Originally recruited by FLJ Point Guard: Mallory Daly (Pittsburgh, PA) seemingly no D1 offers despite scoring nearly 2k points in high school Point Guard: Aniya Rowe (Rochester, NY) Offers from Manhattan, Canisius, Binghamton Forward: Samairah Thompson (Columbus, OH) don't see anything for D1 offers Possibly Losing (Have Not Seen At Games, Still on Roster): Guard/Forward: Chryssi Gouzelou Edited March 22 by rma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only loss is really Rana. KJ was an inspirational leader and solid in the locker room, but I think we can improve what she provided on the court. i give her huge props playing as a mom, getting her degree and coming back from an Achilles. She could have easily packed it up anywhere along the way, but she didn’t. i wouldn’t mind either her or Rana as GAs to stay around the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBinMD Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Lani Cornfield from Lake Shore HS and member of the Seneca nation is transferring to UB from Southern Mississippi. She will be a Senior. 25.2 mpg. 8.3 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 91 assists, 54 steals. Shot 41.1% FG and 39.6% 3-Pt (best on the team). Tenacious defender. Sounds like a solid add. She is 5'6 and listed as a guard. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullsbball Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 22 hours ago, rma said: Losing: Center: Chanteese Craig (per WBBBlog) No big surprise there. Came into the season way overweight. Played some with a big leg brace on. Then I assume she was injured sitting on the end of the bench (slimmed down). She didn't look too interested in the game as well. Then, just disappeared from the bench around January. Played in only 5 games, went 3-11 and only scored the 3 times in the Drexel game. 0-7 in the other 4 games. She should have been better prepared for the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is 5'6 and listed as a guard. She had a HUGE crowd cheering for her in the SBC-MAC game at alumni arena this year. Usually when we play a team that has a local they’ll bring a handful of family members. She brought a whole section. Joins Josh Mballa as a player to play us one season then join us for the next.

That and Watson vying for leading scorer in the nation and the Bulls legitimate contenders for a MAC championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC_UBfan Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Looking for the team to bring in at least 2 athletic 6”2+ posts from the portal that can rebound, defend and sprint out in transition. Rebounding was the glaring problem that good teams exposed which was largely due to the lack of size. Watching Rana box out and get called for the foul in the Kent game was it for me. I hope no one goes in the portal🤞🤘 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have enough scoring, but in addition to our rebounding issues, the press was not our friend. I think Lopez will do well, but we need some assistance as well.

NC_UBfan Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Eastern Michigan Jr Tayra Eke 6’3 C(All Mac Defense) and Jr Treasure Thompson 6’2 F are both in the portal. Both would fit the need of an athletic post presence. I follow WBB Blog great source of transfer and signings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but it will be interesting to see what Syracuse looks like without Fair. I know FLJ has brought in some players, but their first round of the NCAA would have been a loss, except Fair outscored the opponent 13-3 by herself to end the game. They made it exactly as far as they likely would have had they all stayed in the MAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sad, you do great things at a mid major and nobody seems to care, do the same thing in the ACC and you’re ranked. Same team, same coach, same results, way different publicity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking more close Buffalo ties, but I'm assuming also high level of talent. I'm not familiar enough with what is out there, but the one that immediately came to mind was Amari DeBerry from Williamsville, currently at UConn. She's 6'6" and would be a major difference maker in the MAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same team, same coach, same results, way different publicity. Yep! All perception of what is great. Coach wins ACC Coach of the Year, Fair gets some accolades, but the core is essentially the same (Fair & Wooley still 1-2 punch). They are a year more mature, so yes they are improved, which they would have at UB. I would have expected a Sweet 16 at least, but maybe I had too high of expectations. If you can get to a Sweet 16 at UB, you should certainly be able to do it at Syracuse with a Top 10 player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don’t think we have her major, unless she has her degree already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC_UBfan Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) Here is the BOOM!! UB signs 6'2 W Jaylin Hartman FR from GW. Much needed length, athleticism and has 3yrs of eligibility. Not sure of the remaining available scholarships but I hope they can bringing in at least one more portal 6'2+ defender/rim runner for added depth. The incoming freshmen class looks talented, Brianna Barr-Budday 6'2" local phenom, Aniya Rowe 5'9 McDonalds all American nominee and Mallory Daly 5'8" 2k point scored, if the existing freshmen take the next step over the summer same w/ Ogden and Watson I'm booking my trip to Cleveland early🤣🤘 https://www.instagram.com/p/C5FDcTzgpsH/ Edited March 29 by NC_UBfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like she got lost on the bench at GW. I'm guessing she will get plenty of PT next year. Will be good to have some size and rebounding acumen.
