First reported offer to a 2022 player: Drew Kania, a 6-8 205 lb forward from Gill St. Bernard's in NJ, the alma mater of Dom Hoffman. Kania has offers from Hofstra, Fairfield, and FDU. Also is receiving interest from multiple Ivy's, including Princeton. Although Dom is not allowed to recruit in his role as MOBO, his connection to GSB and its long-time coach, Mergin Sina, who also coached Dom, may help.

Three more offers: 1. Andrew Ball, a 6-8 wing from Shawnee HS (NJ), a suburb of Philly. This is his first offer. 2. Nick Martinelli, a 6-7 SF from a suburb of Chicago. Also has an offer from St. Thomas (MN), which is transitioning to D1. 3. Brady Muller, a 6-4 SG from Blair Academy (NJ). This is his first offer. The latter two are apparently Joe Meehan recruits.

Not worth a speculative thread on this one, but I noticed Josh Oduro, a 6-9 soph PF/C is transferring out of GMU. He is from northern VA and was recruited by the Bison out of HS. He listed Bucknell among his top six during the recruiting process. He averaged 19-25 mpg this year and is probably looking for something similar to the level of the A-10. I'd expect to see Dane Fischer actively involved.

Do not appear to be any “in-demand†players. Then again, maybe Davis and his staff know things the other 352 coaches do not know. |

Why does it matter? They’ll leave. Losing Deuce was the straw that broke this camel’s back. Men’s basketball is in a free fall and much like the tree that fell alone in the woods...... |

A Blair Academy teammate of Bison commit Brady Muller just committed to Duke. That teammate, Jaylen Blakes, had 21 D1 offers - which is 20 more than Muller has amassed. Blakes however is a 2021 grad.

Three more offers: 1. Andrew Ball, a 6-8 wing from Shawnee HS (NJ), a suburb of Philly. This is his first offer. . . . . In the 14 weeks since that offer, he has not picked up any others. From twitter today: "2022 6’8 guard Andrew Ball will be taking unofficial visits to Lehigh, Bucknell, and Lafayette over the next two weeks. Ball has already visited Princeton, Cornell and Boston, per source." https://twitter.com/jakelieberman2/status /14048527...

It’s the “no other offers†line that is troubling. Yes, although we have to remember that he committed in March. No HS season and no AAU competitions to evaluate him. Had he waited to commit and played AAU ball plus camps, he might have picked up offers. Have to hope the staff did a good job in evaluating him without a lot to go on. Only time will tell.

Offer to Luke Hunger, a 6-10 260 center from Montreal. Plays his HS ball at Northfield Mount Hermon.

Offer to Jackson Munro, a 6-8 PF from New Trier HS (IL). Has offers from Northeastern, Toledo, Indiana State, Lipscomb, Ft. Wayne, Loyola (MD), and Navy.

Over the past week, Ball committed to Monmouth, and Squires committed to Lafayette. Both Ball and Squires had made unofficial visits to Bucknell, but chose to go elsewhere. Counting the recent offers shown in the posts above, there are now 11 outstanding offers, a few which seem unlikely to be successful.

Agreed. They’ve been better than us recently. The SoCon is a good conference too. Furman doesn’t rank with Bucknell in terms of academics but I don’t think they’re far behind. It’s hard to know what motivates people though unless it’s first person. |

Furman over the last five years has ranked 106th, 95th, 59th, 81st, and 96th nationally (Pomeroy). Better than Bucknell each of the last four. The only negative is that they have faltered in the SoCon tournament every year. But it's a nice campus in a nice area.

It is now September. The Bison have one commitment - a gamble on a relative unknown in March. And there are only seven outstanding offers. Hopefully the staff is reasonably certain about landing at least one of these guys. Otherwise it seemingly is time for more offers - with two more spots to fill. Time to get nervous yet?

Kell committed to Western Carolina. Wasn't thinking when I posted that. The Western Carolina coach as of this spring is actually rookie head coach Justin Gray.

New offer to Brady Cummins, a 6-6 wing from Maine. Plays for the Brooks School in Massachusetts. Currently ranked #11 of Massachusetts players, although that ranking will likely drop in the fall. He will be entering his 5th year in HS. Has offers from UMass, Radford, South Alabama, and UNH. Cummins had Bucknell on his final list but, not surprisingly, opted for Colgate today. There are very few recruits still available with Bucknell offers.

Since this is a recruiting thread, I thought y’all wouldn’t mind if I passed along that Bucknell commit Paige Richter, from Camp Hill, just won the state 2A golf championship. Congratulations, Paige, and welcome to Bucknell. |
