OT CBB: UMBC
Posted: May 13th, 2021, 4:27 pm
I know us UMBC fans have been following the Odom/USU recruiting news, so thought I'd share what UMBC's been able to do since hiring Ferry for those interested - especially those who were scouting Rogers/Kennedy or watching old UMBC games to watch Horvath or RJ.
Both Rogers and Kennedy are returning to the team, and UMBC has been active in the portal the past few weeks, locking down...
PG Hakim Byrd from Marist - 8.4 PPG as a freshman. Quick guard who helped Marist to first winning season since 2008. Not great size but great quickness.
F Anyang Garang from Oklahoma - former 3-star commit from Uganda and Australia. Didn't see much time on a Top 25 OU team, but has an awesome story and has great potential for our conference.
G Ray Salnave from DePaul via Monmouth - should be an immediate impact (14-16 PPG) player back in a low mid major. Struggled first half of the season with DePaul but scored in double figures in 5 of last 10 games, including 21 vs. Creighton.
F Yaw Obeng-Mensah from Santa Fe College (JUCO). Averaged 12 & 10 in shortened JUCO season. Good athlete for America East (had offer from Texas State) but will need to improve percentages.
Hope some of you can 'adopt' UMBC like we plan to adopt USU. 'Odom' fam!
