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!

Looks like Alanzo Frink from Roselle Catholic picked up a few high major offers. I’ll bet that rules us out, which I’m not that upset about.

In other news, Aaron Calixte is leaving Maine to do a grad year elsewhere. We aren't likely in the conversation, but at least don't have to deal with him. Good player.

At least on video, he looks like one of those guys who looks really good in a uniform. Didn’t do it for me otherwise though.

Here’s to it being everything he’s looking for! It’s times like this when you love having the new arena.

With the whole team having left, I wonder if Pitt is in play for him.

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.

This kid is probably a very longshot for us. But who knows maybe he wants to be a big fish in a small pond.

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

Do we have a reasonable shot at getting this kid

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.
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)

If we are on his short list and he’s making an official visit this weekend - after someplace else - I’d say we do.

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
