He a young man who wants to see if he can go to a power program and get more than one team into the big dance. I would do the same if I was him. As said by many on this thread and other welcome to college basketball 2022 Time will tell. He’s a stand up guy for saying that tbh. Wish him the best whatever it is.

It seems to me from the times I have heard him speak, he seems like a genuinely nice guy and very polite. I think he’s just seeing what’s out there. I don’t know that he’s “big timing” this.

bulls2684 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 17 hours ago, UBminicre said: I’ve said numerous times in different threads, whitesell def gets credit for holding the team around. Agreed it was unlikely all those guys stayed but they did. No doubt. However, there is a possibility that can’t be ignored… a guy like Skogman doesn’t want to play for him anymore. It’s certainly possible. Could be a combo of thinking he’s worth more and not wanting to play for a 100% rebuild. Anything is possible. It’s common for players to go into the portal as evidence by amount of players going in, but again the reason I find this one odd is because it was Skogman’s team now with unlimited minutes. I for one don’t think he will do much better then UB, so in my opinion if he goes to a lateral school or lower one, I think that will say a lot about his current relationship with Whitesell. Just my speculation - To be continued. I agree with you that whitesell should be gone, however I don’t think it’s fair to say he doesn’t want to play for him. As of now he’s the only UB player in the portal, and he’s one of 1,000 other players in the portal. He’s just exploring his opportunities. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chet Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I'd be surprised if Skogman leaves. I really would. I would honestly bet that he stays. Who wants to put $10 on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with him possibly wanting to go to Marqutee or Wisconsin, but that seems unlikely. I would be shocked if he's not the absolute focus of our offense next year if he does return. I'm fine with players testing portal. It's the way it. Complaining about it is absolutely pointless. It like anything else in life......have to embrace change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pending clearinghouse approval (@BrooklynBull) I'll take that wager. 🤝 I just think he's too good not to end up at somewhere like Butler, Loyola, DePaul, Creighton, Northern Iowa, etc, even if he can't jump to the B1G. I'll happily pay $10 to be wrong though and have him stay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Wouldn't it be tremendous if Skogman comes back?? He flashed so much this season. I think he could be an all time great by the time he graduates. I believe Skogman is in UB School of Management and the the school is accredited The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. This prestigious accreditation is considered to be the hallmark of management education. Of more than 16,000 business schools worldwide, less than 5% are accredited by AACSB International. There are definitely strong reasons for him to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee4three Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Huge pick up for Davidson The play style of the A10 I think fits skogman better than ub at the moment He has developed into a more half court set/back to the basket player rather than the run and gun transition offense that ub likes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 He’s going to be so good for them. Really disappointed he’s leaving but hard to blame him with the way whitesell is running things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblue32 Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share Posted April 22, 2022 Kellen Grady had to leave Davidson last year because they didn’t have any grad programs for him to enroll in, so someone transferring there 3 years into school seems odd. Basketball wise it’s a good fit, Davidson loves their shooters. Wish him the best, and may he hand Bona some losses next year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrabukes Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Big loss. Returning basically no one with minutes/scoring from this past season now. Probably is the new normal though, and not just for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markchicago Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 A good example of a good basketball player and solid individual. He appeared to have embraced the team and experience. He was highly rated out of high school and has developed more each year and expected to a central player for 2 more years. I am not sure we will know the real reason that motivated this decision. We are starting from scratch for next year. Hopefully our recruits from last year and still to be determined new players this year will collectively find some magic in a fluid MAC environment. This is a challenge for the coaches and players Go bulls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBinMD Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 NCAA should convert to playground pickup starting next year. Get a pool of 5,000-6,000 players, all 300+ D1 teams participate in a snake draft. Pick 12-14 per team and see what happens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
