Your instincts are most likely right.
Zed will be a an AAC/Big east recruit or a tier under at worst.
Worth noting: Zed Key from Brentwood has been picking up steam. We offered him, but he's since been offered by higher-end programs like Cincinnati, Saint Louis, UMass and today Pikiell/Rutgers.

My first instincts would be SB can forget about recruiting any kid from Brentwood, considering Almonacy kept the bench warm since day one stepping foot on campus...

Better than any guard SBU would recruit in 2019 which would be the year he's eligible til 2021. Gives us way more of a sure thing in the backcourt as Cornish exits. Won't be a learning curve due to him being a D1 player for 2 years. Will have a year to sit out, work with Greene in the weight room. Get used to Boals and his teammates. This pick up could be huge. Everyone seems to be fiesting on the transfer market. SB got in on the fun.

I don't know where to put this, but holy moly:

Jeffrey Bernstein
@Jeff__Bernstein

 @RodgerWyland just reported on @WNYT, UAlbany junior guards Joe Cremo and David Nichols plan to leave the program to pursue playing at a higher level. Cremo’s release is expected to come Monday. He has Power 5 interest.

Here's the link

An absolute stunner. And now Brown has to go out and pound the pavement for a handful of players ... that’s if Brown even stays. Where there’s smoke there’s fire. Something seems to be up.

This (grad) transfer trend could drop a bomb just about anywhere. Better hope we hold onto Akwasi. And Elijah. And anyone for that matter.

Anytime a good player is graduating and has eligibility remaining,more than likely they will transfer to a higher level of play. It's common, just the nature of today's game. Hurts Albany a lot of course but helps us.I don't see coach Brown leaving Albany's program though. I'd only worry about Yeboah wanting to transfer after his graduation or he could take the Jarius Lyles route and stay for his grad year and carry his squad to the Dance.

Sharp shooter. Floor spacing is the way to go. A shooter keeps the lane from clogging up. Allows Olaniyi, Cornish, Lattimer to attack the rack. Will give Ochefu and Otchere more space in the paint to work with.
Basketball is a lot simpler with court spacing than it is without it.

Would it be safe to say Otchere is/could be the next Jamel Warney??
Yes it is safe to say that. His defense from the beginning should be better than Warney's was.
His offense, not so much yet.

Can't find much regarding his current recruiting, but I would to see Boals and co. land Nick Alikakos, a former Navy commit doing a post grad year at the hill school. Boals, Weber, and Goldstein are all following him on twitter so i assume we're involved. Looks like a solid stretch four that can give the team some size and stretch the floor. Get him and Otchere and we're cooking with gas for 18-19!

Totally overlooked this post. Whoa that kid looks good. Only watched A minute of film and his offensive skill set jumps out immediately. He's a decent athlete, with mobility. Has court vision with size. Ability to put it on the deck a little and hit 3's

And he works out with Ochefu. https://twitter.com/ballbeyond/status/974026047309144064?s=21

I like him less than you guys do but I think he’d be a solid add. Love the energy and handle for a big guy. However, I worry about the jumper with the awkward release, and I didn’t see much in that video with his back to the basket (or at all defensively).

Him working out with Ochefu should be a positive. I'm not that bothered by his awkward release due to his size and ability to create space with his handle. On spot up shots his release would be even less of an issue because he wouldn't be guarded when its passed out to him.
I like the series of moves Ochefu put together in that workout. They all look fluid also. Kid is going to be really effective next season.

Old Seawolf I agree land this kid  along with Lattimore already signed and we have some decent talent coming in .  Still have one more scholarship to give but  get this kid to say yes first.
Lattimer is already the best recruit in the AE, Seawolves get Otchere then we may be talking best class in the AE
in the last 5 years

This is a huge test on Coach Boals' ability to recruit big fish.  Get him Jeff!  New arena, alumnus just made NBA, UMBC beat # 1, Ohio St Top assistant, etc, etc, etc.  The deck is about as stacked as it could be right now.  I agree, push the big fish in a small pond angle all the way, in addition to the above. 

This was Pikiell's mgmt team strength, which clearly overshadowed his X's and O's, but in the big picture, it is his recruiting that got us on the map.  This is a defining moment for Coach Boals, IMO.
Could not of said that any better

Otchere was named defensive player of the year in his conference and led the country in blocks according to this tweet  https://twitter.com/sean__bock/status/977583282547253249?s=21

Word on the street is Hurley is going to go after him. Maybe he likes SBU so much that he Commits few days after the visit.
If he doesn't commit soon and goes to visit Washington State and Uconn gets involved as a anticipated then forget about it.
