Blue & Gold Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 Jayvon Graves is a Class of '17 guard at STVM. He's a good 6'2" is a fantastic athlete and has a complete game. Does any insider know whether the Zips are pursuing Jayvon? I found this quote in an article about STVM: "Graves is a guard with scholarship offers from Kent State, Ohio University, Toledo, Northern Kentucky, Cleveland State and DePaul." Quote
Blue & Gold Posted March 16, 2016 Author Report Posted March 16, 2016 Ummm... anyone? Jayvon's really the kind of athlete we need in our backcourt. Quote
blueandgold Posted March 16, 2016 Report Posted March 16, 2016 Seems like a player we would pursue, but I haven't heard anything. Odd that we wouldn't be looking at him. Quote

Get on him, KD!!! 1 Quote

Hmm. Think we could use a guard like that on our roster? I think I may be a basketball genius! Maybe I should call KD & suggest he offer a scholarship Edited March 18, 2016 by Blue & Gold Quote

Losing him to another MAC program hurts. He's an extremely athletic player. Congrats to Buffalo. Quote
Blue & Gold Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Posted January 30, 2017 Buffalo apparently looking to build a pipeline to STVM Quote

I think it would be smart and efficient to combine their game travel obligations with a recruiting trip. Quote
kreed5120 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Posted January 31, 2017 As long as we're able to continue to go down to Cincy and find guys like Kwan and Big Dog or go to Houston and find guys like Antino, I'm not too concerned. Quote

LZIp Posted February 26, 2017 Report Posted February 26, 2017 Graves has been balling. Really hoping we don't end up regretting missing on him. Quote

Blue & Gold Posted March 17, 2017 Author Report Posted March 17, 2017 He's explosive like Ivey but with a better handle & much more natural outside shot. Here's another near eye-to-rim-level throw down. Quote

And do you have any feel as to why? Maybe it's just one of those situations where a player wanted to go away to school? But I didn't hear any buzz whatsoever about Akron giving his recruitment anything more than a half-a$$ effort. Maybe it was a situation where Graves told them straight up as a sophomore that he wanted to go away to school? Idk, but I knew this guy was a special one while watching him three years ago. SMH. KD should have been on him like white on rice. Edited March 18, 2017 by Blue & Gold Quote

KD should have been on him like white on rice. He was going to go to Toledo. Buffalo and I believe Fordham (could have wrong east coast school) was his 2nd and 3rd choice from what I am told. 1 Quote
