YsuPride:
Dmorton-

I wish I knew why we cannot land a big man or two.  Plenty of 6-7 to 6-9 guys in juco and in our general area of Ohio and W. Pa.  What about recruiting the Pittsburgh area they always have 10-15 guys go D1 from that area each year?  I see we lost Tre Brown from Harding to Cleveland St.  You are not kidding when you said Slocum cannot recruit Ohio.  We cannot even get the D1 local prospects to come here.  D'andre Brown went to Cleve. St and the kid from Kennedy Christian who's name escapes me went to UNC-Greensboro and is doing really good.   I just want to see a solid winning year sometime in my lifetime.  Maybe I am asking too much.

Hey Pride Kyle Randall is the kid from Kennedy who went to UNC Greensboro. He is doing OK at Greenboro but not sure he would improve our guard play. We do have two pretty good kids at that position and they are freshman and sophmore. Marsall Holden was Kyles running mate at guard for a couple of years at Kennedy. He finally graduated from Farrell. He is currently at San Jacinto JC. I honestly don't know if we tried to recruit either one. We did recruit Blair Rosenblad who was an upperclass team mate of both at Kennedy.

Wick250:
In that controversial Vindicator interview with Strollo, Scalzo noted that in the past decade the Mahoning Valley sent about 20 athletes to the National Football League but only one kid played DI basketball for four full seasons (several began in such programs then transferred to a lower level.)  Those of you who criticize Slocum have plenty of shortcomings to emphasize, but the man cannot be blamed for failing to recruit nonexistent local DI prospects.  The absolutely putrid nature of local high school basketball might be the single most significant drawback for YSU, regardless of the head coach. If you do not believe that, try watching a televised replay of a local high school basketball game. 

Dmorton:
I personally like Slocum, and hope he gets one more year with the guys on the team now.  That's if they stay together,but that is never the case.  But darn it, please get some 6-8, 6-9 guys to help Eargle out and contribute around the basket.   We constantly get beat underneath and don't have enough scoring on the wing position or center position.

So right.  Unwatchable.
