2018 Recruiting

Figured I would get this thread started. This is huge class for
Stony Brook as the team currently has 6 Juniors on the roster
they'll be replacing these guys. That said the coaching staff
has really hit the ground running with a reported 34 offers out
according to verbal commits
(

Most recently the offered Brandon Stone and I really hope we
land this kid.

I can't believe he doesn't already have a slew of high major
offers.

Now that's what we need. I'm sure he will grow a bit between
now and when he graduates . Sign him as early as possible.

I agree that Coach B. has certainly been aggressive with offers
for this class. The good news is that many of the kids that
he's going after appear to be a step up from what SBU has
pursued in the past (with rare exceptions, of course). On the
other hand, the quality of these players makes it a lower
probability for the Seawolves to actually end up with them.
This kid Brandon Stone is a good example.
Yes, he would be an outstanding get. But, the likelihood is
low. While he has no major conference offers to date, he has
already expressed desires to perhaps play for West Virginia or
Pitt, and will be visiting both shortly. So, maybe this
explains why Boals is going after so many candidates for this
class, including several excellent bigs--see Nance, Alexander,
Forrester. He probably figures that all he needs are one or two
unexpected terrific hits across all positions (a la Warney).

Yeah this is why I like that Boals seems to be casting a wide
net. The more recruits you talk to and offer, the more likely
you'll find a kid that isn't a conference snob and likes the
idea of being a big fish in a small pond.

Dwayne Cohill, the 57th ranked player in the 2018 class
according to ESPN, liked a tweet about our win today (see
attachment). Now I think it's unlikely we actually land Cohill,
but it's awesome to see Stony Brook is still on his radar
despite all the high major offers he holds.
I love what the coaching staff is doing on the recruiting trail.

Anyone know anything about Samba Diallo? 4 star recruit that
SBU has a scholarship offer out to and he doesn't have any
offers from high-major schools.

A 4 Star recruit would be great in the AE . We keep going
after at high level recruits all we need is one maybe two to
make things happen at this level . Gotta love our recruiting
attitude .

Well looks like we have an offer to another 4 star recruit.
Tavon Jones. Will be hard to convince him to come here, he
already has Big East offer from Seton Hall.. and probably will
get more major offers. But agree with you that we gotta love the
recruiting attitude. Coach Boals has tweeted few times since
joining Stony Brook, that recruits should find the best fit..
highest level isn't always best fit... over 1400 transfers in
last 2 years!
