Blocker signing with the coach that picked GSU also would be fun.

All quiet in the Western (New York, north of Olean) Front

I think we're just getting anxious at the lack of "names on the board" despite the flurry of activity in the Transfer Portal and the gaps or (hopefully not) instability in the roster moving forward.

I doubt it's a guarantee. Coaches probably look at potential transfers like any other recruit in this situation (we want to fill a spot with this player but we can't bank on it until they're [re]committed).

🤯

First off: I'm not doubting you. Can anybody confirm, with confidence, whether or not the staff is currently allowed to recruit (virtual or not)?

I'm a mod but I'm one of the evil ones so I try to take a minimalist approach... I'll do my best to clean this thread up and move the non-portal stuff to other threads. EDIT: Ok done. Anybody that posts any positive JW comments in any threads from this point forward will get banned (jk I can't even ban people)

Hopefully the Nowheresville kid is still available in 27 days

I guess they ran out of coffee in Olean

👍🏻

So many names entering the portal makes me anxious. On the other end I hope our staff is reaching out...

he brought us "BANG Filzen for 3!" that's all I could ever ask for

Filzen 2.0?

3 years seems fair, agreed. That being said it stresses me out that I don't see a lot of reason to feel that we're headed in the right direction with what is turning out to be a "rebuild". We had issues with depth this year and have a ton of [key] players headed out next year and question marks at some key positions for 21-22. This is going to be a huge lift on the recruiting front just to maintain stability let alone build toward future conference championships (yes, I believe that in the MAC this is the only acceptable goal). I don't know that I've seen it? We seems to see the same issues with in-game performance: turnovers, scoring droughts, FT shooting, offensive flow, clock management, half time adjustments. I get that there are ways to chart efficiencies that look advantageous but it has to lead to winning against decent or better teams for it to matter.

Being upset with our first home first round loss and a season filled with only 2-3 wins against decent teams doesn’t equate to expecting every coach to be Oats.

Can we stop acting like making the MAC finals is noteworthy? If we’re a second rate mid major and that’s our ceiling I’m not interested. We (I loved Reggie, look at my stupid avatar from the 2006 home game against Ohio) accepted it during the Reggie era because we had previously sucked an were new to the MAC. The only reason to accept that as the ceiling now is to accept that our administration doesn’t care to invest in further success. I donate because I want more. If they don’t want more I’ll just be a casual fan of a casual program.

5-10 to end the season.... YIKES

Toledo has 3 in the portal. Akron's Reece to transfer.

What a year for BG....

Sustained success and investment in winning all help with this. We’re somewhat lucky that we didn’t have crowds this year with the losses at home. If that gets fixed alone... our record greatly improves, our fans get to see fun basketball and the support grows.

Now we get all of the money!

Not a single member of this forum wants him to fail. I’m begging him to make this thread look like nonsense.
