We've worked hard here, but a commitment now means we came up short... he was always a bit of a longer shot, good to know early quite frankly and a guy we will be able to recruit out of the portal down the line if he goes in. Focus on a kid who really wants to be here and can make a difference w

He was always a pipe dream to me. Too good for the MAAC. Maybe we get a shot on the rebound.

Jayden Young picks Virginia Tech I wish him the best but it in a couple years he thinks it want the best move, hopefully Siena would be in the running as a transfer. Wishful thinking.

I wonder if this is a recruited walk on situation This time of year you get a lot of kids who are visiting places trying to get an offer. They want to be there more than Siena wants them right now but you work them out and if we miss on kids they hope we offer and they take him. Our big targets will be the guys who take official visits.

Our big targets will be the guys who take official visits. Yep let’s hope we see official visits start to be lined up soon for mid September. I’m starting to see a lot more kids commit early including mid majors. Maybe some lessons learned from last year and kids are jumping on the hood offer early.

He averaged 5.7 points and 6.9 rebounds on a team that went 26-4. They had 2 seniors that both signed with Loyola and they have Boogie Fland in the 24 class who is ranked top 20 nationally and Danny Carbuccia who is ranked very high in some early class of 25 rankings and already has multiple power 5 offers.
Different types of players, but similar situation to Bangura Jr and Chimeze, two kids who were down the pecking order at Stepinac but we still monitored/offered.
He’s had his moments. Went for 15 and 12 at the Hoophall Classic in Springfield against Don Bosco and was the MVP.

In addition he has a 4.0 GPA. Solid program and Age group MVP of Gym Rat Challenge, worth a look. May not be a priority now, but...
