BG has signed Jayden Johnson, 6'1" PG from South Carolina State. Averaged 13 points, 3 rebounds, 3 Assists and 1.5 Steals.

He was the *Preseason* pick for MEAC player of the year last year, but ultimately landed on the 2nd team after SC St finished 5th in the conference.

C/PF Leek Ateny from Kentucky has committed to BG in the class of 2026. He's 6'10 with long arms. Love the size. Listed as a "stretch 4". Most of his offensive highlights come from the outside. Makes sense as he's only 200 pounds. Looks like he'll look to fill much of the Sam Towns role a...

Seeing reports that BG landed another shooter - 6'4" Juan Cranford Jr from Eastern Kentucky, after playing at St Francis (PA) the year before. Averaged double digits at both stops, shooting 37.6% from 3. He made 81 threes last year in 32 games, shooting more than twice as many 3s as 2s. Can nev...

Javontae Campbell accepted an invite to the Portsmouth Invitational, which I assume means he is officially out of eligibility and will be turning pro. He'll be joining Rashaun Agee there, as well as Johnson and Lyles from Akron. Big time honor for Javontae. Not many mid-major players on the partici...

It truly was a great season for Campbell. Honestly he should have gotten much more consideration for MAC POY. Probably a miss on our athletic department for not hyping this campaign more. Campbell Led the conference in scoring in MAC games (21.4 ppg), 1st in Steals, 3rd in Assists. I mean, DPOY that...

BG secured a commitment from 6'5" Guard Zach Howell from Drury University (D2). Grad Transfer with 1 year of eligibility.

Hopefully this is the shooter we've been missing. He's got good size and a quick release.

Both Leroy Blyden and Sonny Wilson from UT are in the portal. These two were high school teammates as well, so interested into how this plays out.

Blyden reportedly has a $2 million offer on the table from a P4.

Wilson, interestingly, is now represented by former BG assistant German Srulovich

Hearing John Groce is leaving Akron for Charleston. He had also got offered the USF job but they couldn't agree on $$ so the school pulled the offer.

They're good at getting people to football and hockey games. Both saw historic increases this year. Basketball attendance has remained... mediocre. That's fascinating to me. Simply put, there's only 3 things that will get butts in the seats: 1) Wins 2) A Nationally relevant opponent 3) A sideshow a...

Here's how I rank the teams heading into Cleveland, in terms of their CEILING (i.e. they play their best possible game): 1. Akron (Most talent by far and have looked like the best team the last few weeks) 2. Miami (plays the best team ball and can shoot the lights out) *Tier Drop* 3. Kent (Most tale...

Scenario heading into the final game. We get the 5 seed and play Toledo if: - BG wins at EMU + OU loss vs Miami We get the 6 seed and play Kent if: - BG win at EMU + OU wins vs Miami, OR - BG loss at EMU + Buffalo loss at Toledo We get the 7 seed and play Akron if: - BG loss at EMU + Buffalo wins at...

After the Saturday 2/28 games, we're all but locked into the 6-seed, but there's still a very real chance we could end up as the 5-seed. Obviously we would need to beat Eastern on Friday, but if we do that AND Ohio loses their final 2 at UMass & vs Miami, which they will be underdogs in both gam...

Inexcusable loss, but watching Western take Miami to the wire made me feel a little better about it. Not a ton, but a little.

Line opens at -13.5. The computers see us at the level of Kent State, i.e. the 3rd or 4th best team in the MAC. Frankly that's where I see us too. If we win our final 3 and win to get us to Friday night in Cleveland and at least give Miami or Akron hell that night, that gives us a 20 win season and ...
