There’s three open ships left. So two to fill and one for the next Brett Roseboro. It was my understanding from the Schmidt podcast that they will probably leave 2 open, filling only 11 for now. I haven't listened to that yet. Leaving two open would be unusual and somewhat illogical in my opinion, but I'm not the winningest coach in program history. Leaving an open ship out in a year when everyone is getting one extra year and there's about 400 more transfers than usual, with JuCo and High School recruits available, when you're looking at your entire starting 5 graduating seems ill advised. I do appreciate the comments I saw in the summaries of the interview that referred to team chemistry as the reason, rather than waiting for someone to become available late. Given that Brett Roseboro is the only late decommit that I recall us adding.

Per SBU Unfurled, New Mexico has brought on a transfer from TCU and is now at 14 players on its roster... does this mean Linton is going to be a Bonnie??? One would have to assume he has a wolf preference, given New Mexico and us in his final three.

Linton tweeted 6pm.
Let's not forget about Southern Miss, when I looked at their roster there seemed to be a lot of space for someone from a minutes standpoint.
I'm still thinking that Coach Schmidt was saying two more scholarships in that podcast, a guard and a combo forward. That was recorded before we got the commitment from Joryam. I guess we'll see.

Recorded before the commitment or the announcement? I would assume Schmidt already knows if Brown’s announcement is worth tuning in for tonight or not.

It's a small world after all.
The guy that New Mexico just got from TCU, is Taryn Todd, a three star shooting guard, 6-5, 180 sg, played in 26 games for TCU last year avg 4.5 pig. Todd redshirted his first year at TCU after playing a year at Finldlay Prep. Todd is from Toronto and played in the BioSteel all Canada game as a high schooler.

Linton just announced live going to SBU--loves the atmosphere and fan base! On local TV. Poolside. Promises to work hard. Quite a local celeb.

SBUunfurled has reported the following, Linton Brown will make his announcement... In a "Here for the Bonnies" shirt. The Bonnies get their 2nd addition of the weekend, as the 6-5 Indian River State guard commits to St. Bonaventure. The sharpshooting wing chose the Bonnies over New Mexico and Southern Miss.

Outstanding! Welcome, Mr. Brown to our corner of hoop heaven.
What's the latest on the Ridgnal sweepstakes...anyone? anyone?

For sure, hoping you can bring some Florida sunshine our way:). You could not have picked a better place to refine your craft, both in terms of basketball and the Jandoli Schoo of Journalism. We can't wait to get you to campus. All the best.
I'm with ohs73, really hoping we are still in the Dalen derby. With our two commits this week and Dalen joining the crew this would be IMO a legit top ten team. I am hoping Coach Schmidt's comments in the latest podcast, which included adding a combo forward was made with Dalen in mind.
I would love to see the new group with Dalen scrimmage are incumbent group. I think our fan base would pay to watch something like that. Midnight madness pay for view?

Have to wonder--from those who have experienced/studied more teams from the past than I have--if this talented team 11 deep is now right up there with most deep/talented teams in recent decades. Of course we know some will not work out fully, and/or transfer, but given you have starting 5 that just got a 9 seed in NCAA, and now with these additions--again, just based on highlights talent--where does this group of 11 rank ?

Add Dalen Ridgnal = Legitimate Final Four Contender.

letsgobonas, my sentiments exactly. That's a pretty tall order for our staff, who IMO have walked on water, in finding some great talent and also making the case for why St Bonaventure. So important that we get as many players to summer school this year. The first session starts in about two weeks. With the influx of new faces, the fact that Coach Fiske was limited in what he could do, guys like Shoon, who wanted to work on his shot, the list goes on.....
Dalen Ridgnal is the guy. There were a lot of talented players on his Cowley County CC team that took there season within a hair of the national title, and I see him touting his teammates on Twitter, helping them to their next step. He to me is such an important part of our next step. In the words of one of our coaches, speaking generally about the recruiting process "We'll just have to see". That's all we can ask for as Bonnies, a chance.
