In this video you will see highlights of Michael Akuchie,Tyree Robinson,Braun Hartfield,and Jacob Brown. They start putting the names to the player highlights at the 25 second mark. Mostly dunks.

Little insight on coach Calhoun's press conference. It's May 23rd and I'm pumped about YSU basketball.
Coach talks about some of the recruits and they'll all be on campus on June 8th.

Mike'l Simms 6-5 225 of Cowley CC KS has been offered. He just finished his freshmen season and led them in scoring as a frosh. I'm guessing that this offer has to be for 2018 a heir apparent type for Cameron Morse.
Video was great (aren't they always). Saw that he had 45 pts in one game.
His size seems to be a prototype that Calhoun goes after.

I too suffer with unbridled optimism. You can call it euphoric,nuts, or unrealistic . We are not really sure what these nine newcomers bring to division one basketball. Can coach Calhoun duplicate his wins at the next level ?
If you would have told me after the Horizon league semifinal loss that we would bring in a new young coach with a tremendous winning pedigree and he would sign 9 guys this late in the process,I would thought you were dreaming.
I know the new guys were not the highest rated d1 recruits and some might not be ready for this level. It was still fun to come home and check the web sites to see a new verbal and to watch their game film. It's a fresh start to what I believe is going be a new era in YSU basketball. It might not be this coming season but it's going to be real soon.
We have five returning players and one (Morse) is going to one of the all time great Penguin. Hartfield and Santiago could start for most teams in our league. I'm confident with what we have returning and what we have coming in we should be competitive. We know what it's like to finish near the bottom of the Horizon and have for multiple seasons . We have had a fan from another team post on our board in the past and question whether another lesser league would be better for us.
It's a long way to November and I hope all the new guys stay committed. I think Calhoun's going to work the community and look for Beeghly to have a different sound this season.
Maybe I'm getting too hyped. Time will tell.

Also, Geoff Hamperian has joined the team as a walk-on. 6-5 F/G from University School in WV.
Hamperian is a great athlete,it makes me wonder why he's not going the d2 route. Nice player to go up against in practice.

Calhoun has brought in NINE new players with Devin Morgan sitting out this year. I hope these guys can play since we have had a lot guys in the past who couldn't play dead in a cowboy movie.
We have a center,power forwards,small forwards,two guards,and a point guard in this historical haul.
The only thing we might not have is that designated 3 point shooter(zone buster) that many teams have . DeAndra Murphy might be that guy although I'm not sure if he's a walk on or on scholarship.
I'm so glad we have guys like Naz Bohannon and Tyree Robinson. The strong power guys have given YSU fits in the past and now we can match up.
Not sure what the starting line up is next season but Morse,Santiago,and Hartfield will start. Got to believe with 2 years in the Horizon league that Haygood would be a starter but he'll be pushed. Haygood has really improved from his freshman year to his Sophomore season so if he pushes it little more he'll be solid and he has help.
I really believe that Braun Hartfield is going to take it to another level next season. He really came on during the Horizon part of the season while barely playing early. He has the skills to be all conference.
Warning to the Horizon league,YSU basketball is going to be a tough out starting this November.

Tyree Robinson Odessa CC 6-5 220 lb. Listed as a forward on their roster. 12.8 ppg and 7 rebounds playing an average of 15 minutes a game . shot 66% from the field. I thinks we're done with next years roster.
HS senior numbers were 25.7 ppg 14 rebounds 5.5 blocks in the Boston area (actually 50 miles south of Boston). I just watched his video and he's a monster inside who mostly dunks. I read were he was going to commit to New Mexico state. Looks like a big pickup for the Penguins. He 's the guy you want getting off the bus first.

Wilbourn is going to be a nice addition . He needs to continue to add muscle but if you watch his high school sr video and contrast that to his 2nd year at CC it's like two different guys. He has added strength and athleticism. Whether it's being 2 years older or he got in the weight room or both.
We're not at this point going to get a 4 star or 5 star guys so coach needs to finds these overlooked players with upside and I hope he has.
