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

Rated 7th best player in Virginia, that wingspan is insane!

His team is really stacked and young. Seems to be a top of the scoresheet every game, surprised nobody else offered him unless his game really took off this year in particular. I saw one of his teammates is committed to Harvard. from what I’ve read and watched he’s a three point shooter, whether it’s spot up or pick and pop. Has really good range and decent ball handle. He’s Collin Gillespie type player

Isn’t Jay Wrights offense a lot of ball screens? Players like Gordon could thrive in that, especially if they like to shoot the two pointers

Jason Preston as well. Saw that he’s averaging more points in AAU than in HS. Not uncommon but it gives you the sense that he’s actually “good” and can score against decent competition. He also has a fairly clean shooting stroke. Hopefully we land him, definitely a person I can see being loyal to the program. Interested in seeing who else we offer, will get a sense of what Coach is looking for in a player

Haha I totally read right over that lol. I did some digging, people seem to think he’s pretty damn good. He’s played really well in some showcases and is considered a “sleeper”. I trust George with his recruiting. He’s seen some great recruits in his time

From what I see on film he’s a lot like Zid Powell, drives the rim hard and throws down some monster dunks. Also has some decent defensive abilities. Definitely someone I can see developing in a system. Looks like his team is fairly stacked. Have a 4 star guard on the team as well

Could be a combo of both, not sure what year he is

I played ACHA hockey for Siena, the talent in our league was incredible. Probably not d1 good but we could definitely compete at the d3 level. ACHA is a lot like the NAIA, under recruited players who are absolute “dogs” as some would say 😂

I’d love to see D1 hockey at UB, would keep some High level talent from the Buffalo and Rochester area around. Surprised Oswego isn’t in the mix for a d1 hockey program, they’re better than some d1 programs. On a UB basketball note lol… hoping to hear some offers and 🤞a transfer/commitment this week. Hopefully Halcovage becomes a bit more open in his recruiting efforts.

We should be happy we have D1 athletics, very few SUNY schools do. The University at Buffalo is the poster child for SUNY, the only schools that come anywhere near close to UB’s pedigree is Stony Brook and Binghamton. I’d love to see UB go to a major conference but it’s not going to happen, unless we drop SUNY. And dropping SUNY I can’t see happening

I know it’s early into HC’s time here at Buffalo but I’m wondering how long it will take until we see some transfers/commitments? Gotta think he’s been making some calls. Hopefully coach Halcovage is a bit like Burke and tweets out something if a commitment is made. Hated that Whitesell had no energy online (as well as on the court)

It could be simply that Halcovage told Jack that he may not be a right fit, especially with the timing. @DooleyBull06 may be right, the quicker coach gets “his” types of guys here. The sooner we will be good

Liked what I heard from Halcovage. Short, sweet and to the point. Seems to have a ton of enthusiasm and a willingness to succeed. I’m intrigued to see the types of players he will bring in through the portal and the types of recruits he will go after. Seemed to hint that he’s already started his recruiting ventures. Also excited to see who he will bring in as assistants

Wonder if this gets Jeenathan’s jersey retired at Alumni? Second UB player to make the NBA, highest rated recruit and all around great player. He’s making Buffalo and his hometown/city of Rochester proud

Let’s turn jack into our Hunter Dickinson. Jack played really well as a true freshman, just needs to get a bit better defensively which comes with time for young centers.

I feel the same, I liked his defensive abilities and of course his vicious dunks but he wasn’t the greatest team player. I could see him at Iona, they’ve been the Kings of the MAAC for a while. Really only St Peters and Siena are their biggest competitors. When I was at Siena, Iona always had a powerful guard who could drive the to the basket with authority. If their system doesn’t change with their new HC he’d be a perfect fit

1- Caesar looks like Powell is close to transferring as well, getting some big time looks

Seeing Jalen Brunson, a guy I love watching for my NY Knicks, shouting him out is incredible

Being in the MAC he’d be able to recruit more higher end mid major talent than at Nicholls. However he did bring in a 4 star transfer SF the past season. He also heavily recruited JUCO players there, which is fairly common for low mid majors. Won the conference championship in 21 and 22. Was also voted the top coach in the Southland conference in 2021

90-60 head coaching career. Only 33 years old. I don’t mind this at all

Is it to the point where Alnutt is going to have to get on his hands and knees and beg for someone to take the HC position?

Only reason I think this is positive is due to recruiting and ties in the bball community. You’re exactly right, this would be a shocking hire but I’m for it if it gets us a new HC

I will slap my grandma if he signs as HC. And here’s hoping
