2021-2022 Recruiting

[fredthefalcon]

New offer to 6'5" SG Andrew Rohde out of Brookfield, WI. Other offers are App State, UIC, W. Ill, CMU, WMU, Milwaukee and Depaul. In other news scratch Devan Ceaser who cut his schools to 6 not including BG.

Offereee Derek Simpson commits to Rutgers, Connor Essegian cut his list down excluding all MAC schools and Devin Ceaser who had also cut his list earlier will be seen during a future MAC season at Buffalo.

Fun fact - we have 6 players who have transferred in from other D1 schools. That's A LOT!

Binghampton
Evansville
Old Dominion
Kent State
Duquesne
Samford

Compare this to the number of players we've lost to other D1 schools so far - zero. The only D1 transfer we've lost recently is Taylor Mattos to New Hampshire. This loss was significant because he would have been a big upgrade over Swingle last year, and looked to be improving every game.

Some of us are not big fans of Hugor, but this is a testament to his ability to attract and keep D1 talent. After enduring Dakich, I'll take it.

PG Tavari Johnson has set up visits to 4 schools--BG, Milwaukee, Akron, and Toledo. Let's hope.

[fredthefalcon]

Tavari Johnson chose Akron and another PG offeree Brian Taylor chose Milwaukee. Currently that leaves only one PT offer of note -Jason Drake of Ferndale MI.

I'd wonder how attractive BG is to guards. We'll be loaded at guard for the next couple years. I'd be interested to see what interests we're getting from forwards and posts.

Another PG Offer. This one 6'0" Willie Lightfoot Jr. has plenty of other offers including his home town of Buffalo (well actually he's from Niagara Falls (slowly I turned, step by step)), Minnesota, Alabama, Oregon. But there must be something to this for us to offer him this late with the stiff comp.

Whitefoot announced today on Twitter he's committed to BGSU.

That’s a really nice get. His tape is outstanding. Not sure why the bigger offers fell off, but good for us in the long run.

He's *technically* the highest rated commit in program history, according to 247. He'll be on campus at the same time as the previous #1, Josiah Fulcher, next year.

That is awesome news!

As of right now, we would be at a full 13 scholarships next year. Something probably will happen to change this but we only lose Gordon from the 13 roster with Diggs and Plowden being likely not replaceable to the full roster unless the NCAA changes more Covid Rules.
