I think this thread is definitely worthwhile and insightful, but I'd also add that Coach Boals is not necessarily going to recruit the same players at Ohio as he did at Stony Brook. MAC > America East. (Any America East people who may read this, this isnt meant as an insult. It's just a fact, like comparing a Power 5 conference to the MAC).
Oh, I agree they won't necessarily do that. I do think it's possible that for 2019 they'd lean on some of the work they've already done. On the other hand, they may have a list of guys they knew they couldn't get to Stony Brook, but they could get to Athens they'll be talking to. And, it's also probably heavily dependent on how many, and which players choose to stay at Ohio.
In terms of quality, while I agree MAC > America East, it's worth noting that this staff has already offered a handful of 3* and 4* kids at Stony Brook. That could mean they were already targeting the types of players that would do well here. (see the verbal commits page)
