I can't reveal source, but heard very reliably that Akwasi is
not coming back. Unknown if he's transferring or going pro.
Given this and the departure of Long and Moor, and the signings
of 2 new recruits, that should leave us with 2 schollys for
upcoming season. Personally, I'd load up on 2 Grad transfers;
there's enough of them out there.

Huge bummer. Was hoping no word this far into the process was a
good sign regarding Yeboah.

Further to yesterday's discussion, looks like Akwasi is going
the transfer route, as opposed to going pro, per several Twitter
posts today:
"Stony Brook transfer Akwasi Yeboah (16.7 ppg, 7.7 rpg) has
already visited Rutgers, and told @Stadium he will head to both
SMU and TCU this week. Also considering Marquette, Clemson and
Arkansas."

This makes Vermont losing Lamb even more crucial

Pray he at the very least winds up in an NBA camp somewhere.
He's good enough to get taken in the 2nd round though. Dude was
top 5 scoring in the country IIRC and basically carried Vermont.

All good opportunities to prove himself, but I'm really
wondering why Clemson and Arkansas of all places are on the
list. Oh well. Best of luck to him.

Because they expressed interest? And because it’s the ACC and
SEC?
Clemson loses four of their five starters from this past year,
including their top three scorers. They’re probably looking for
immediate help.

Now, Yeboah's officially gone. Is the rest of this board as
surprised as I am that Coach Ford hasn't more aggressively gone
after filling the remaining two spots open on the roster? It
seems like recruits are sprinting off the transfer list by the
droves and selecting their landing spots, but little action from
the Seawolves!! There were also a slew of 2019 HS recruits that
had been offered, but they too are peeling off at a rapid pace.
What's the scoop?

Although we knew a week ago that Akwasi wasn't coming back,
perhaps Ford was holding out for a change of heart. But, with
Moor and Long goners for weeks now, I share your sentiment. 2
scholly's open now, by my count. Heilbron put faith in Ford,
and now Ford has to deliver. I'm not blaming Ford for the
Akwasi, Moor, and Long transfers, but he certainly needed to be
hedging his bets with these transfers happening. I too, am
wondering what's going on, with VC tweeting by the boatload on a
daily basis.

Weber and Ford have been very active on the recruiting front.
Tavin Pierre - a Boston U Decommit
Is on a visit right now. We had an official with Frankie
Pollicelli a week or 2 ago and it’s looking good.
We are bringing Gavin Bizeau a 6’11 skilled forward on campus
next week from Duquesne. (Duquesne coaches are idiots for
letting a kid this big and this skilled walk out the door). He’d
have to sit one and play 3 years.
If Ford lands 2 of these 3, you’ve got major fire power going
into the 20-21 season with the entire Squad from this upcoming
season returning. We don’t need any one for this season. Getting
2 steals on the transfer market in the AE can ensure your roster
never has a dip in talent. Never to be forgotten is what UMBC
was able to do mainly because they got their hands on the RIGHT
TYPE of A10 transfer.

Thank you for the update!
As I see it, we lost Yeboah/Moor/Long/Cornish and have we have
added Gueye/Stephenson-Moore, definitely a net minus, not in
terms of body count, but overall talent, and I certainly mean no
disrespect to the 2 new signees. Hard to replace a 17/8 guy,
who was your main stud.
I hope Tavin Pierre joins us, but i'd like to see us active in
the Transfer pool this year, to complement our core. We may be
dealing with Garcia leaving next year, if he has a solid year
upcoming.
Policelli would need to sit a year as well, no?
