Class of 2018 PF/C Osun Osunniyi (CT) to St. Bonaventure

[OrangeXtreme]

Decommitted from one A10 school to attend another.

Not everyone wants to be on Broadway. Some people like acting in community theater on the weekends.

Definitely a loss depth wise, but if Sidibe is healthy and PC doesn't get hurt, he would have close to a zero percent chance of ever playing this year(barring some crazy foul trouble). PC has coaches trust, and when healthy, Sidibe is so much better than both of them.

Can't blame him for going where the minutes are, but everyone cross your fingers for a healthy year this year!

That's his choice and the Bonnies had an unusually good cast last year. It was a good win for them against us, although again they didn't get far in the NCAA's. The SBU staff probably pitched PT to Osun ... to the effect that he'd be the third option at SU (ala' Obokoh) with no guarantee against being recruited over. BOL to him ... hopefully he gets the PT he wants at SBU and reaches his potential there.

Not a huge disappointment. If he believes he's a St. Bonaventure level player, maybe we all should, too?

Might be some truth to that.

But he probably also sees himself behind 2 players this year and one the following year.

He also has a relationship with the Bonnie assistant.

This has been known for several weeks.

No surprise.

Given this likely outcome, I'd like to see our coaches really go outside of the box and actively pursue Quincy Guerrier.

 

[Trueblue25]

Braswell was the necessity and we landed him over more impressive programs (compared to SBU). I think people should keep that in mind and move on from here.

Give it a rest. Noone heard of this kid a month ago. We were only in “it” because of our name and Gmac

 

[sutomcat]

So is that it then? How definitive is this Tweet?

Best of luck to Osun. I hope he does well in Olean.

I believe it would have to to with having a buddy on the team he wants to play with and or the Lasalle coach now there. I had a good friend at Cuse which definitely factored in my decision to attend. Going off to college can feel lonely and intimidating. Playing in front of 30,000 may not be his cup of tea

Yea, but he has a chance to be a real diamond in the rough. Disappointing if we lose out on him to a mid major.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Hmm, St. Bonaventure... so the story was man vs. the supernatural.

GMAC needs to do a better job with tampering.

 

[Madbiker]

Wants to play in a smaller conference/school with less visibility. Fine.

 

[OrangeYaGladi]

No need to rip Osun.

Many factors determine why a recruit selects a given school. It happens.

Don’t sense many are ripping him. His decision seems sound. It’s a risk to choose SU, but the potential for greatness is bigger.

The whole visibility agrument is not relevant in today's world..with all of the sport shows and social media, if you are putting up numbers, you will get noticed. Arguably the two best guards in the nba came from small schools

Osun could have tested himself against a better caliber of player in the ACC. He’d be going up against big men from Duke, Carolina, Louisville and others.

His choice.

How accurate is this tweet? Just curious!

That's what I'm thinknig too

Geez...losing this kid is not THAT big of a deal.

What Bonnie assistant?

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbot?

What Bonnie assistant?

This has been mentioned over and over yet no one knows if the LaSalle assistant that recruited him before is actually hired at st.bonaventure.

Japan

I think he was quoting animal house lol!
