"Wright State stays local and fills a PG spot with Anthony Jackson, a Firebird prospect that averaged 19 points in the middle of the season this year." Heβs a walk on and there is a whole thread on him on the recruiting board. |

Amari is a fantastic addition and fills a gap that Tanner left. Quite the pull in the portal after him announcing less than 24 hours ago. Will be interesting what our lineup looks like with him in it.

Does this mean one of our in coming freshmen are getting RS?

Wow! I didn't expect this. Davis is a potential 1st team HL talent. I love his game and his ability to beat guys off the dribble and score at the rim. He and Trey will be a tough duo to handle. Great addition in my opinion.

I'm more interested in what this means for our current position. Mak Manciel is set to announce next week, and I was under the impression he was our #1 target. What does Davis committing to us do to that potential recruitment (if anything)? We still have several offers hanging out there, but I believe we're down to 1 scholarship now. Big D, some insight?

Great addition in my opinion. This is huge...so long as he's eligible. Good defender if I remember too. Really makes this offense difficult to defend |

Probably doesnβt change anything in who we are recruiting. I donβt know if Amari will be eligible next year or have to sit. He already used his 1 time transfer exemption. He may get a waiver with the Missouri coaching change. If he is eligible or not next year, I don't think you pass up on adding Mak Maciel if he wants to come to Wright State. He has the potential to be one hell of a player in our system. You add as much talent as you can and try to find a way to get them all on the court. |

Beyond thrilled we added Davis. If he plays next year we will have another special season.

I think he will get a waiver from the NCAA with the coaching change at Missouri and the way the NCAA has all of a sudden become so spineless on everything. I agree with Big D. If you have a shot to add Maciel, you damn well better do it.

I think he will be eligible too and I think we are going to be a scary good team next year. I'm greedy though. I want Mak Maciel too.

What does Davis committing to us do to that potential recruitment (if anything)? We still have several offers hanging out there, but I believe we're down to 1 scholarship now. Big D, some insight? Amari's twitter commitment announcement said he was planning on transferring to Wright State for his "senior year". He didn't say he was coming here for his remaining 2 years of eligibility. I believe that was intentional. He may change his mind, but I think we need to plan on him being a one and done so we really need to be going after Mak Maciel full steam ahead trying to get his commitment too. We also need to make sure Mak knows that even though we added Amari, we want to have a deep team this year with multiple scorers. We had 4 guys that averaged double digits or very close last season. The year before was the same. We like to spread the ball around and have a lot of scoring options. We need to make sure he knows that and sees the potential for him to be a star here. His other 2 finalist are not good teams. If he wants to be on a team that has serious NCAA tournament potential, we are his best bet. If we get Manciel, Nagy really has the option of going 3 guards/2 bigs next year or 4 guards/1 big if he wants to play faster. I think he would utilize both options based on who we are playing whichever line-up gives us the best match ups. A 4 guard line-up could be Trey Calvin, Amari Davis, Mak Maciel, Tim Finke, and Blake Sisley. That is a very athletic line up with multiple 3 point shooters, multiple guys that can create their own shot, and 4 really good defenders all on the court at the same time. If we go big or small, we have the potential to be a great team next year. I think the key is to get Maciel to realize that and join the Raider Family. |
