RapidsFan Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) Buffalo has a new ABA semi-pro team that begins play in November: https://www.buffaloextreme.com/ I have a lot of happy memories of this forum supporting the ABA Buffalo Rapids years ago - the eXtreme are coached by UB alumni Rich Jacob who formerly coached the Rapids. This new team is owned by former Canisius captain Darren Fenn and plays at his XGen training complex in West Seneca, so unlike prior ABA teams in Buffalo they seem to be on solid ground. So far they've announced Javon McCrea (Buffalo) and Jon Bailey (Wisconsin Lutheran) as their first signings. https://www.instagram.com/buffaloextremeaba/ https://facebook.com/buffaloextremeABA Edited February 19 by RapidsFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChubbyHubby Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I didn't realize Rich Jacob was a UB Alum. He was on the NCCC basketball team that went to the Juco finals in 1977. He was also a teammate of mine on the Ntrip baseball team. His bio doesn't list UB. Looking forward to seeing him work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xDerekRx Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Nice to see Javon playing well. And yes I remember going to some Rapids/Silverbacks etc games when they were here and guys like Battle and Duaney were on the roster. Good memories there. Might have to make it out to one of these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
