A Visit to Verbal Commits

BEVERLY HILLS (MI) – With these latest bits of news out of Flyerland:

Dayton F Tyrone Baker has entered the transfer portal.

“FTS” thought now was an opportune time to visit the venerable Verbal Commits. VC is the repository of every hoopster who enters the transfer portal, as well as the keeper of the latest scholarship offers given to as well as tweets by and about recruiting prospects.

Tyrone Baker was the 43rd player to hit the highway thus far this young season…he most assuredly will not be the last. Here is the latest list:

The best way to keep up with all of the decampment insanity is to follow the VC Twitter feed:

But the real meat and potatoes for the Flyer Faithful can be found on their team page:

First off, thanks to the powers that be at VC for including links to the latest articles from UDPride front and center on the Dayton page, including “FTS.” ‘Preciate it.

Scrolling down, you will next find an expanded roster that includes all of the current as well as former Flyers. For example, if you click on Jordan Davis under “Seniors” you will see that he is currently on scholarship at Jacksonville, after transferring from both UD and MTSU. The rare and unusual 6 year senior!

Of most interest to recruitniks like me are the two columns on the right–2023 and 2024 open offers (the VC headers are screwed up, BTW).

Here are the pages for 2023 current offers:

Drilling down on their Twitter feeds you can find gems like this 2-minute highlight reel of Euro prospect Marqus “I’d like to buy a vowel” Marion:

How about 90 seconds of Maki Johnson drilling three pointers for Huntington Prep?
