he doesn't appear on the top 100 JUCO recruits heading to D1. I like the player from what I can tell, but seeing guys like RayJ Dennis, Sincere Carry, Jason Preston, Ryan Rollins, Mark Sears, etc boss the MAC...it's just a different level imo. Grabbing a guy like Jayden Reid, who just went to USF, is the type of commit that would grab my attention.

Transfers like Adams and freshmen like Ceasar were a different level than what this staff has recruited so far imo. Ceasar was an elite player in the league that Bryson Wilson is coming from. I'm sure our recruiting will pick up and I'm on board with building a roster without taking shortcuts, but for me it's just been a reality check of where we are reputationally, granted it's late in this cycle. Still excited to see how the group comes together. I'm just a little wary of this season's outlook at this point and trying to gauge my expectations (as an eternal optimist).

He'd be at Rutgers or Seton Hall if those offers were real and current. His offer from Chattanooga got pulled because they got someone else. I like his slashing, finishing, and underdog story and background. But Rondo was hardly good and big enough to be a star guard at this level. Hard to expect this kid to match his level.

Looking at the recruits so far in terms of rankings we have two three stars in Wilson and Famakinde, Sabol who’s under recruited but plays in the same league as Wilson. Finally Fulcher who was under recruited in JUCO but had solid offers out of HS. Overall it’s not a bad class so far, they’re young so hopefully HC can gel them together as they get older. That seems to be his vision 

It’s late in the recruiting cycle. Also he was offered by Rutgers and seton hall… he’s not a shooter, he’s a slasher who gets to the basket. Averaging nearly 17 ppg and being a slasher in nothing to sneeze at. We gotta remember that stars don’t matter that much, Preston and massinburg were heavily under recruited. Just build chemistry to be competitive

Lot of Segu in there! Some electricity in the guard group is never a bad thing. 25% from three is going to need to improve for sure.

Beat me to it 😂😂

The basketball page “Overtime” likes him as well, posted a few videos of him crossing guys up. Do I dare say he’s a Segu like PG?

Also held offers from Rutgers and Manhattan according to Rivals, not sure why verbal commits didn’t have that. His twitter also has an offer from seton hall
