If we can get him, great, but as mentioned, he'll probably be on
the radar of the power conference schools soon if he's that
good. He can pretty much choose wherever he wants to go. Unless
you've heard him say something that indicates he likes SBU, I
wouldn't get my hopes up too high.

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!

I'm looking forward to seeing the kid Latimer get here. At
first, I thought "this guy isn't even starting for his HS team
as a senior?!?!?" but then you see that the team's ranked fourth
in the country and he has blue-chippers in front of him, and it
makes me appreciate that he has a definitive role with the team.
Every day in practice is a good test.

Just in the backcourt ...
Trevor Keels ('21) – freshman who has an offer from Wake Forest
Jeremy Roach ('20) – 5 star
Anthony Harris ('19) – 4 star

Re: Otchere, not to be a downer, but how often does the AE get a
"player' with that kind of size to come to our conference?
Especially with the sophisticated recruiting element of today.
Certainly not never, but very rarely - Coppenrath (at 6'9""),
Warney (at 6'8"), Reggie Lewis (at 6'7"), Malik Rose (at 6'7"),
and Vin Baker (at 6'11"), are definitely the exceptions to that
rule over the last 30+ years.
If I'm recruiting him to SBU, I'm being totally straight with
the kid and try to sell him on the following "package":
1) Convince him going to the NBA is a very remote possibility
(that is, be straight with him);
2) Emphasize that if he excels in the AE, he's certainly got a
shot at playing in Europe;
3) He's going to get a 1st class education at SBU, which will
set him up for life;
4) He's going to get a helluva lot of minutes right out of the
gate, if he comes to SBU, as opposed to other schools;
5) He can be the fulcrum and the magnet that draws future
recruits, of a potential dynasty at SBU; won't be the same
elsewhere;
6) Trips to the big dance from a mid-major always get good
press;
7) You will be playing close to home - great for friends and
family to see you live;
8) Sell him on our beautiful arena;
9) Mention how our past grads have played professionally;
10) Ask him if that shiny, new Lexus parked in Grad Chem,
belongs to anyone he knows? ;D
P.S. Ignore that sinister smiley face on # 8 (couldn't get rid
of it via edit for some reason)

Miles Latimer is shooting 80% from the charity stripe this
season.

We need all the help we can get in that department . 80% is
more than excellent for any team.

Sorry that's 16% higher than the current team's average; not
acceptable. ;D

Latimer is an A10 caliber kid who would be on the All rookie
team after competing there his freshman year.He's always played
with 5 star talent in AAU (Team takeover) and HS (Paul IV). So
he's always come off the bench. He could start on many of the
other teams in DC. This is a kid that may make a summer league
roster some day and earn a few hundred thousand bucks a year
playing in Europe. He's that good and attending SBU will allow
him to Florish greatly. If Latimer didn't commit before
attending Oladipo camp last July where 100 MM-HM coaches were
He'd be on his way to an A10 or Big East school.He dominated the
competition there, a lot of top 100 kids were there and he out
played many of them. He's one of the best recruiting steals on
the East coast.
SBU's perimeter attack will be one of the best in the AE next
season. Yeboah,Elijah,Cornish,Latimer

You should be on the coaching staff. You'd probably land Otchere
