What we add next year per ESPN
Clarke 6-0 175
Strengths:
Jehvon is a quick and athletic point guard. He is very skilled and can create on almost anyone. He is almost too skilled, sometimes looking like an "And 1" mix tape. His talent is obvious. Offensively he has a nice package. He has a good floater and can get in the lane whenever he wants. He is a streaky long range shooter with range to 20 feet. He is a solid defender. He has solid size and good athletic ability so he can potentiallly be a very good defender. Clarke's size and strength also allow him to be a solid rebounder for a point guard.
Weaknesses:
He is effective but sometimes needs to get by with a simple play instead of the fancy one that can sometimes become a turnover. His struggles are due to the fact that he settles for bad shots instead of using his versatility to take what the defense gives him. He also needs to make sure his effort is consistent on defense.
Bottom Line:
Jehvon is a skilled combo guard. He is a scorer first that is improving as a point guard. He has always been a good and creative passer, where he is improving is as a decision maker. Jehvon is a good prospect and with additional improvement will be a nice point guard in college.
Rorie 6-9
Strengths:
Desmond is a long and thin post player. He has a tremendous upside and a lot of yet unreallized potential. He is a good shotblocker right now. He is effective off the ball and taking away shots in the paint.
Weaknesses:
He is raw offensively but does display a nice touch. He needs to be much more aggressive and assertive offensively and as a rebounder. He needs to get stronger.
Bottom Line:
Rorie is a definite project but he has some talent and some tools. With his length and athletic ability, though, he has a chance to be a contributor at Bowling Green down the road.

Re: Recent recruits overview
Interesting take on our new class this year
Henderson 6-1 165
Anthony is a combo guard that is learning to be a point guard. He is a very good scorer as he led the Toledo City League in scoring last season. He is a solid shooter with range to 20 feet. He has the ability to create his own shot as well as create some for others. Anthony is a solid rebounder for his position and has enough length and athletic ability to be a good defender.
Sealey 6-6 210
Craig is a thin and skilled combo forward. He is very athletic and has a lot of talent. He can legitimately play either forward position. As a 4 man he is a decent rebounder when motivated. He can be a little soft at times. He is very skilled as a 4. Craig can put the ball on the floor and exploit mismatches versus bigger and slower post players. He can create offense off the dribble and shot the ball out to 17 feet. As a 3 man he can score in the post or jump and score over smaller opponents. He is quick and long and has the potential to be a fine defender. He needs to get stronger and more assertive though. He can block shots but that is not his strong suit. He is effective getting into the passing lanes and gleaning steals. Sealey is very talented but often becomes unassertive and disappears during games. Talent is not his problem, it is up to Craig with how good he wants to be.
Black 6-9 240
This super skilled combination post player and score with his back to the basket or out on the perimeter with comfortable range to about 18 feet. Black's post moves are fluid as he executes jump hooks, up and under's with excellent feel and footwork. He scores below the rim on his post moves but in transition and on drop off passes created by guard penetration he can finish above the rim. He runs the floor well but there is definitely room for improvement and he is a good area and position rebounder on both ends. Black also makes his presence felt on the defensive end with his shot blocking ability. He has great length and timing on or away from the ball. He must continue to work in the areas of strength and condition and play with urgency on a more consistent bases but this skill big man with give Falcon head coach Louis Orr plenty of options on the offensive end of the floor. Great upside.
