       I've been told Boals and Ford are all over that kid and that he
       isn't so enamored by bigger schools coming after him. He's got
       15 plus offers, some WAC and A10 level stuff, and being in that
       Juco conference, doing what he does and having the upside he has
       it's only a matter of days/weeks before Big12,SEC,PAC 12 get on
       him.
       Don't know how exactly SBU gets that potential Stud to come back
       home, but being a late bloomer and not being in awe of big name
       programs has been a recipe in the past for some special players
       to end up at lower level D1's.

       looking at the list- id have to think that our likely
       competition is NMSU, fordham, southern miss, ODU.  and only one
       is even close to local.
       i note that as it stands- there are virtually no bigs in his way
       in the next three seasons.

       Great info  on this recruit if we can land him .  That is just
       what we need up front  . A couple years dominating in the paint
       again and off the glass .

       Super Aggressive with a super motor. If anyone remembers 2015
       recruit that attended high school in Long Island
       Named Cheick Diallo, think Diallo(Motor Wise) with less refined
       offense/feel but same level of defense, with a higher upside and
       more physical gifts.
       You don't see guys like that in America East.
       With development under Boals, this guy would be shooting 3s by
       Junior year. That's Scary.

       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.

       Sign him up Boals. Do what you have to do to get this kid. He
       would be a instant POY and SB would be knocking on the door of
       the NCAA for 3 years with him in the paint..

       Thanks for all the info Ballhard! Those highlights are absurd,
       really exciting upside. I hope he comes to Stony Brook.

       I agree the guy has a limitless ceiling.
       Potential POY and DPOY type.

       LOL. Same! He can stay at my house! Or become my son!
       When I read Ball’s assessment that he had higher upside than
       Warney, I thought maybe he had a screw loose. But MY GOD, that
       kid is ruthless!

       agreed, agreed, agreed.
       blocks galore on that film.  blocks are one of those things,
       where it may not cause a turnover like a steal, or gain a
       possession like a rebound, but they are demoralizing for the
       shooter, removes an attempt, gets the crowd riled up.
