Should be noted that he didn't play the last 8 minutes of the game. In case you can't tell, it'a absolutely killing me that we don't have an official offer into this kid yet!!

Ozier is now averaging 30 PPG on a quality team in one of the best conferences in the area. His grades are fine and there are zero character issues with him; if Jordan wants to recruit the area like he said he did, not offering Ozier defies explanation.

Maybe Amanda is sabotaging the recruitment? Wait...wrong board.

I may receive a royal tounge lashing from a few of you on this situation but honestly I'm perfectly fine with not offering ANOTHER guard. We are pretty set for at least the next 3 years at guard with a wide variety of guards/wings. We have nice size and with the experience these guys are getting right now they're only going to be better next year. I feel like our main focus has to be on getting legit bigs. We are clearly seeing the effects of not having any dependable bigs, we're also seeing the effects of having to play our best wings players the 4 position, adding another guard doesn't help that situation. This kid Ozier is going to be GREAT wherever he decides to commit, I just think it's bad timing with how this team is currently structured for the future. If we do decide to offer and he signs then it's a great pick up but I honestly don't see him as a MUST HAVE.

If we do decide to offer and he signs then it's a great pick up but I honestly don't see him as a MUST HAVE. I don't disagree with a lot of what you're saying. This team is in desperate need of a big man. And I hope the staff is working on getting one because as of now, I really don't see any on the radar. At least none that have offers according to Verbal Commits. But meanwhile, we continue to extend offers to guards... which is important. And while we have very talented guards currently on our team and in the pipeline, this is a chance to jump on arguably the best guard in the state. Given his lack of size, he has mid major success written all over him. I'd hate to pass on him just because we have guards already on our team. We all saw what someone like Jordy Johnson did for us. I'm shocked that Wright State hasn't offered Ozier yet given his relationship with Shariff being a Racine native. I trust the coaches and their assessment of our needs so if they are OK letting him get away, then there must be a reason. But the likelihood of getting Trevion Kirk seems slim based on the amount of teams showing interest now. Might as well continue looking at a guy like Ozier who may be interested in playing college ball 30 mins from his family.

Sucks we aren't too informed on the chase for a big but like I said before if we have to get more guards Ozier is a GREAT pick up, and if he has a Jordy like impact that's even better.

I know nothing of Ozier other than what's been posted here but I think James' rationale is spot on. Assuming no one else leaves after this season, we will have 8 guards/wings on scholarship (including Newsome & Alderson) for next season and Teyvion Kirk is already seen as a higher priority. We need height in the worst way and I think we have 3 remaining open scholarships. I have nothing against Ozier but does anyone else find it odd he has only 1 offer currently and it's from a school in Texas? NO ONE in the midwest has offered? Seems odd.

As for the JUCO recruits, finding news on them is a lot harder given the level of play they're at and the level of D1 ball we're at. Mid-major juco basketball recruiting doesn't really bring in the clicks for websites.

Well I hope we're able to fill the rest of our scholarships. I would love if at least 2 go to guys with size, JUCO or true freshman. I also hope everyone returns, the last thing we can afford is a transfer.
