YSU Penguin Athletics / YSU 71 Canisius 43
« on: December 11, 2021, 04:48:02 PM »
Largest numerical victory in the Calhoun era. Mayes & Olison combine 1 of 10 but no problem the bench came in and produced.
Luke Chicone had 6 points and more important 8 assists. Very cerebral running the offense.
Dwayne Cohil had 18 and 11 rebounds. Looks more confident every game.
Owen Long 4-5 from the field with two 3s for 11points.
Chris Shelton was 3 of 6 for 8 points.
Akuchie 12 points on only 7 attempts.
Great team win with many minutes from the bench. Got to say the transfer portal has been good to YSU this season.

17% from the 3 pt line and 32% over all is not going to win you a game.
Not sure there's any coheisiveness with this team at this time. Niagara is a good team and would be at the top of the Horizon league . watched them play against OSU and they were in that game.

Buzzer beater from 35 ft. Life with out Garrett Covington who may be out for the season with an achillies injury.
YSU led the whole game but did not handle the 3 quarter press that SIUE used. 18 turnovers by YSU but give SIEU credit with their length. YSU cold from three going 5 of 17 while SIEU was 9 of 19 and they were supposedly not a good 3 pt shooting team. That was one of the games YSU needed to win on their home court.

St Thomas shot 17 of 34 from the 3 point line. Garrett Covington left the game in the 1st half withn an injury not sure what his status is. Akuche had 20. Hunter and Olison were both in in double figures. Luke Chicone was 4 of 4 and looked good running the offense,

Couldn't find a lot on Kaleb. Saw some video from his twitter page. Looks like a Garret Covington type which could be a good thing,
Not criticism of coach but I think he would love to play 5 guys that are 6-5 to 6-6.

YSU looking good on the road. Up 20 with about 4 minutes to go. Luke Chicone really looked good in his time on the court.
97- 79 nice win on the road. SEMO was preseason 4th pick in the OVC.

« on: November 07, 2021, 06:20:43 PM »
Wednesday 8:30 on the big ten channel.
Nine new players between transfers and freshmen. Lost two good ones in Naz and DQ.
Who starts ? I'm thinking Covington,Akuchie,Rathan Mayes and not sure who else. Dwayne Cohill was a former 4 star who played at Dayton and Tevin Olison put up big numbers at the naia level seem to give the Penguins some fire power.
Jamir Thomas has great size but coach seems to like those 6'5" to 6'6" guys that can play three positions. Myles Hunter fits the discription and showed flashes last season.
Not sure about the frosh although Josh Irwin has an upper classmen body and can stroke it from behind the line.
Hampton trasfer Chris Shelton Has two years of D1 experience and put up a high percentage from the 3 pt line.
Hopefully Alex Vargo, Will Dunn and Daniel Ogoro can take their games to a new level with last years experience.
Grayson Kelly was hurt last season and Owen Long another tranfer that averged 19 a game at sub d1 level might get some minutes.
With so many guys with an expended(covid)roster it looks like there are more questions at this time.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Corey Tripp of Medina basketball
« on: March 09, 2021, 06:53:35 PM »
I don't want to be one of those fans that throws out random prospects and wonders why but on this one I can't understand why YSU hasn't offered. Corey has offers from Bowling Green and Cleveland state.
I believe Coach Calhoun can recruit against those school and a great selling point is having Luke Chicone signed who is the best point guard in Ohio that will give a scoring guard like Corey the passes that will make him succeed.
Don't want to offend coach or his staff but they offer these players from North Carolina or d2 transfers when you have a gem in your back yard.

YSU Penguin Athletics / YSU vs Rochester Mi
« on: February 08, 2021, 06:06:46 PM »
Not sure if Rochester is d2 or naia but Penguins struggled to win. Lack of intensity or just playing at the opponents level ? Shot only 37% and 28% from three. Maybe I should just give Rochester credit. Their coach had them playing decent defense.
Coach C had to full court press a lot of 2nd half to change the tempo.
Posivtives of the game were Akuchie and Vargo. Was looking for DQ to have a big game but he did not play well. Same for Greyson Kelly . Kelly got one shot off in 4 minutes of playing time.

1st half up 31-28 but only shooting 11 of 31. Amazingly 8 of 8 from the line. Both teams struggling to shoot with both teams playing hard man to man D.

If you have time check out YSU recruits Josh Irwin and Michael Lucarotti. Josh Has a great stroke from three and Michael who didn't play his best but you can see his tremendous athletic ability . He also runs the point which at 6-4 is pretty impresive.
YPSI has MSU recruit Emoni bates who is the #1 hs player in the 2022 class and they have 5 guys 6-8 and over on their roster. This Isn't Struthers vs Poland(no offense) but big time hs b-ball with rosters full of d1 guys.

- If DQ plays we win.
-Frosh Mayes,Dunn,Vargo showing growth.
-CSU beating us off the dribble with individual drives to the hoop.
-Better showing on offense and beating their press.
