I like the fact that we're picking up players from outside Michigan and Ohio again. Kampe talked about the move to the Horizon expanding his footprint across the great lakes states, but picking up kids from Long Island and Arizona is pretty cool too.
That said... who the hell are these guys? Weaver's a Juco transfer, and I'm having trouble finding Olujobi on any of the recruiting websites. With Alek Frascone as the only other pickup, our 2014 class is one of the worst we've had in a while.
Another thing that sprang to mind is that, if we assume Bass and Carter are both coming back, this makes 14 scholarship players next year (Petros, Hill, Williams, Bass, Carter, McCune, Neely, Felder, Hayes, Daniels, Cleveland, and the three recruits). This might suggest that the plan is to bring Bass back onto the team in January, rather than redshirt him for the full year and bring him back in 2014. This year's team could certainly use the help (of course, from the looks of it, so could next year's).

If you watch the video, Kampe says Olujobi was getting looks from bcs schools before he broke his tibia in the spring. Weaver is apparently a scorer. We'll see how it goes next year.

I thought I'd see how both players are doing, but it appears neither has yet played this year. Olujobi is still recovering from a summer injury, but his team is hoping to have him back in late January: www.newsday.com/sports/high-school/blogs/high-school-central-1.1688813/olujobi-commits-while-healing-1.6603640Weaver, I'm not sure if he is playing right now. Does anyone remember hearing how many years he has because I think this is his second year out of high school. He is listed here as an all-state honorable mention for the 2011-12 season and they list him as a senior. He was then listed as redshirting the 2012-13 season for the Scottsdale Community College Fighting Artichokes (a great nickname, by the way) per the Artichokes' roster from that year. He is not on the roster for 2013-14, but instead appears to be at Westwind Prepatory according to this page. But then the Westwind Twitter account just wished him well in a 1/2/2014 tweet as he goes to Oakland U: So I am curious if he will have 4, 3, or 2 years with Oakland. Probably 4, in which case he will be an older freshman which hopefully gives him a leg up next season.

I'm sorry, the fact that Weaver keeps bouncing around is not a good sign.
Good work though B&G

Weaver is in school at Oakland practicing with the team. No idea how many years he has For whatever reason yesterday was the first day I noticed him at a game. He was definitely sitting on the bench with the injured players/redshirt freshman, but there is no way he's 6-3. He was standing next to Bader and looked at least 4 to 5 inches shorter.

Weaver is definitely on campus. Raphael Carter posted he was shooting around with him yesterday in his rehab.
