I started putting him in as a commit and realized it was just an offer.  He looks good but has some decent other offers but would fit in nicely.

A note on Nelson is that he was a starter for Richmond 2 seasons ago which is an Atlantic 10 school so this guy brings some value.   I know some do not like 3 schools in 3 years but this is the NIL/portal era.

Played one season at Louisiana and one at Eastern Washington.  Averaged 20 points a game at his NAIA school.

Coming together recruiting class. Just need I believe  1 more rt?

Ucf, thanks for the posting. Ty Harper seems to be very quick and athletic. He reminds me of Cohill.
As for Nelson, sorry, after the last couple of years, I am just not too thrill on 5’10 guards anymore.

[ucfpengbuck]

My count has us at 11 scholarships with two openings.   I think we need a little muscle at the forward position.   We have enough pt guards and off guards.   Small forwards are set and we have the bigs in the post to protect the rim.
On paper it looks like a nice roster similar to what coach C would of brought in the last couple of seasons.  You don't win championships on paper so like almost every other team in the portal era we need to see how the chemistry comes together.
I'm the glass is half full type but I'm really excited on the way coach Faulkner is structuring this program.  Have some guys coming in with D1 experience that have a history of scoring the ball.

Faulkner will be speaking at the Curbstone coaches today.  We should have better understanding of the season and recruits.  He should have a few players present I would guess.

One of the reporters quoted coach Faulkner that he'll have 2-3 more players committed within the next 72 hours.  I thought they only had room for two.     Said that Toledo and W Michigan will be at Beeghly this upcoming season.

Stephen F. Austin will host a Multi-Team Event (MTE) November 21st through 23rd, featuring Monmouth, Presbyterian, and Youngstown State, per sources.

Full Round-Robin. Three games per squad in three days. All games played inside The Sawmill.


It's very hard to fly to Nacogdoches Texas.  Shreveport La is about 97 miles away

[YsuPride]

Also in talks with Ohio St, Syracuse, Providence.   Coach says we are close to signing the contract to play at Ohio St.

Cris Carroll will be in this weekend for a visit.  According to coach...

Thanks for the update.  Where did you see the info at ?

If true, I like the aggressive scheduling.  With the transfer portal, NIL, lack of funding, Beeghly upgrades I think YSU needs to be aggressive with regard to chasing money games.
