Interesting!!! I like it!

HC seems “picky” in what types of players he wants. Hopefully he’s found some guys he’s interested in, would like a transfer commitment soon

Took a listen to anquan on instagram live. His friends are pushing him to come to UB it seems. He tried to deflect recruiting questions and just talk to his friend but he finally broke and said UB is his top choice at the moment. Also stated he has another visit planned, probably to eastern. Hopefully UB’s pitch and visit surpass his next

Coach is laying down a foundation with HS recruits, adding a lot of depth. The only hs commit I can see being game ready is Wilson at the moment. Would expect another hs recruit soon (boldin jr possibly) then some transfers or JUCO signees

One of his old coaches is at UTEP, think JUCO if I’m not mistaken

Is Anquan Boldin jr a PG? HC could be trying to become positionless

Was thinking the same thing about his teammate, is being pursued heavily by SMU. Tibbs is currently following him on twitter

For those who like or care for rankings he’s a 3 star via ESPN, 6th best player from Connecticut

6’5 SF, had offers from New Mexico, Manhattan and Robert Morris

Committed to Cal State LA (d2) per his instagram. Probably saw a better chance at playing time. On to the next one!

Bryson Wilson is a three star on espn

Late breakout player. Only did his SR year at IMG. Could be really underrated. Like that coach is going after underrated recruits, could be some gems

Coach Hal has a ton of energy, love it. Both looking good in blue

https://www.ubspectrum.com/article/2023/04/mens-basketball-coach-george-halcovage-iii-on-recruiting-buffalo-pride-and-building-a-lasting-culture?ct=content_open&cv=cbox_featured great article written by the UB news on GH. Good portion on recruiting that basically summarizes that HC is “looking for the right players” that fit his scheme.

Opinion: fully expect Isaiah Fields to commit during or after his visit. We are his only offer at the moment it seems. Sultan is following Pressuti and Tibbs as well as Zaakir and Kanye Jones. I’d expect him to commit in the following week or so. Thinking it’s Iona or us unless another school offers him. I was confident that UB would be a lock but Iona had a larger exodus of transfers and I’m not sure if they have any returning PF’s or one’s already committed. We have Zaakir, Chatman and Smith all battling for playing time at PF currently. Could be less playing time for him at UB unless HC can fit him into rotation or he is a stud.

He was offered officially before the visit

Saw some Nova board saying that they’ve contacted him, yet to offer though. I’m seeing a pattern in the types of guys he’s going after. GH likes length and sharpshooters.

Iona has been getting a slew of commitments recently, not sure if there’s a ton of competition at the PF spot. I think having Zaakir on the team may help sway his decision, especially if they played or know each other well. I could see sultan playing at the SF position if we wanted a taller lineup, got a decent shot it seems.

He kind of got stuck behind a lot of our guards, especially Powell. Kanye looked pretty decent when he was out there

Very much like the Kuluel Mading commitment. He was heavily touted out of HS and was being offered left and right by some big schools. He ended up committing to Howard but decommitted. After his decommit schools lost interest in him and Buffalo came and swooped him up. Sultan’s situation is different but mirrors what Kuluel went through. Hopefully Coach can land him, I believe Tibbs is the lead recruiter on him currently

I wish ceaser stayed, JW barely used him and when he did he was exciting to watch. From what it seems he left on pretty good terms and moved to a team closer to home, can’t hate that decision. Looking forward to keeping up with his time there, had a bit of a Segu type game in him. Wilson plays like Ceaser a bit but is more the size of a wing than PG. think we got two great but overlooked HS guys coming in

Pretty impressive three point shooter, got our Collin Gillespie!!

I wonder if his recruitment slowed because people thought he was going to a military academy

47 best SF in the country. 7th best player in Virginia

ESPN has him rated as a 3 star recruit. Usually 3 star prospects have more offers than just the three others. Great job by the staff finding him. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a 3 star so lightly recruited since Jalen Pickett (yes I know I’m a Siena alum) but it’s incredibly rare
