HJS, Don is finally recruiting your type of kid in Dingba. Read:

After watching him play in Pittsburgh again after getting to check him out multiple times last spring and summer, two things are very clear about Dingba. First, he will always play harder than everybody else on the court. Sometimes players have a good weekend or are inspired to play hard for a tournament or two, but their effort level isn't consistently that high. With Dingba, that's not the case. He has proven that it's just part of his game. Second, he has made serious strides in his development in the last year. He has always been a great athlete with an impressive build, but he's turning into a more savvy player now. He sees the game happening, he is developing feel, he can pass, he's improved his shot and he's better defending away from the basket.

Dingba does a few things really well. He's a tireless rebounder with great explosion when he's going after a board (or loose ball for that matter). You don't see a whole lot of guys who jump their highest on every rebound that they try to corral, but Dingba really gets off the floor and consistently rebounds at or above rim-level, including on the offensive end. Another thing he provides offensively, is his strength and willingness to attack the rim. He loves drawing contact to get to the line, and is very good at finishing through the foul. His explosiveness, strength and the fact that he's constantly attacking the rim makes him a tough defensive assignment, even though he doesn't have a hugely diverse skill-set or post game. On the defensive end, he has become much better defending away from the basket, even to the point where he may be able to guard some wings. He certainly will do a great job of defending face up fours, as well as power players because of his strength. He's also very good at blocking shots without fouling.

Two things you wanted the most, this kid brings.

He should move to the top of the board now, hopefully. Only a matter of time before Uconn comes in.

His twitter says Samuel "Smart" Dingba. Hopefully he's smart enough to realize that UConn's program is a disaster academically.

I don't know anything about this kid, but I really like what I am reading. Rebounding and interior defense. Man do we need some of that.

Not only that, but he is mainly an inside scorer, shows a nice touch on the ball to hit a midrange jumper. His best attribute is his fearlessness. He will go up for the jumper or dunk over anyone. Gives it 100% all the time. High motor player.

[BCEaglesFan]

by the way, BC recently offered PF Schuyler Rimmer. 91 on ESPN. Not a good chance on him though, from what I've heard.

If I had gotten all this information earlier, I would have changed my mind in 3 minutes, not 3 hours. I'm delighted to hear that BC has offered Dingba. Now Donahue et al. have to do the really hard part: outrecruiting the competition.

He's still got some work to do to be high major ready though, but he should get there by 2013.

[MattTheEagle]

Yes, Dingba would be an awesome addition to this BC squad. His ceiling is massive. He also has everything our team needs.

[RedBaron67]

by the way, BC recently offered PF Schuyler Rimmer. 91 on ESPN. Not a good chance on him though, from what I've heard.

Rimmer (Boone HS, Orlando, FL, 2013, ***, 91, 6'8", 230 lbs.) is reported by ESPN to be a solid inside player with a jumper to 15 feet, a tough rebounder, and a good position defender. His other offers are from Miami, Va. Tech, South Florida, Penn. State, Stanford, UAB, and UCF. He sounds like the kind of player BC could very much use, but his offer list suggests he might want to stay in the sunny South.

[EagleDave]

Another transfer on BC's radar is Miami-OH freshman Brian Sullivan. Without unveiling my secret identity, allow me to say that I had a chance to follow this kid during his freshman year and he is an unreal shooter and quickly became the best player on a team that had a MAC POY candidate. He's undersized (6'0, 190) but he could be a terrific scorer off the bench at the ACC level.

I read that he's being looked at by Butler, Virginia, Dayton and a few others...

8-10 from 3 and 24 points against Vanderbilt is extremely impressive never mind for a freshman.

He'd be a walk-on from my quick research. I could be wrong tho.

He had a handful of games like that last year, but as games wore on teams would start gravitating toward him obviously, and with nobody else willing or able to help he often went quiet for long stretches in 2nd halves. Surround him with better talent and he'll be a big help.

