In this video you will see highlights of Michael Akuchie,Tyree Robinson,Braun Hartfield,and Jacob Brown.  They start putting the names to the player highlights at the 25 second mark.   Mostly dunks.

We're going to have an athletic team that's for sure. Akuchie and Robinson have serious bounce. Saw a lot of former Akron Zips playing as well. Good competition for our boys.

I love the way Braun gets distance and was able to shoot fully extended. You get caught up in a half-court contest and he is going to come out on top.

Watched about 4 games with YSU players on youtube.   There's a mix of talent with small college,mid-majors and some pros who play in Europe.   Defense is optional and the games are played with very little intensity.  Like a NBA all star game.
The one YSU player that impressed me was juco transfer Noe Anabir.  Noe finished around the basket and showed a nice touch from three which I didn't expect. 

Cam and Braun looked like they can get theirs when ever they wanted.

Michael Akuchie and Jacob Brown played against each other and I thought Jacob looked a little better in that game.  Akuchie struggled and seem to show some frustration.  Got to remember a couple a month ago these two were dancing at their senior prom and now they are competing against grown men.  Skill sets there but strength was an issue but will come with maturation.

Tyree Robinson was able to score around the basket and he rebounds well in traffic.  Has deceptive length and good ups.   He could be a dominant rebounder at YSU if he makes up his mind to.

These type of games are tough to evaluate but you can tell when someone is uber talented.

My only question was how did Jessie Hardin from WGH NOT get a YSU offer ????

Update how Penguins are doing in summer league.
Cam Morse in 3 games 20 ppg
Devin Morgan 3 games 21.3 ppg
Tyree Robinson in 3 games 17.6 ppg
Francisco Santiago in 4 games 19.5 ppg
Naz Bohannon in 3 games  17 ppg
Braun Hartfield in 4 games 14.8 ppg
Devin Haygood in 3 games 13 ppg 18 reb in one of his games.
Noe Anibar in 4 games 11.5 ppg
Geoff hamperian in 4 games  9.5 ppg
Jeremiah Ferguson in 3 games 9.3 ppg
Garrett Covington in 3 games 7.3 ppg
Michael Akuchie in 3 games  9.7 ppg
Jacob Brown in 4 games 10.3 ppg
Alex Wilborn in 1 game 10 ppg

Not much to read into these numbers.  If anyone saw these games you can see it's a lot of run & gun and some very selfish play.

What I saw on YouTube wouldn't be described as a defensive clinic, that's for sure.  But the guys can get up and down the floor and get the ball through the hoop.  Coach will have a slightly different approach to D I suspect!  Looking forward to great seasons in both MBB and FB. 
Anybody have updates on the Nikki Arbanas and Sarah Cash injuries in WBB?  Last season was really a downer with the injuries.  If healthy they can compete at least as well as the men.  (and their GPA will also be MUCH higher!)  Not one of these ladies will make a $ playing BB and thier grades show they understand "student athlete" better than most!  This is a team to be proud of!

Putting on some nice muscle.
Does the FB team publish this?  Would be very interested in DL progress.

For my money there are 2 groups of people relative to YSU MBB.  Those that haven't followed a single thing this whole off season (truth is, most of the population) and those that have followed what's going on and are WILDLY ENTHUASTIC ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING!  Our job is to do what we can to move more people from the first group to the second.  Take a friend to see the 'quins.  Either FB or BB!!  (please note, I don't care WBB or MBB, I think they're both worth watching)
