Ron Harper wasn't a "just miss." We could have had him but didn't take him. I can still picture Ron and Velvet playing together. It was reported that we thought he was an academic risk, but it turned out he had a stuttering problem. Miami helped him overcome it.

I guess that we all saw that Avery Johnson is out at Alabama and the new coach is the coach from Buffalo, Nate Oats. Mr. Oats did wonderful positive things at Buffalo. I am connecting the dots that this is why players are leaving / transferring out of Alabama.

Petty has been very similar to Jordan Davis ... streaky. Very streaky.
I've seen him shoot blanks in a lot of their bigger games.
Intrigued by him, but not in love with him by any means.

Per verbalcommits.com PG Neftali Alvarez (FR) has entered the transfer portal. The one time 6'2" 165lb ex UD recruit from Puerto Rico and Miami Christian School apparently didn't find the right fit at Fairfield. He may be transferring because the Stags fired coach Sydney Johnson after a 9-22 season and finishing last in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference with a 6-12 record.
Neftali averaged 11.5pts. and 3.3 assists this past season and his shooting percentages were not very good: 41.4FG%, 61.6FT% and 27.0 3P%. By comparison Jalen Crutcher averaged 13.2pts. and 5.7 assists while shooting 41.9FG%, 70.7FT% and 36.3 3P%.
I don't think this is someone who AG should be looking at as a PG for two years from now! In AG I trust and I'm sure he and his staff will have recruited more talented PG's by the time Crutcher and Rodney Chatman graduate.

I'm not saying that Alvarez is the answer, but a transfer frosh PG wouldn't be the worst thing (in a vaccum) Year on the bench sitting out the redshirt season, a year on the pine as a "soph" will 2 seniors take the lion share of minutes, enter junior season likely competing against a true frosh for playing time.
More than likely, I think you see AG try and pick up a soph PG transfer next season to sit on the bench while the seniors take the minutes, and a frosh PG the following year to give them a junior-frosh spread. Unless he can land a really talented frosh next year to ride the pine for a year.

agree with you gents.
I thought before the Jordan Davis spot opened the play was to get a transfer PG with the hopes of plugging him in for Crutcher.
Plugging in a veteran PG after the Crutcher/Matos/Jorday/Ibi/Rodney class graduates in my opinion gives Dayton the best chance of keeping the program from rebuilding and into reloading mode

Really talented freshmen aren't going to ride the pine. That is just the reality of recruiting today.

I don't know how a really talented, opportunistic player would look at this team and not see a major opportunity to come right in and not only log some real minutes, but to make a legitimate impact. To me, there's not a single player on this squad that's so dang good there's no room to share minutes, if not take over a starting spot.
Even Obi, for as good as he is, has his share of off games and foul trouble. It's wide open, and minutes would be the least of my concern if I were being recruited by UD.

I do not disagree with you at all but the previous poster was talking about some really good point guard coming here and agreeing to sit on the bench which ain't going to happen. There is one guy on this team that you can pencil in right now for 30 to 35 minutes a game and that is Obi toppin. In my opinion he is the only guy that is penciled in pen in at this moment. The next guy would probably be Crutcher but I would even have him penciled in in pencil and not pen. I need to see much better point guard skills from him next year and much better defense.

From what I have read, and looking at the stats, Chatman will push Crutcher in a good way. Rodney can play a lot of minutes and allow Crutcher to have fresh legs. Would not be surprised to see them split the time at pg. Chatman is a better defensive player and posted similar offensive stats as Jalen.
We could do worse holding on to a late lead with defense using Johnson, Watson, Cohill, Chatman, Toppin---with Matos, Jordy, Crutcher, Landers, Mikesell in the wings (sorry Frankie).
It's been a while since the Flyers have had as many quality subs as we will have in 2019/20.
I hope we have a recruit that can contribute immediately, but I doubt it.

Absolutely....Said it a week or so ago when he first interviewed. I have no info. on the level of interest he ever had in UD or if he even threw a bone our way but you have to unless they have a silent already in from the Sinclair kid..

This kid can't catch a break. Every time he commits the coach leaves. As long as udscott doesn't have a say, I think CAG is here for a bit. Maybe that's just the type of stability he's looking for right now.

He's had two coaches he's committed too leave their jobs
Certainly the stability of UD could be a selling point

Antwann Jones sounds like he's getting recruited over at Memphis. From Florida & consensus 4 star guy on Rivals, 24/7 & ESPN. 24/7 had him as #80 in the country.
Sit 1, play 3. 6'5 or 6'6 guard who can handle the ball. Might be worth a look

Anyone know if we are still potentially targeting Mareng Gatkuoth in '19? I think we offered him back in October. 6'6 SG but I can't find any ratings or updates on him online.
I think it could be good to try to get another Freshman either Transfer or true to even out our classes.

