Oooh. That is a major bummer. That kid was fun to watch. I thought if he could pick up where he left off he'd be in good position to be a major impact player next year and 1st team all-conference....

There was a kid from up here, very talented but 5’9. Played on a loaded team his sophomore year, all sophomores. The other big 3 moved out of state after that year to gain exposure. 1 ended up at North Carolina, one at Utah and one at Arizona St. This kid in particular ended up staying (dad was the coach). So he gets very few offers, ends up at a good JC and puts up a lot of stats. Ends up with no offers he likes, sits out a year before getting offered at UT-Tyler by Wilson. He played a little bit at the beginning of the year it seems but then stopped playing. No idea if he got injured or what, he still appears on their roster but no mention of him anywhere else.
But regardless I think that’s how Tyler is building that program, trying to find talented, out of place kids that slipped through the cracks. It’s a tough way to build that way but it has been done before. Tark made a career at it but it blows up more often than not.

Well the D2 Verbal Commit twitter feed is slowing down considerably over the last week or so. Looking at verbal commits, teams in the GNAC, PAC West and CCCA all have over 11 players on their roster for next season save for Hilo. Some teams have up to 14 or 15 on their roster for next year. Teams may add another player late but it’s clear we are very near the end of recruiting for the 2020 season. How are you feeling about your team’s performance and the recruits they brought in?Last edited by Anchorage; 05-28-2020, 09:14 PM.

I'm equally as pleased with 3 guys they redshirted. One was Etan Collins, a good power forward who started as a true frosh in 2018-19, not sure why he redshirted last year, I just know he's good and hope he comes back. Drew Rippingham (Lassen and Umpqua) is a fine sharp-shooting JC guard, who redshirted; and R.J. Velez had a nice prep career in Woodburn (Oregon) and redshirted as a frosh last year, he's a point guard.
On the down note, very disappointed Emanuel Gant transferred out, as noted here a couple times. He brought a lot to the team, but it's time to move on. Wolves now seem to have depth at most positions.

UAA added a lot of shooting with Gilbert, Sweet and Garrity. 6’9 forward Ruzek will add size and versatility up front. And playmaking in the form of 5’11 freshman Moses. UAA also adds 2 redshirt freshman in 6’9 Center Hoosier and 6’2 SG Guzman.
UAA had a very successful recruiting class adding talented players that fit their system and fill needed roles. UAA should also be much bigger next year, size being something they have been lacking the last couple seasons.

I'm thinking NNU will pick it up this summer, they usually add an outstanding JC player; and I don't think Western Oregon is done just yet.
