MuchMany Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Not a surprise, as we'll have to get some players eventually, but I saw Tibbs say in his Instagram comments that he'll be on the road recruiting the weekend of April 21st. That's the end of a quiet period with a dozen AAU tournaments around the country.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UB Horns Up Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Notice how new UB Bulls basketball coach George Halcovage went to the New Era store in Buffalo to buy a Buffalo Bisons hat today. George Halcovage is off to a great start public relations wise at least he gets it. I truly think the answer for UB Bulls athletics going forward into the future is having a transfer portal for UB alumni to go into that wanted all things āMr Wonderfulā Danny White and New Yorking everything UB. I think those wanting that transfer to Stony Brook your degrees can be the New York Seawolves and the rest of us can be the Buffalo Bulls. I think that is the best solution those that want that can have your āMr WonderfulāĀ Fantasies at Stony Brook University. I will help you all pack you wonāt be missed with that New York mindset. Buffalo, Western New York forever inĀ my opinion. UB Horns Up! Go Bulls! Letās Go BuffaloĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point being, you want the Alumni Association to send out emails about UB Basketball. By your logic, UB Basketball should be sending out emails about UB (e.g. Distinguished Speaker Series). Have you tried to login to your "UB Direct" account and make sure you have access to the UB Bulls Email information?Ā The link is "ub-connect.com".Ā Ā There are instructions on how to register and how to sign-in. You can then go to your profile and select which types of emails you want to receive from UB. Back to the original point, you will have many opportunities going forward to meet the new coach.Ā Ā Edited April 10, 2023 by bullsbball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UB has Alumni has very high net worth people. They have no idea this forum exists. They also don't care it exists, will put no effort into visiting this forum, nor think about it ever.Ā What they do have is money that they are willing to spend. We need to do much better outreach. A meet and greet with the new Mens Basketball coach isn't a Men's Basketball event. That is thinking mid to low major. It should be considered a major university event and treat as such.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more specialized lists, such as athletics, should only send out news specific to their area of interest, so no Distinguished Speaker SeriesĀ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