So much depends on how the staff feels about 2020 recruits (likelihood to get a commit). But I could see them doing another xfer who sits a year or an as yet unsigned 2019 Frosh. I'm not sure at this point though they wouldn't just hold both scholarships. I can't see bringing in a grad transfer, unless it's for a very specific role.

I would say being able to put the balls through the basket is a very specific roll. That is exactly what hurt this team this year. If the right guy is out there they will get a grad transfer.

In today's world of college basketball, balancing classes is not a big deal anymore with the number of grad transfers and transfers in general. While we certainly needed a 3-point shooter last year, not sure that will be the problem next year.
With Chapman and Watson coming in, we will be a much better 3-point shooting team next year. Especially if Crutcher continues to improve as a shooter with less minutes and fresher legs. If it is someone who is too good to turn down, fine. If not, bank them. We have 11 players next year that all can play.

Certainly too we could probably expect Cohill to make a big leap offensively

Why would they all of a sudden be a much better 3-point shooting team with those two guys? Have you looked at their college stats and 3-point percentage? Don't assume that these guys are great college players all because they decided to come to UD.One kid never got off the bench in Michigan and the other kid shot 25% his freshman year and under 33% last year.
Look, I'm glad Dayton has both of those guys but to just assume that they're all the sudden going to make this team a better 3-point shooting team is ridiculous. And the way Cohill shoots the ball don't expect that 3-point shooting percentage to be good.
This team needs a shooter and a good one to come in and play and that must start next year.

I am not assuming anything Steve and my comments are not ridiculous!!! I have seen both of these players and they shoot the three very well. Have you?? Go ahead and look at old stats, I prefer what my eyes tell me.
If you want to look at them with your negative lens, that's your choice. There is no question in my mind, we will be a better 3 point shooting team next year.

Heard the same thing about these two from varies people who nave been at practice and the same people who told me about Toppin and Mikesell. Heard great things about Johnson same level as Toppin. These guys no basketball have played and seen a lot Toppin was right they have a first team and another first team .

Uh, yes they are very very ridiculous with your particular assertion.You were probably the same guy (as many were) that thought the 2018/2019 team would be a great shooting team, too. How'd that work out? The best shooter on the team couldn't shoot a lick and their inability to hit the big shot cost them a NCAA invite. Guess what, I also "prefer what my eyes tell me". Could be a special team next year if Obi sticks around and I can tell you with 100% certainty they are NOT ecstatic at this exact moment with their perimeter shooting going into next year and the lack of a real knock-down shooter..
Got news for you go any single NBA player out there can shoot the lights out of the ball in a gym or at practice but there's a reason why it stops there. I go by stats until proven wrong and it's not shooting the ball with zero fans in the stands or in practice. That's what you're going by? Okay, got it.....
You can get all hissy and ****y here all you want but do you think there's a reason why UD recruited the Sinclair kid quite hard? Think it was for his PG ability to distribute, defend or block shots? Why don't you go call CAG and tell him not to be so negative either since you're just so sure......

Guys, relax. Ibi is the best basketball player ever. Haven't any of y'all seen practice? We don't need Jordan and we certainly don't need Frankie. They should transfer to DII schools so they can actually get some PT.
We don't need a "sharpshooter" from some Juco school. All PT for next year is locked up by our second-team practice squad who are better than the first team. Two 32% 3pt shooters are better than one.
Anyone concerned about next year should can it. We can withstand 2-3 more transfers no problem. Our scholarships should be spent on players that can sit out a year since they have no chance at PT this year.

I will say, that is more than a little bit encouraging. Especially for those of us from out of town who only get a small sample of the Flyers live each season. But I assume that is a huge dose of sarcasm as well?
It is a bit ironic that a team's fan base is screaming for a shooter when we finished 2nd in the nation in FG%.
While holding our opponent's to a FG% number that is just out of the top 50.
But I agree for the sake of balance we could do with at least one shooter in the 40% range with consistency. More than anything, numbers aside, we need critical defensive stops and timely 3pt shooting when the game is on the line. That goes for free throw shooting as well.
Watching the really talented teams in the NCAA's, two things stood out. One is an avalanche of clutch 3pt shooting, and secondly ferocious rim defense. Any help in those areas would be appreciated.

If it is someone who is too good to turn down, fine. If not, bank them. We have 11 players next year that all can play.

The grad transfer rule may be changing very soon though which could be a game changer in that department.

