So what's the over/under on number of pages that we will generate with this recruiting class??? I see the 2020 Tab Generated 56 pages of BonaFan Passion....Not sure what year holds the record for number of pages....So I ask the question how many pages in 2021 to fill out our roster?? Over/Under 56?....So ready to hear some news from the staff on the latest New Bonnie.... Go Bonas! Depends. Are we counting the numerous recruiting pages in the transfer thread as well? If so we are almost there 😀

Joryam is a complete guard who can play point and shooting guard. He would be a handful for anyone to defend. He is quick, can shoot it from anywhere, is tenacious slicing to the rim,finishes with both hands, and can create his own shot. Did I mention his court awareness? This kid will have the Reilly Center on it's feet constantly. I am very excited that we might have the possibility of him becoming a Bonnie and the team lightning rod.

Is it me, or does he scissor kick on his jumper, and will this be a problem at a high college level?. I bet he scissored kick on 80% of his deep jumpers.

I believe the scissor kick is exactly 33% why Terry Bradshaw was attracted to JoJo Starbuck in the first place

Joryam Saizonou has really impressive athleticism. In dunk contests, I’ve seen tall guys jumping over players for a dunk, but I’ve never seen a 6’3” point guard do it (first attached link). Rivals' writer Jamie Shaw has Joryam Saizonou as his “diamond in the rough”. -- The 6-foot-3 guard is currently unranked and does not carry any offers, so it does not get any more "in the rough" than Saizonou. The "diamond" of projecting the Beckley IJN senior to the highest level is he has the skill and IQ to be a point guard and the length and shooting ability to play the shooting guard equally as effectively. Saizonou, who is originally from the Netherlands, simply has not been seen as his time in West Virginia has largely coincided with COVID. Not only does Saizonou have diamond in the rough potential, he will be in the conversation for the Rivals 150. In his big matchups this season Saizonou has had games of 32 against Massanutten, 24 against Hargrave, 24 against Liberty Heights and 21 against ISA, his output has been consistently efficient and it has been thoroughly impressive. Jamie Shaw has Joryam as his “break out player player of the day” at CBG Tournament. -- Let me introduce you Joryam Saizono. The 6-foot-3 point guard, originally from the Netherlands, finished with 31 points while going 11 of 21 from the field with six assists and two steals. He did a bit of everything on the floor, showing comfort on and off the ball. Saizonou has great length and an advanced skill base. He sees the floor exceptionally well, allowing plays to unfold and slotting pocket passes into the tightest of spaces. He shoots the ball very well off movement and he has a deadly, left-handed hesitation that got him into the paint at will. Saizonou said he studies Ja Morant relentlessly. Yes, he is a true point guard, but he can also play off the ball. Saizonou has fielded calls from Montana State, Eastern Michigan, Oral Roberts, Northern Kentucky, UC Riverside and others, but no offers have come through yet. In a normal year, we would be talking about Saizonou having numerous offers to choose from, but being from the Netherlands, in West Virginia, during a COVID-19 shutdown, exposure has been limited. I would not be surprised to see schools from the Mid-Atlantic, Colonial Athletic, Atlantic 10 or Missouri Valley jump in here. Prep Hoops has following about Joryam at CBG Tournament. Saizonou stole the show in the The Commonwealth Basketball Group has been busy this fall and winter putting on different events for teams that can’t play due to the coronavirus pandemic. Have to subscribe to read rest of article. Relentless Hoop Camp -- Joryam Saizonou was one of the top performers & best under-the-radar prospects at the Relentless Hoop Military Circuit. Lots of talent & potential. Marshall message board has a thread on Joryam Saizonou. A few interesting comments from their message board. — Can't pass up this kid. He scored 36-24-24 against some of the best prep schools out there including Hargrove. — Everyone wants to look at the competition recruits played against. This kid put up some great numbers against the elite prep teams. — St. Bonny may be tough to beat out for him They already beat us out of one recruit. — St.Bonny's coach must be one heck of a recruiter. The school is located in Orleans, NY and play in a 5400 seat arena built in 1966. I don't think Orleans has a summer season. St Bonny is in the Atlantic 10 so they must spend money on basketball. I do remember they had some great teams back in the day with Bab Lanier. Joryam Saizonou is a very interesting prospect. -- Rival's Jamie Shaw says Joryam "will be in the conversation for the Rivals 150." -- Numerous time he has been called "under the radar" which occurred, because of an international player playing in the US during COVID, which limited his exposure. -- Against 2 of the top prep schools in the country, he scores 32 against Massanutten and 24 against Hargrave. -- Rival has him as a 3 star recruit. Also I can't think of a former Bonnie PG with Joryam's athleticism. Can anyone think of a Bonnie PG that can do a dunk jumping over another player? www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-h5WNoA4Rkbasketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/rivals-roundtable-coaching-hires-iverson-classic-2021-sleeperswww.herdfans.com/12thman/herd-fans/new-hoops-offer-joryam-saizonou-class-of-2021/

Also I can't think of a former Bonnie PG with Joryam's athleticism. Can anyone think of a Bonnie PG that can do a dunk jumping over another player? Wasn't David Capers 6'3"? He wasn't a point guard, but he could sky.

