HomeyG Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 It doesn’t look good. Could just be that normal Buffalo paranoia... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He likely planned to take the weekend to make his decision. I am expecting something tomorrow. As for OSU, I looked at their fan site and they aren't really talking about Nigel on the site. Just be patient and stay positive. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBulls Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Also could be waiting to make sure UB (or other schools) clear him academically- not saying he wouldn’t qualify, but I imagine it can be more difficult for an admissions or compliance department to document coursework when a scholar athlete was home schooled.

961819 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 At this point I feel like this has to be an academics thing like McBulls said. Transferring credits from one college to another is hard enough, throw homeschooling in the mix and it’s probably a mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, hopefully he ends up coming to UB though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
961819 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Well he updated his twitter profile picture. That’s about it as far as news lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeseph Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I'm no longer optimistic on this one - too much time (I know it's only been a few days but it's 2019 lol) has passed since his visit without a commitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UB05 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 He also “liked” a whole bunch of TCU posts.... wonder if they’re coming in with a late offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBulls Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Not sure where TCU has the room- already have 15 signed for next year. But these days you just never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gxtrex Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Any updates on this kid? If not, who else might we be targeting for this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UB05 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 FWIW, Oklahoma state just signed a power forward from the Netherlands. Hopefully they got tired of waiting. Either way I’d think it only helps our chances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
961819 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Has TCU officially offered? Gotta think the staff has moved on from him already since he seems content with waiting for a late big offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At worst we pocket a scholarship, something a lot of us were expecting anyway. If I’m the coaching staff, I tell him “our last scholarship is for you, we’re not using it on anyone else” and play chicken with the bigger schools as they get tired of waiting and move on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard is a lot higher now for the team as a whole. Going into the season following the best season in school history without an adequate forward would make a significant impact on a team that last year was already thin at the position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeseph Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Arkansas seems interested as well - I'm pretty sure they just watch our recruiting targets to develop their own at this point... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That tweet about Arkansas' interest also mentions the possibility that John doesn't sign anywhere this year and reclassifies to 2020...either way I'm not holding my breath on him coming here.

MDBullsfan89 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Guess he might be reclassifying after all? His Twitter lists him as a '20 prospect now. Homeschool/prep school flexibility perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
