1 down, 5 to go! Let's get a couple more quality bigs….
Cross off Dontrelle McQuarter. He committed to Rider two hours ago. My educated guess for our next signing is Adong Makuoi 6'9" C/PF from Daytona State CC.
I'm hearing this might be the one. If true, this is another kid to get excited about! Superb athlete with one helluva wingspan!
If this happens and we could also snag Anthony D'Avanzo, this would turn what once was a weakness into a strength.
--Insert something witty here--
According to the Director of Recruiting of North Pole Hoops, 6'8 F Louth Coulibaly is looking to make his college decision within the next week.
@dawgsbasketball98 love to get that kid , but with us possibly picking up another Canadian juco don’t know if we will still be in the running for this kid
@vnomus2 I agree. Don’t think we’ve officially offered him yet also. Only offers I see that he has are UMKC, Boston, Youngstown St and Delaware St.
I was bored and did some recruiting research today. Best I can tell, these guys still haven't committed. We are or were rumored to be in on them:
Kellen Tynes 6'2" PG RNS (Canada) - Spent most of last Monday on phone/facetime with Coaching Staff of Quinnipiac University. I think he'd be a good get and I don't think we're out of it yet.
Koreem Ozier 6'1" Soph PG Sacred Heart
Jeremiah Williams 6'5" SF Chicago Simeon
Rameon Hinton 6'4" SG Chicago Curie - Some folks seem to think he's already verballed to Kent State, but I couldn't find anything official. He'd be a very good get, as his stock has risen significantly this season.
Anthony Hunter, Jr. 6'0" PG Durango HS
Antwuan Butler 6'0" PG Soph Austin Peay
Drew Peterson 6'8" SF Rice Soph - No chance. Too many big schools involved already.
Dontrelle McQuarter 6'7" SF Hinds CC - COMMITTED TO RIDER
Louth Coulibaly 6'8" PF Canadien Top Flight Academy
Kyler Filewich 6'8 PF Orangeville Prep - His only offer so far is from Presbyterian College, but I like this kid.
Adong Makoui 6'9" C Daytona St CC - Some lower D1s are in on him.
JD Muila 6'8" PF Indian Hills CC - COMMITTED TO SIU. He's better than his stats, plays for a top-notch juco, & is described as "one of the best defensive big men in the country."
Ariel Bland 6'7" SF AZ Compass Prep
Tyrus Baynham, Jr. 6'5" SF Tennessee Prep Academy - We have offered according to Rivals & Dawgs Hoops.
Will Wilson, Jr. 6'7" SF Ditto. He seems to really like SIU...Twitter account shows him in our uniform.
Detrick Reeves, Jr. 6'3" SG Marion HS (Arkansas)
Reggie Strong 6'1" PG Chicago Orr HS
Desmond Polk 6'4" SG LaLumiere HS
Dylan Branson 6'5" SG Mehlville HS (St. Louis, MO)
AJ Staton-McCray 6'5" SG West Oaks Academy (Charlotte, NC)
Jayden Johnson 6'6" SG Batavia HS (IL)
Todd Burt 6'8" PF Trinity Christian Academy (Raleigh, NC)
Amar Brown 6'8" C/PF Veritas Prep (LaVern, CA)
Eric Boone 6'3" PG John A Logan College
GRAD TRANSFERS
Destin Barnes 6'7" SG Jacksonville - Too many big schools involved.
Cory Hightower, Jr. 6'7" SF Presbyterian - Ditto. His dad played in the NBA.
Anthony D'Avanzo 6'8" SF Lewis Univ. - I think we might have a shot at this one.
Once again, this is mostly guesswork on my part based on some recruiting searches, Twitter posts, etc. It gave me something to do today and I thought it might be nice to have a list of unsigned players we MIGHT be in on. If anyone has updates or knows something that would add to or refute any of this, feel free to share!
Updated. I missed a few the first time. It seems we are still in on a bunch of Prep players. Would be nice to add players to next year's Freshman Class, along with another couple of jucos/transfers.
I will say it once again. Never ever assume anything. The people who claim they say this when the kid does not even know.
that being said somebody is about to commit. We will find out very soon
@vnomus2 I agree. Don’t think we’ve officially offered him yet also. Only offers I see that he has are UMKC, Boston, Youngstown St and Delaware St.
Looks like we finally offered Coulibaly.

Noticed Coach Mullins & Coach Mamon followed PG Michael Ertel on Twitter yesterday the same day he announced he was transferring from UL- Monroe. Good shooter and from video the kid looks like a player!
Averages in 19-20:
Freshman of the year 17-18
All Sun Belt 18-19 & 19-20

Another scoring threat. He would be an hour from home...

He would be my first choice.

No idea if Louth Coulibaly is a real possibility or not, but North Pole Hoops tweeted that we could get another JUCO Big soon...
As other's have stated if we get another Juco Big and Coulibaly or another HS senior, our weakness could quickly be showing a lot of promise.
Sounds like Coulibaly wants to make a decision within a week.
Heffernan stated there may be an update today any ideas on who
He probably just found out that Jimmy Beane isn't going to play here and he is just trying to confirm.