We were a great shooting team (see your first quote) - we were not a great 3-pt shooting team (see your second quote though were were much better than those bums from Duke). Two different skills - 2 different state lines -- Ouch . . ..

Swampy Meadows: WOW, I have been looking at this transfer list. My lips are smacking about the enormous opportunity presented by this list. There are great, I mean great players, on this list. Over the last couple years, I looked st this list and didn’t bother looking in detail for anyone under 6’9” because Dayton’s need for BIGS was overwhelming. But now, I must concur with our small ball colleagues on this blog. We need to recruit either the best overall value possible or specifically a point guard. Evaluating point guards requires real expertise. This list is a buffet. Perhaps, it no longer is advantageous for Dayton to recruit freshman out of high school. Dayton was losing out on all the top high school recruits anyway. Maybe Dayton should no longer expend so much resources on high school kids and focus on the transfer wire.

Problem is if the coach leaves, which I don't think AG will do, that the team may be decimated (see Nevada next year).

Steve Alford is going to have to cull that transfer list for immediately eligible and sit outs. The team record will suffer for a couple of years.

Options are picking for emerging wing Jalen Bridges
This time of year potential 2019 recruits are at a premium. There were a host of high majors scouring the baseline evaluating Bridges, who told 247Sports that he is considering 2019 and 2020.
“It’s starting to pick up a little bit,” he said. “I’m starting to hear from high majors.”
For 2019, Bridges said his “main five offers” are Xavier, Penn State, Temple, Duquese and Dayton. He also noted that Virginia, Ohio State, TCU, Michigan and Louisville are also showing attention for 2020.
“I went on an unofficial to Duquese, an unofficial to Dayton,” he said. “I go to West Virginia all the time and an unofficial to Xavier.”
What year is he currently planning to go to college?
“It depends on the program mainly and if I can come in and play or redshirt,” he said. “But for 2020 I’m just looking for the best fit.”

BREAKOUT PERFORMERS
Jalen Bridges, SF, Wildcats Select
No player raised their stock as much as Bridges did in Texas. On opening night of the Gauntlet, Bridges scored 20 points on just four field goal attempts. Last summer, Bridges said he was playing at 180 or 185-pounds, now he checks in at 205. He has an impressive physical make up at 6-foot-6 and long arms. He’s solid athletically, shoots it well off the catch from long-range and can guard his position. Headed into the weekend, Xavier was the only high major school that offered him for the 2019 class, but his games were filled with high majors evaluating him after his first day performance.
Recruiting: Bridges said on Friday that Xavier, Penn State, Temple, Duquese and Dayton are recruiting him for 2019. He mentioned Virginia, Ohio State, TCU, Michigan and Louisville for 2020.

Widget: So has he accepted the VT offer? Sounds like no, which means Coach Grant could try again for Curtis. This young man has a whole lot of potential...he would look good in a Flyer uniform.

No. he did not accept an offer from VT. Merely that VT made an offer. I didn't want to give the impression that he is going to VT. I didn't believe my post implied as such. If you thought so, I apologize.

Curtis originally committed to _avier then switched to UC. Odds seem to favor going back to _avier if they have s ship available. Obviously, we have a ship available, but who knows if there is any interest by either Curtis or UD.

For what it’s worth, someone fairly close to Curtis, told me that he may follow Cronin to UCLA. We’ll see what happens....

You did not infer he did accept the VT offer...just wanted to make sure. UCLA would be an interesting move. Hope he gets the playing time out there.

The UC assistant who recruited Curtis is now on the new staff at Va Tech. And he announced the offer from Va Tech two minutes after he decommitted from UC.

My son played with Samari for 3 AAU seasons and I know the kid well. He is tight with his brothers and IMRO wants to stay somewhat local. I can't imagine he'd follow Cronin to UCLA (or an assistant to VT) and wouldn't doubt that tOSU is on his short list. As for UD...we all need to wish he's giving us some consideration. The kid can play!

I assume it was premium content over on Schwade's site...hence the reason why they won't post it here (and rightfully so). At some point it will come out, or it won't.

From what I understand, he has grown several inches recently. He might still be growing if he follows Obi

Very few brothers go to the same school, or sons of fathers. Usually the pressure is on a kid to match or outdo his brother, so he sets his own path. However, we have had a few, the May's in the 60's.

Well if Obi is Andre, I can live with that scenario since Obi is already here. Its not like Duke got Arnold, and we got danny devito.

Is Jacob more of a wing, power forward or still developing into a position?

Probably a combo forward seen listed 6-7 and 6-8, if we can get him to 6-9 and his brothers strength then who knows . Looks like and is built like Obi
