Re: 2018 verbal commit
Looks like he only had 2 offers. EKU and Wingate. Not a great sign but we need height. Need to be prepared if this turns out to be Mayo's last year here.
Edit: Found some video of Bladen. He does a really nice job of moving without the ball and setting himself for when someone drives and the defense collapses, they can dump the ball off to him and he has an easy dunk or layup. He will be a point guards best friend. Would've liked to seen more moves with the ball in his hand but with his size and competition level he is going up against, it looks like he does not need them much. Probably going to need to get stronger and work on post moves against guys his size to have success in the OVC. He has some potential but still has some developing to do.

Why do you say it might be Mayo's last year here?

Re: 2018 verbal commit
If it is another bad year, I can see Mayo taking advantage of the grad transfer rule and play somewhere else his final year assuming he is far enough along to graduate early.g-- wrote:Why do you say it might be Mayo's last year here?
Re: 2018 verbal commit
That somewhere else would be Fordham If neubauer is still there Close to home for him
Re: 2018 verbal commit
He could have went to Fordham before he ever came to EKU he chose to play here so I dont think he would ever go to Fordhamneugie wrote:That somewhere else would be Fordham If neubauer is still there Close to home for him
Re: 2018 verbal commit
Bladen also had offers from Monmouth and Canisius, and is a composite 2-star (not sure what this means?) recruit on one of the forums.
Re: 2018 verbal commit
Neubauer wasnt at Fordham when he came here He is now at least for 1 more season

Neubauer recruited Mayo and then went to Fordham before Mayo enrolled. We were concerned Mayo would follow him, but he State with us, thank goodness.neugie wrote:Neubauer wasnt at Fordham when he came here He is now at least for 1 more season
Re: 2018 verbal commit
I've worried about the Mayo grad transfer as well, but I think it's more likely than not that he stays. With that having been said, couldn't Davis potentially do the same? At least he originally signed here to play for McHale.
