Recruiting 2023-2024 The Simon Era

[BGFalconfromCincy]

.....uh, they show javon jackson in a BG uni wearing #2 and being pictured with our coaches with a big ass grin on his face. Hmmmm.

Looking at his twitter he did the same thing when he was at Wyoming. That and the BG one say #not committed as others have mentioned

That's just kinda what guys do on recruiting trips now. They wear the uniforms, they pose for pictures with coaches, etc.

It doesn't automatically mean anything, but you always know that a visit means they are at least seriously considering coming here. So I guess we'll see what happens with him.

Sure hope at least one of these bigs can shoot from 15 feet or more. Otherwise it gets very hard to play them together.

Neither Spurgin nor Agee can shoot from there consistently currrently. Spurgin is a paint guy, and with him being with Simon already for a couple years that's probably not going to change. Agee might be able to hit a decent length mid-range shot with some good coaching. Bottom line, I would not expect either to become anything close to a 3-point threat.

Lightfoot is uber-talented but is still an unknown.

Are we sure about that? I didn't see much from him to indicate that. Of course he didn't play much...but...He just looks really small out there.

Could Dee Barnes be following Simon from Southern Utah?

Using my flimsy theory of players followed by both Todd Simon's and BGSU Men's Basketball's Twitter accounts, it appears we can identify "targets":

Four 'new to BG' players met this double follow criteria: Javon Jackson [transfer portal from Southern Nazarene University - DII], Jason Spurgin [committed], DaJion Humprhey [Juco transfer discussed earlier in this thread], and PJ Edwards [committed].

It appears we offered Javon Jackson on March 19th, the day he put his name in the portal. He has accumulated several mid-major DI offers. He also appeared to visit BGSU today: https://twitter.com/_JavonJackson/statu ... 79265?s=20

I believe there are other offers out there if you have the time to piece together everything. I ran out of patience. lol

Humphrey to NC State

Globe, that was a retweet of someone else's commitment to NC State:

It appears we are still in play for Humphrey as of this afternoon

I tried going back through this thread - just who / what type of player is Javon Jackson?

[Flipper]

Basketball...

Simon just tweeted his boom thing again.

[Flipper]

It needs to be said.... "Ok, Boomer...."

BG has reached out to Da'Shawn Phillip from Maryland-Eastern Shore out of the MEAC. 6-5 guard with 9.8 PPG and 3.1 RPG last season.

Mmmm. PJ Edwards is pictured wearing #4 on bgsufalcons.com. Lightfoot wore #4 last year.

Would not be surprised that Lightfoot wants to wear 1. He wore in HS. Also pictures show from that time with 2 and 13.