Also I can't think of a former Bonnie PG with Joryam's athleticism. Can anyone think of a Bonnie PG that can do a dunk jumping over another player? Wasn't David Capers 6'3"? He wasn't a point guard, but he could sky. I remember the dunk contest between freshmen 6’3” David Capers and 6’2” Antoine Wills. It was the highlight of the 1995 March Madness. Both Capers and Wills were heralded recruits, with a reputation of being able to sky. Both were impressive dunkers, but clearly Antoine Wills had the higher vertical and the better dunks. I walked away thinking Antoine Wills was going to be a future star for the Bonnies. Check out Wills impressive credentials. — Named the Montgomery County player of the year and a first-team Washington Post all-metro selection. — Led JFK to a 20-4 record and a berth in the regional finals. — Averaged 30.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists. He shot 47 percent from the field and 83 percent from the line. — Participated in the McDonald's All-American Classic, scored 21 points and won the slam dunk contest. It turned out David Capers with the less impressive credentials and less impressive vertical was the much better player (averaging double digits as a junior and senior). Wills vertical was the only advantage he had over Capers. David was a physical, hard nose, solid defensive player, who was driven to become a better player. David was everything that Wills was not. A skinny, poor defensive player, who lacked the drive like David. Wills left Bona after just 2 years, while David was a double digit scorer for Baron's 2000 NCAA tournament team. Antoine Wills credentials is from Buffalo News article "Bona shores up backcourt guards from New Jersey and DC." Unable to post link, without subscribing. I found it by googling Antoine Wills and St. Bonaventure.

Speechless, I was going to cut and paste the comments that Jamie Shaw from rivals.com had made on Joryam Saizonou, but Chuck beat me to it. As ever great work, Chuck. It sounds like Marshall just down the road is going to be our competition. I was reading about the Beckley Prep coach also a story unto himself. I keep saying to myself player, after player, after player we find these guys. Wow if we could get Joryam and Delan or either one. Great works guys, now I've got to use my fingers on both hands. That's ok, I've also got two feet and we've got a couple more ships left.
Speaking of which the Cowley Tigers play for the national jc title tonight at 6pm, the team they play they have faced twice this year, Coffeyville cc, and they split the two games. The competition for Dalen Ridgdal will only get tougher, but I look at Georgia and E Carolina and they've both got at least two guys at the small forward spot, we really don't have a small forward per se, Adaway is really a big guard, who has played the 3 and mostly the 4 all year for us. Coulibaly, I believe is our new 4, with coach's system the numbers don't seem to mater as much. That said id Dalen joins the Bonnies we're going to find time for him, no doubt in my mind.

Joryam Saizonou seems to have everything and could team with Quadry Adams to make a great backcourts for the future and provide support for next year. Now let's sign him.

I don't know that this is new, but I had not seen it yet. It's a video that Joryam talks a little bit about what he's looking for and about becoming a better player. Joryam just oozes ability, talk about a marriage made in heaven, Joryam's drive to improve and what we can see already, he comes to Bonaventure which hands down is one of the best coaching staffs in the country in developing players. www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-h5WNoA4Rk&t=187s

At the half, Coffeeville cc leads Cowley CC 60-40. it seems to be question of one team shooting the ball better. Cowley having difficulty hitting from deep. Dalen Ridgdal with 11 fist half points. Coffeeville has considerable more size than Cowley CC, in particular Blaise Ketta, 6'10" 235, freshman from Mali, has four blocks and 15 points. Coffeeville shooting 63% for the half. Cowley came back from a 25 pt second half deficit, but this is a much bigger team. Ridgdal and the Cowley Tigers have won 15 in a row which has been a magical season.

in the national jc final, Coffeeville 108 Cowley 99. I was listening to the game and missed a good portion of the second half, Cowley was down 20 att he half and chipped away at the lead and several chances it was 102-99 with over a minute left and then there were three back to back to back charge calls and Cowley never got any closer. I didn't get the details, but Dalen Ridgdal went down with some type of injury with 15 minutes left in the game and never returned.
