Damn, when you read all of the additions in a row like that, it's hard not to be excited. Defense is TBD, but I'm predicting a LOT of points scored.

Apparently, Greg Spurgin IS on scholarship.

Interesting that squire is ranked higher as a recruit than Campbell. I don't think I could be more excited for this team. There's so much talent on all levels

Reading that really makes me wonder if Towns will actually be starting. IT seems like at Squire, Johnson and Yoyo are likely all better players than he is. And Exante is quite likely the most talented of the bunch.

I wonder about Johnson's endurance, given his build. But with this squad, he may only need to give us 20 minutes a night anyway.

Interview where Simon talks a bit about the roster and a summer trip to Germany and the Czech Republic.

https://www.bgchamber.net/clint-corpe-interviews/

I tend to think Towns likely starts just because he’s a known commodity. Really good pick and roll defender who I thought played some of his best basketball in MAC Tournament. In interview Simon references the bigs coming in as all having skills to play on the perimeter. He references Yo Yo as a 3 or 4 with unique size.

Towns is an extremely average MAC player. Felt will start in the post.

Felt hasn't played competitive basketball in a couple of years now....I'm not sure I can go all in on him at this point
It's not the fall that hurts...it's when you hit the ground.

Honestly I would expect him to wear a large brace forever given the last two years. Just as a safety measure.

But the fact he is practicing at all is a good sign.

Another player who I believe will be on the roster Mohamed Maxamud. 6'10'' from Westerville played Juco last two years.

He lists BGSU MBB in his Twitter profile. I assume an announcement is coming soon. Here are some highlights

Wow, he looks really athletic around the basket and even has a perimeter game.

They list him at 6;10".

If he's 6'10", then every player in that community college game is 6'6" or taller.
