Marcus is Coach Sonny Johnson"s youngest son, brother of O State commit Meechie Johnson. Offering this early is playing a loyalty card and that's something Coach Sonny understands. It could payoff big in 6 years . It's worth the effort.

Talked to former Penguin great Gerald Parks about a month ago . He reffed a Rocky River game, as I'm  living up here now. He said he still keeps in touch with Frank Andrews , who's back in Indy, and Terry Moore in Canton. He told me Terry's daughter is the girls coach at Canton Hoover H. S. Those were some great teams!

When will this program turn around? How many players and coaches have to breeze through? I loved the hiring of Calhoun but have we really improved? Quisenberry is the best young guard since Perry and Naz plays as hard as anyone but it never seems to get better. I watch programs like UMBC and Rob Morris make the NCAA's while we languish year after year with no end in sight.  I just don't get it.

It's amazing that no coach seems able to turn this program around. Getting ripped by MAC schools is alarming. It shouldn't be this difficult because only 5 guys are on the floor at a time. One all league player can mean so much.

That has always been the problem. Young freshman that need to grow feel that they should get way more minutes for a 20 loss team so they leave. We never see an entire class stay for 4 years. Same with 2 year JC kids. If they don't get a ton of minutes their first year they leave. Academics also enter the picture.

Sitting here watching the men hey torn apart by Akron . Calhoun has major problems. No defense , dumb fouls, hoist up rotten sh noots, no rhythm to the offense at all. It's sad to watch , I know they're young but I expected more.

Well, Salley is big, decent hands and can dunk. Have no idea if he can run, doesnt appear so. Looks like he wont help at all

Seen some words from Darius Quiseberry's Mom about YSU' s Fab4 Freshmen, Quisenberry, Simmons, Taylor and Nelson. That'd be a dream class. Stay tuned on Nelson

It is imperative that this recruiting class sees it through for four years. The culture needs to be built on a solid base instead of the revolving door of players through here.

After watching a vid of Otchere it would be amazing if we brought this kid in. His ability to show on the perimeter and yet recover to the post defensively is amazing for a 6"10 kid. Who cares if he can score or not. If the program hits on at least 3 of these recruits , look out in 2 years

The most impressive thing Ive seen so far are the adjustments Coach Calhoun and his staff have made from the Kent game to the Cleve St game. The team doesnt even resemble the one in November. Thats what good coaches do, and we have a good one. Cant wait to see this team next year and the years to come. The rebuild is fully underway!
