Charleston is also coming off a 31-4 NCAA tournament season. And we’re… not. So I would get it.

But I hope he likes a challenge and wants to come play for Coach Simon in BG. We could use a player like him.

The guy’s highlight video is really impressive too. It’s hard to believe he hasn’t scored more, great jump shot, jumps out of the gym.

Did not see this in any thread here or elsewhere until looking at BGSUfalcons that Lourawls "Tum Tum" Nairn is now listed on staff after working with Simon last year. I think he was one of his chief recruiters and is familiar with the Michigan, Ohio area from his playing time at MSU.

I mentioned back on page 9 of this thread that he was no longer listed on the website after I'm pretty sure he was right after the announcement of staff hirings. Glad to see he is listed again. Was getting a tad worried that he wasn't showing up on there because he already left for another job.

Special Assistant Bob Gallager. Maybe he can smash fruit with a giant mallet.

It’s a player commitment. Guess we’ll see who it is when they announce it.

Taking a stab on who player could be using the double Twitter follow theory [follows of both Simon and BGSU Basketball]: Ejay Greer 6'8" class of 2023 Rocktop Academy https://twitter.com/EjayGreer There are just a few of these double twitter follows - all of whom are BG basketball commits this Spring. I don't know how foolproof this is but would be a nice addition if it plays out.

Would be nice. Lengthy athlete who seems a bit raw for a team that might not need him right away.

I would think it's this kid as new commit. If you look at the kid's twitter, he is following Simon, 3 different BG assistants, and Brandon Pardon. Coincidence?

Yeah just looking at some of those YouTube vids? He's quite welcome at BG.

Neither Greer nor Barnes have tweeted about a commitment, and Simon hasn’t said anything more yet. Barnes did retweet something from the main BG MBB account a few days ago, interestingly.

I’d assume we’re just waiting on someone to announce.
