MuchMany Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Looks like the staff offered Nikita Tyukalo before Christmas, the first D1 school to do so. He's a 6'7 SG/wing from Seattle. He plays for a "prep school" that was created to let kids play outside of covid regulations, but as far as I can tell it's not even a school just a hoops team. He has a sophomore teammate ranked top 50 in his class, so there are eyes on his team. Followed by Presutti on X. Seems like a good outside shooter with some handles, bounce, and energy on D. Staff is going after some tall shooting wings based on this and Brayden Jackson's recruitment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebird96 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Looks like his range from behind the arc is no issue. Would seem to be a good find if we can get him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a bit surprised there aren't more offers for him among West Coast mid majors. Edited February 16 by MuchMany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can’t play for D1 or D2, he’s definitely missing some things that he can fill at JUCO. Nice to know how WOULD have come to Buffalo 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never heard a commitment either. They likely knew there was a potential issue so didn’t announce until they had confirmation. Could have been a nice piece.

We were his only D1 offer so he's obviously not a world-beater, but maybe we keep the relationship up and he comes here in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
