thanks- i like that he uses his body in the post.  he creates separation and it gets him room for a putback.  we should get him.  he's not afraid to play physical.

PS i think he's a lefty and there's value in that, especially for a big

Just as long as he didn't get the memo that 6'7" dudes at SBU get to shoot as many 3's as they want...   :)

Dotson would be a good get. Kid has a huge chip on his shoulder also. Was looked over by D1's and went D2 outta HS. He's put his work at the D2 level and Juco level(High level Juco)now looking to impact the D1 level. Which he will. Knowing why a kid plays and what they are playing for is a big part of evaluating a guy for me. A kid with that kind of backstory and drive WON'T LOSE.

Motivation on and off the court can be huge .  Warney  was like  that . Sometimes he started off slow then took off as the game progressed always  looking ahead.

i remember after bad plays/fouls, warney would get in someone's face.  even mcgrew, puriefoy, etc.  while some might see that as rude, it was leadership.  and we all know- you cant attain leadership without backing it up on the court.

If we  get this kid it would be earth shattering for our program .  Add into the mix with some of the freshmen we have coming in  e could be on the map for the NCAA next spring .

Latimer is already the best commitment in the AE. If Otchere becomes a seawolf, it's the best recruiting class in the conference by a nice margin.

I just watched Otchere video. If Boals actually lands this stud he would probably go down as the best recruit the AE has ever seen..

There aren't a lot of huge mid-majors on this list here, but overall quite a bit of competition.  I don't think our current year's record helps us in terms of landing him.  If we could somehow pull a rabbit out of the hat, and get to the AE Championship game, this might help.
How old a Seawolf am I? I followed them during their Final 4 DIII hoops run in 1977-78 (they were called the Patriots then)

When you look a little deeper at the Stat breakdown the kid shot a lot better at the line during second semester of school than first semester. Over 10% better.  Points to in season improvement.
Checked out block stats and he finished with the most total blocks nationally.
Almost 4 blocks per game in 14.5 minutes per game. Coaches would kill for that kind of rim protection.
Fouls seem to hinder him for right now! 

I think Boals and the staff are smart enough to know when they are gonna miss on a kid and pull back on recruiting them and wasting resources. Frankie Pollicelli is an example of that.
If it's this late and SBU is flying all the way to Kansas for this kid then I'd think there is something there.
When a kid has 20 plus offers he picks and chooses who he wants to have dialogue and engage with.
Regardless of New Mexico State,Washington State,Utah State,Portland and schools like that being involved, SBU's staff visiting him this late is a really good sign.

I think is Boals lands him that he'll have a chance to be AE's best shot blocker ever.

Man.. All we can do is hope he decides to come to SB to further his education. Is there a deadline for his recruiting. How much time do we have to land him.

Thanks for all your insights..

I'm right with you.

"As of now, Otchere hasn’t trimmed his list and is keeping his options open. In March, he’ll try and cut it down to five schools and is looking to make a decision in April or May. Otchere will have three years of eligibility left when he enrolls in a division one program in the fall."

That was from that Zagsblog article posted in here not to long ago.

This month would be great with a run at the AE title and SB being in Otchere's final 5
