I don't pretend to know quality of this recruit, but Indian Hills ranked #12 in country, and this guy is 6'5" PG shot nearly 40% from three while averaging over 5 rebounds and assists per game. Also some decent teams talking to him, I figure might as well talk to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully his name and experience help us recruit JUCO players across the country. Some teams don’t realize the talent pool in the juco ranks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee4three Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Indian hills was that hodgson's school? I feel like we have had a player or 2 from there recently Like the teams also interested in Jones, solid mid majors who always seem to develop players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 From his highlight tape, that Jones kid looks like he can play. Looks like the type of player we need. 4 years of eligibility is a plus too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooleyBull06 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 This is exactly the type of player, position and philosophy of recruiting I was hoping for. A JUCO PG who can come in right away and contribute but not expect to be given a starting job like a transfer. And a true freshman PG who if signs can grow and develop into the future starting PG. hope we get them both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddell is super nice, but just got an offer from Purdue, that's a done deal being from the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKBullsfan Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 It’s kinda funny how we are all glued to the recruiting beat and there is absolutely nothing as far as commitments yet. Recruiting is key to a basketball program’s success long term and the silence so far should speak volumes. I guess it’s wait and see but the more time goes by and we don’t have anything the more concerned we should be if we are headed in the right direction. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am as eager to hear of commitments as the next person. But keep in mind we did not get a commit from Josh Mballa until June 6th I believe. I think it is fair to day everyone is happy with that commit. My stance continues to be wait and see who the team is able to sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may ultimately have to say that the staff missed in their recruiting, but I still prefer to get the facts first. We are still seeing names mentioned who on paper seem like good options, so I remain optimistic. As for costing our coach, I thought that was related to the waiver process. I didn't recall allegations that our recruiting was irregular. Did I miss something? Edited April 11, 2021 by DocCas86 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that what was missed? I'd call that irregular recruiting to be able to promise a player they will get cleared, go through any means to get it done, be the selected transfer school because of this and have no other coach realize what is going on. I was aware of first part but confess didn't see the broader scope. Thank you for clarifying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that what happened? Did Mballa come here because they “promise a player they will get cleared”? Or is that a fabrication. I honestly don’t know and am asking. With your ax to grind with the administration however it wouldn’t surprise me that you’re just saying whatever you want to make them look as bad as possible.

The only thing I read in there is that Texas tech assured Buffalo that they’d help facilitate the process. Maybe I missed it but I don’t see anywhere that it says Mballa came here because he was told he’d get cleared to play right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
