We don't know exactly what we have in the incoming group, but I'm curious which direction you all would go in. Do we need more size? Shooting? Athleticism?

I voted for Ty. He was one of the more enigmatic players that I can think of at SBU, if we got stretch 4 who, on his best days, can get on the glass and also stick the outside shot, I think that would be a great fit.

I went with the Bryan Sekunda type, but what I mean by that is i'd like them to bring anyone with above average three point shooting ability for their position. Some who can help spread the floor. I also think it should be a junior college transfer to try to even out the scholarship classes a bit or possibly even hold onto it for an extra 2019 scholarship.

I agree with you on the juco part. Big picture, we don't load up on them ideally, but we have just two players who have played more than one season of college basketball (Garcia's a third if you count the year he sat out). We'll be short on experience.

I'm counting on Latimer, Ceesay and Moor to provide the shooting that we lost with UC and Sekunda.

I went with a Junior Saintel type who can defend.  Also, think it should be a JUCO transfer with some experience playing, to complement all the young kids coming in.

P.S.  My answer would have been a # 5, if we hadn't landed Jeff Otchere.  My, how one big signing can change things..............

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. 

I went with a really good shooting 2/3 WHO CAN SHOOT FREE THROWS AT GAME_END CRUNCH TIME!!!

Last spring Coach B.'s staff seemed to show serious interest in Adrain Nelson out of Pinkerton North in Ohio.  He later committed to Detroit Mercy.  Well, he was just released from hi LOI and is reopening his recruitment.  He's right in Coach B.'s old stomping grounds, and I believe he would be an excellent get/perfect for the program.  Check him out.

put that in the recruiting thread!  it looks like we offered him.  not sure if he visited.

i can see why he skipped his hometown, in-state YSU (too many guards in front).  JMU is a threat but there is a three star just a year ahead. 

a lot of blocks and dunks in his video.  not bad for 6'6''!!!

I'd think if we want him, we'd be in the running.

Love the responses in this brief Q&A: http://vccohiowarriors.com/adrian-nelson/

ok i've made a cross-reference to this in the 2019 thread.  let's move there.  thanks.

COB:  I think the cross reference should be in the 2018 thread, right?
