What a great recruiting class...all built in what seems like a short amount of time however relationships formed by this entire staff led to all this...Bohanon would've  signed at Kent but relationship to Steinberg got him here...prior relationships to Slay got us Akuchie...Calhoun brought in Brown ...Covington and Morgan had to have crossed paths with this staff at some point....this solid foundation at a variety of positions will lead into next year's 4 player class...when these 8 are jrs and sophs and Morgan is a sr is when we jump to the class of the Horizon...cant wait to have 2 entire recruiting classes come through this program for 4 years...thats what will get us into the Dance for the first time

Going out on a limb and projecting this recruiting class as the one to win our league and get us to the NCAA's....i don't anticipate any transfers because Calhoun's style of ball will allow playing time for all....do we keep that last schoolies or find a 2 guard now to replace Morse...kinda thought we'd get a transfer to sit a year then slide into Cam's spot or a transfer pg to fill Santiago's

The Green comparison is a good one...Naz plays with an edge to him..very aggressive

What a great get! I was holding out hope that he chose us to play hoops instead of the route..this is exactly the kind of kid that will be a beast for us..rugged football mentality..if he was 6'7 he'd be in the Big 10. Great student too! Calhoun hit it into the upper deck on this one. One now schoolies and the transfer pg from Delaware St and he killed it on short recruiting time...wait til next year when Calhoun and Steinburg have a year to sell this program...i guarantee you Kent counted on that kid being in their class...JC post next I hope

I can't help but recall VASJ Coach Kwasnak's comments about Calhoun's ability to recruit good players but the "right" players..
To me that means guys that fit his style..his records at FSU lead me to believe he can do that...i expect much better contributions from Rahim Williams Hartsfield and Devin Haygood because they seem to fit his "run and stun" style...the fact that he must go deeper in his bench to play that way should stop guys from constantly transferring out...Keene..Andrews..Weber..Umude were perfect for this style...cant wait to see it all come together...we need a transfer 2 guard to sit out and then step in for Morse...Rob Edwards from Cleve St seems perfect

I have a feeling he brings in a JC post of some type and 2 transfers who will sit out

Just rewatched a bit of Brown's video...i saw a kid that hasn't even come close to filling out his frame but has the skills to be a good when he does...its easy to see the obvious..a solid looking stroke that seems fine for spot up 3's ...and surely the height to play inside...he finished plays with either hand but look at the little things I noticed
..he sealed nicely inside despite his thin frame and the thing I really loved with how he moved his feet on defense..he seemed a willing defender....with college coaching and physical maturity Jacob Brown looks like a great get...if you think he's nothing but a D2 player don't you think Calhoun would realize that too...

I disagree..take a close look at Brown..he needs to get stronger but skills are there

Brown needs at least 20 lbs of muscle and is skilled  but I love how he moved his feet defensively in his videos..Covington seems to be a bit of a sleeper because he relocated and slipped through some cracks...also looking to add a transfer of from Del St who made all league as a soph...Devin Morgan

Add 6'9" Jacob Brown from Clemmons Nd to the commitment list..Calhoun making an immediate impact

He did have some good offers...plus just go play for your Dads program at CCU...better to leave now than 1  or 2 years into it. This should give Calhoun 4 scholarships to work with..intetesting who he brings in

Seeing as how we have never made the NCAA's or the NIT I'd take his record in a heartbeat....great article on Kent's basketball program in the Plain Dealer...their president said that making this year's NCAA's got them an estimated 30 million in free advertising...imagine what that first appearance would mean to us
