The AE isn't exactly a place these kids want to play in .
Sounds like two high mid major talents and we will probably lose
both .

I can't fault a kid for looking at AAC and A10 schools over the
AE. You expect that.
Losing kids to Fordham, Hofstra, and Weber St.?? Now that
stings.

Policelli looks like he could be a stud at the AE level- would
love to see him at Stony Brook. Great height and ball-handling
combination.
There's something to be said to being the focus of this team.
Will see- Boals has pulled in some good talent the last couple
years.

Thanks for that update, checkmate. I wont hold my breath with
expecting Policelli neither. We are up against some pretty
strong mid major schools..

Aaaaand Kupsas is going to Weber State.

/>Different strokes, different folks, I guess.
I like this kid Tre King who's down at Hargrave with Moor. He
may be out of our league, but maybe the HMA connection and the
chance to play with a teammate sways his opinion somehow.
Whatever we do with the last scholarship, we have to bulk up.
Right now, we're looking at a hardly used sophomore (Ochefu) and
a freshman (Christie) in the paint next year.

Another big body will help for sure. So a high talent goes to
Weber State out in the middle of nowhere to play basketball .
Don't understand that at all considering Fordham and Hofstra
are at least in an urban area.

I don't know much about him, but I'm hoping we can land Jeffrey
Otchere. Junior College kid and former Canisius and Delaware
State commit with three years of eligibility left.

Jeff Otchere is a better option than any 2018 SBU recruit
regardless of position. Past recruit or current. His upside is
higher than Warney's was.
He leads the entire country in blocks on the JUCO level. His
defense is considerably ahead of his offense, he'd shatter the
Block record. His motor is tremendous. Plays hard every single
possession. Freakish athlete. Stands 6'11 with a 7'5
wingspan.Primetime Run and jump athlete. Kid can switch onto
guards and perimeter players in pick and roll and contain them
with no issue. He plays in the Jayhawk confernce in Juco (Top 3
juco conference in the land). That's where assistant coach Geno
Ford used to go and get all those Juco studs while he was the
head man at Bradley.
The kids offense (Jump shot,Feel and Pace,ball handling) need
big improvement. But his defense is something you NEVER see in
the AE.
He's got offers from all over the country now but really would
love to see him be a Seawolf.

From what I've gathered by speaking to people in the know.
OTCHERE is a late bloomer with only 3 or 4 years of basketball
experience,Grew 10 inches in High school. Born and raised in
Bronx,NY. Attended a prep school for a post grad year to get his
grades in order (15-16 season). Committed to Delaware state and
attended during the 16-17 year. Didn't Qualify so he had to Prop
48/Redshirt there that year. Decided to head to Juco for a year
and compete as a Redshirt Freshman ,leave with an AA degree and
have 3 years at D1. From all accounts he's a quiet to himself
kind of kid, that just gets after it.
Here's Film:

10 seconds of film was all i needed. where do i sign up? can i
take this kid out to dinner and tell him all the benefits of
going to SB?
i've been aware of him on our radar but didnt know much, so this
is useful information, thanks Ball.

sorry just wanted to add- he plays in the paint with an
aggressive, almost violent intensity, reminiscent of warney.
it's exactly what we need inside.
