BasketBull Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 UB has updated the official roster on their website for the '19-20 season: https://ubbulls.com/roster.aspx?path=mbball New numbers: Nickleberry will wear # 0 Grant will wear # 1 A. Johnson will wear # 2 Gallion will wear # 5 Hardnett will wear # 22 Mballa will wear # 34 Skogman will wear # 42 As for height and weight, it doesn't look like they've updated anything for the existing players from last year's listed numbers. Gallion is listed at 6'4, Mballa 6'7, Nickelberry 6'7, Hardnett 6'8, and Skogman 6'10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGBull Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Could this mean that Mballa will be playing? I might be wrong, but I thought that Johnson and Grant didn't have numbers on the website last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed. Edited August 1, 2019 by DocCas86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be great if he does play this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineBull Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I have been hesitant to believe Mballa will receive a waiver to play this year. This news however, does seem to imply he will be playing right away. If Mballa plays this year we are a legit threat to win the MAC again and could be looking at another year with a win in the first round of the tournament. Lets not forget Mballa was getting minutes in the tournament on the national championship runner up last year. His ability to run the floor and finish and defend will be a game changer for this team. I am anxious to get confirmation on this news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then would come the painful part, having to pay Pat Reilly to use Threepeat on T-shirts and hats. He owns the trademark to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeseph Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I don't know the story here but Silverio averaged 7.8mpg last year and got a waiver, could this be a good sign for Mballa? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking into it, it appears to be similar situations. I don’t see why Mballa shouldn’t be granted one then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
