Yeah, I have no idea how this staff has not landed a 7' who can run and stuff the lane yet, while protecting the rim and wiping the boards clean.

I give you a lot of credit, BTC. Not for your reply but for the fact that you were actually able to decipher what Bobcat 2000 posted. I know I had trouble decoding his post.

Totally worth the effort, though…

AJ Clayton is only 17. He has another growth spurt and he could be a 7'...

There's a 6'11" kid at Gonzaga they really should have landed, right? 😉🤣🤣

How a kid that size would ever go to Gonzaga over OHIO just blows my mind.

A ranking of the top 22 players in Ohio by local sportswriters. Elmore is listed but not in the top 10. Ajay is listed as an honorable mention. They listed former Bobcat target, Tom House as being an honorable mention as well which, seems a bit sketchy considering he signed with Florida State. Hmm...

Go Bobcats!

I wouldn't put a lot of stock in these ratings since they aren't coming from recruiting experts.

All four of these guys are red hot to start their seasons. This class is the real deal.

I thought I read where this was a top 50 class? Not sure if anyone can find legit rankings. But all of these guys have the look of home run recruits. This staff is putting in serious work and none of us should be surprised.
All four of these guys are absolutely blowing up during their senior seasons. I wonder how many Power 5 conferences are going to regret not getting them.

Scary for the rest of the MAC with what Boals has coming in and returning for 2022-2023.....especially if DW3 is in the mix.

Like others, I have been excited about this class since they signed on back in November. After today's turn of events? Not so much. If any or all of them are as good as advertised they'll be gone within a year or two.

Wondering how many P5 coaches are regretting not signing them? Not me as they'll poach them as soon as they build up enough credentials at OUr level of minor league basketball.

It's time to join Jeff Mac as a DIII fan. Jump on the Denison Big Red bandwagon and follow a college team consisting of actual college student-athletes.

Can someone convince me that I should continue to invest in OUr basketball program in particular and MAC hoops in general when too many of the players aren't?

I'm staying optimistic about next season. We have some great young talent coming in including a preferred walkon in Ben Estis who I'm very high on. Who knows, we could have a breakout freshman next year.
