West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball

verbalcommits.com has him with an offer from Southern Wesleyan, who went 2-26 last year.Played King last year. They are a private Christian University in the Conference Carolinas league and located in Central, SC.
So I would assume that he will be leaving.
I don't know of anything "official". Maybe check his twitter?

It only takes one offer. I don't see the market being to big for Greely. Think it will come down to taking the SW offer or come back to WLU. I don't think many players would be willing to come back to the school they wanted to leave so he will probably go to SW.

You just need LeBron. I think he's only 6'8" however.

Sites list him variously as 6'11" and 7'. Like I said, if it's on the interweb, it HAS to be true!!!

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball

Yeah ... that's the sad thing. Cobo was brought here to play against WL and never got the chance. That team was built to run with the perfect size mix to do it ... and then ran in to Round 4 with Mercyhurst. They showed what they were built to do down at Fairmont State in December.

It's still too soon. Can't talk about it. LOL. Too fresh.

We were in the regional finals waiting!!! Joe just ducked us by losing in the semis!!

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball

I'd have to think they offer a version of the test in Spanish? He's a very intelligent guy.

Oh I have no doubt he's smart. Double major in two relatively difficult majors proves that amply. According to the interweb which would NEVER be wrong, SAT and ACT are only given in English. But I would imagine that colleges have some wiggle room for admitting international students.

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball

I know what you mean about Mercyhurst. They are a very well coached team. If it is any consolation for us, they probably came the closest to taking down NW Missouri State (But I did not watch that game).

IUP split with them, 2-2, but obviously lost the one that mattered the most. I still think if they played 10 games it would have been 5 to 5.

What can you do. On to the next one.

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball

He is the protypical player for West Lib - Intelligent, high basketball IQ, can dribble, pass, shoot from 3 and rebound. I have to admit that when I saw him play, I thought about how he could thrive in an up and down, open court, fast moving game like West Lib plays. I could see WLU averaging 110+ pts a game! Of course, he would be an All-American in any style. Great player! Share the wealth guys. Give us your second pick of a big man from overseas that is in the mold of Cobo. LOL

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball

That's how they found Cobo. Joe sent an assistant to Spain to recruit a center. Word of mouth sent the assisant out to the Canary Islands and that's where they found him.

Interesting story. Cobo came here and didn't speak a word of English ... and will graduate in May with a double major in finance and international business.

Quite an accomplishment.

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball

Hummmmm...One might wonder how he took and apparently scored well enough on the SAT or ACT to get into IUP? That first assignment in US History must have been tough!!!
