Always good to keep in mind that almost everyone we end up with sounds good on paper and draws raves. For example, here from SBU announcing Okoli:
"Okoli will graduate from St. John Bosco High in June. He played 14 games this season, averaging 19.6 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game while connecting on 48 percent of his shots overall and 35 percent from three-point range. As a junior, Okoli averaged 13 points and 7.1 rebounds per game.
"Big Shots Report ranked Okoli the 46th-best player in the class of 2018 from the state of California. He is a three-star player in the major recruiting rankings. Mark Schmidt: "He'll continue to work to develop and improve, but we feel that we've gotten a really good player who can help us right away."

Calm before the Storm...Crickets...It got quiet all of sudden.....Sending positive VIBES & MOJO out to the staff and team to continue finding the necessary pieces to the puzzle for next season and beyond...... And still wishing for Jackie Johnson to join us and start the next generation of awesome Bonnies as well as for our newest member AKC to send the text out..."hey Oumar my friend come join us for a great ride".... We got something really special here in Olean ....Not even counting The Burton, Beef & Barrel or Tasta Pizza. Go Bona's!

UGH! JOHNSON to Duquesne! Like I said--we still need two impact players for this year (beyond our two transfers)....guys we've tracked, not "who's he?"

We will get to see just how good Johnson is in the RC. He should be a star.
Not surprised he elected immediate playing time over watching. He has stated how important winning is to him. If in a couple of years the DUKES don't become a force in the A10 we may see him in the transfer portal. However my bet is that, for him, playing time trumps winning and for that reason he stays 4 years.

Johnson made the wrong call and I'm not just sayin it cause he didn't choose us. Its sad to see players get conned by Dambrot. There is a laundry list of guys like him that played a year or two for Dambrot and had to transfer out

Johnson seemed like a great fit for the many reasons we've already discussed. I think he views himself as someone who can move Duquesne up the conference and I'll be interested to see how he progresses there.

Some observations. Brian Moore is a complete guard who would be an excellent recruit for our backcourt. The film on him is interesting revealing a package of moves. I thought JJ was the answer until you see Brian. He is hard nose out of Harlem and is not afraid of challenging bigs and slashing to the rim. Nice jumper with NBA range. Plays within a team concept which was my biggest concern with JJ.

There is a laundry list of guys like him that played a year or two for Dambrot and had to transfer out. Dambrot has 2 of 3 starting PG transfer, so it is not necessarily bad. Johnson might be using this as a prep year until Kyle graduates.