45% from three >>> 34% from three
Brian Sullivan >>> Alex Dragicevich

Disagree. We should take Dragicevich over Sullivan and it isn't even close. Dragicevich is an ACC player, Sullivan is not. As a whole, the competition Dragicevich played against was way stronger.

Also, Rahon and Jackson both have equally as good or better shots than Sullivan. We don't need another 2 guard. Dragicevich can at least play the 3 and cover taller guards or smaller forwards on D.

To say that Sullivan isn't an ACC player is flat wrong. He's got an ACC-level skill, just not ACC size. I don't think BC is in any place to turn down talent to help their depth when they brought Danny Rubin, and a host of garbage walk-ons off the bench last year out of necessity. If you can reel in a player who can help, regardless of position, right now you do it. For the record, Dragicevich is a player BC could use as well because of his size and skill-set. If the opportunity presented it self, you bring in both.

Who are all the players on the current roster who have this skillset?

I see Lonnie Jackson, maybe Joe Rahon although I've read some sources say he can play point and Danny Rubin if you're counting walkons.

It is pretty much the same skill set, except that, as already noted by BCEagles25, Sullivan's 3P% was .449 and Dragicevich's was .342 (and only .200 his freshman year). For BC, by way of comparison, Jackson=.399, Rubin=.389, Heckmann=.349, Daniels=.336, Anderson=.274. If there are no better alternatives, Sullivan could at least provide a credible scoring threat off the bench. I'd much rather have a competent big than Sullivan, but I'd rather have Sullivan than Dragicevich, who even managed to average fewer rpg than Sullivan (although Sullivan had quite a bit more playing time).

Nice to see Donahue using his Philadelphia connection in recruiting. I'd bet he ends up at Temple or 'Nova. Looks like a good player though.

[BCEaglesFan]

Johnson will give the Eagles some serious consideration as Steve Donahue's squad is extremely impressive academically, just as Lower Merion is.

So I guess Johnson and Dingba are the sleepers ready to blow up that Donahue sees. I hope offering a 2013 wing doesn't mean they've given up on Smyth and/or Dragicevich.

It deff wouldn't affect Smyth, as he would only have 1 year left of eligibility, and it would be used this coming season.

You're right, but I have to question for Dragicevich in this instance. However, this kid looks more like a 2 in his highlights.

Would love to see them get both Johnson and Dingba (wishful thinking I know) so that Johnson can be used at the 2 and Dingba at the 3.

A future lineup of Hanlan 6'3 Johnson 6'7 Dingba 6'7 Anderson 6'8 Clifford 7' is a really tall lineup. Not to mention that Johnson and Dingba have high athleticism.

Jerome Frink was set to make his college decision today, until an ACC school stepped in. This has BC written all over it.

[BCEaglesFan]

Jerome Frink was set to make his college decision today, until an ACC school stepped in. This has BC written all over it.

Very good athlete.

Ok ESPN, there is no way someone this big is 190 lbs.



Scouting report:
Strengths:
Frink is a physical specimen and very good looking prospect. He has a terrific frame with wide shoulders, long arms, and a sculpted upper body that is already strong and capable of supporting plenty more mass. He is a high level athlete who runs and jumps with ease and shows signs of an emerging skill set. He has pretty good touch, is able to be a consistent threat from 15 feet and in, and even able to stretch to the arc on occasion. He can defend some inside and out, rebounds well, and is a shot-blocking threat from the weak side of the floor.

Weaknesses:
Frink is still raw in many ways and only just beginning to develop his skills and understand how to use his physical tools. He tends to drift to the perimeter too often and finds his release point and loft on his jumper both dropping as his range extends. He needs to be a little meaner inside the paint, dominating the glass like he is capable of and seeking out contact to finish around the rim. Frink would also do well to develop a go to move with his back to the basket. More than anything else he just needs to continue to acquire game experience to develop his overall feel.

Bottom Line:
