Thats not what I meant though. I’m talking about through the recruiting process. You have player X being recruited by 5 schools. Then a 6th school comes into the picture. Does the player ever say nah don’t waste your time I won’t even consider you? Instead they run straight to social and post “Blessed to receive an offer from this crap university that I have no interest in.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen stranger things. (If Derrick Lively got an offer from Niagara tomorrow, I don't think he'd post about it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they’ve been in contact with him for a while and just offered. Could be a reason why we haven’t heard much in the recruiting front with him. Hopefully he visits UB soon, Coach Quarles liked the photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee4three Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Maybe the bowling green thing is just him getting inside info to bring back to Ub lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dabulls Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Will be committing at noon per his Instagram, will not be surprised if it’s Bowling Green. Still have a shot at him it looks but haven’t seen much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblue32 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) I don't have any inside info, but I feel pretty confidently that he doesn't have a committable offer from us anymore. Hasn't been any news on him visiting UB after being in his top 5 and our first commit in the class was at the same position. Seems like his recruitment his fallen off after early offers from Minnesota, Oregon, Alabama, Marquette, and us.

DooleyBull06 Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 Crazy how we are getting scooped by BG on a local guy. And BG jumped in late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeseph Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I really hope we were "out" on him if BG lands this commitment. Would not be great for JW and Co. to get scooped by both BG and Ohio back to back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue32 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) 7 months ago he released a top 5 with 4 HM and UB (we originally offered over 3 years ago), then he goes off the map and pops up at BG. Let's apply some common sense here. His recruiting pedigree has continually dropped too starting at 84 in February 2020 and currently sitting at 201 https://247sports.com/PlayerSport/Willie-Lightfoot-at-Sunrise-Christian-256369/RecruitRankHistory/ Edited September 22, 2021 by trueblue32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dabulls Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 We also have a PG committed in his class, might have scared him away. I really don’t care if I guy from the WNY area commits elsewhere, a player goes where they believe they can play the most and see best fit. It has nothing to do with our staffs recruiting abilities, we are still bringing in great talent. Last years class was strong and this years started by grabbing a three star PG. if we don’t land him, on to the next one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dabulls Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 If rankings matter to some of you, Devin Ceaser is rated higher at the pg position than lightfoot according to ESPN. What the team really needs is two small forwards to replace Fagan and Williams. We could always go the transfer route as well to pick up players.

It's a little odd that at the same time that his ranking dropped from 84 to 131, his rating improved from .92 to .93. I guess that just shows how many new players were evaluated for their first time, at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance BG scoops this guy from 4 majors and us if there isn't more to the story. Good luck to him, just not against UB. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee4three Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Most likely more to his recruitment that is publicly known, not often you go from those 4 high majors to bowling green But its still good to see teams in the Mac pick up talent. I want to see the Mac a multi bid league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuchMany Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Could tell there was fire with the smoke. Excited to beat him for four years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
