A place where I can be a big fish in a smaller pond and become a legend rather than just another great player who went to “school X” who is somewhat lost in history.” I’d anticipate he’d initially get more attention nationally just for making such a bold move. Heck, the player might even make the cover of Sports Illustrated. ;) I suppose with NIL it becomes even less likely for that to happen in this day and age and would probably have to be someone with few financial needs going to school too. Uh oh…I think the potential population for this to happen is shrinking. Oh well I’ll hope and dream for it to happen anyway.

The lure of being the player who puts a school "on the map" has to have appeal to some players. The key is finding that guy. I'm not as cynical as some on here. I still believe that players with that mindset do exist on the current landscape, be they few and far between. The key to our recruiting though is to continue to find those diamonds-in-rough and develop them.

Those guys also exist, but they are a small subset of the rough diamond population. Recruiting these days is getting trickier and trickier.

Keeping them then becomes the issue. He most likely won't get this one...but, from a marketing standpoint, its good for Ohio to be in the discussion on these highly rated prospects. I like that Boals goes for it. "The name's Ohio University, but everybody calls me Ohio. Any of you guys call me Ohio U, and I'll kill you."

Hard to get a good read on his skill just based on how the game went. First Sycamore possession, he powered through his defender and Shaq-slammed it. From there Princeton committed to double and triple teaming his post touches, so he got very few good looks. Ended up fouling out. Best thing I could say about him is he looks plenty comfortable in his body already. Some places list him 6'11" which I think is generous. Solidly 6'9" for sure at least. Probably around 210 lbs. Very bouncy and can run the floor like a gazelle. Physically he looks like a late stage Ivo Baltic. I'd like to see him against someone who has a post player who could guard him one on one. This performance was skewed. Princeton has a nice lead guard named Keven Adorno who I learned is in Puerto Rico's youth FIBA program. He really imposed his will on the game. Alpha dog type. Keep an eye out.

All you need is a good coach and a rich booster.

No, but if you're going to Purdue, you're very likely going to sit to start your career. They still operate as close to old school as any school in the country does.
