2021-2022 Recruiting

[BleedOrange]

Whoa! This Nash dude played 3 years at Tennessee and attempted to transfer to BG after an altercation with coach Don DeVoe.

Later.....he went on to become a pro wrestler!

Neat article regarding Whitefoot's decision to choose BGSU.

Sounds like a very healthy attitude about earning playing time - which implies an ego that won't be getting in the way.

Good stuff.

Offer made to 2022 PF out of Florida named Keither Florence. Offers from several other schools including USF, Southern Miss and FGCU. Looks ridiculously athletic, though a bit unpolished. Would be a nice addition.

Actually his hometown is Wichita but he is at a basketball factory in Tampa now. And I think one offer is SMU rather than Southern Miss.

JUCO Offer for Fr SF 6'7" or some say 6'8" Jonathan Mogbo out of Florida. Playing this year at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M. Looks like a leaper and a dunker. Has quite a few mid major offers-- Iona, Coastal Car., Kent, N. Tex, LA-Monroe, Chicago State, and Southern. Would not be surprised that the BG second recruit would be one of these last two players offered.

Another JUCO Frosh and from the same school as Mogbo. 6'2" PG Brian Moore Jr. out of NYC. Seen it listed as both Harlem and Kingston. Has numerous offers which I am not going to list here but I am wondering if PG is really a need at this point with Metheny, Lightfoot, and Fulcher around after this season. https://www.verbalcommits.com/players/brian-moore

Willie Lightfoot officially signed today. I know we are guard heavy already but I think this guy will make an impact. Dynamic on offense and very quick. Needs to improve his defense but has a lot of length and definitely has the tools.

I’ve actually seen him described in a couple places as having great d. https://www.zagsblog.com/2021/02/14/202 ... t-to-five/

That’s great. I was just going off of a few videos I saw where it looked like he got caught flat-footed. I’ll trust those reviews over my eyes though.

You could be right for sure. Who ever knows with these guys. Justin Turned goes from "who" To our all time leading scorer

Justin Turner was a "who"? IIIRC there was a lot of positive buzz about him coming here

He was a middle of the road recruit and not a great athlete. Certainly not considered even a great get at the time.

*** on Rivals...1st team all city in Detroit...2nd team all State in Michigan. I'm sorry...but I recall people being thrilled that we signed him.

Flipper,

This is the same guy who claimed Issac Elsasser was a "stud" and had him in the projected rotation.
