Ball State's Tyler Cochran picks Toledo, with an assist from RayJ Dennis

The University of Toledo lists RayJ Dennis as a guard.

It might want to consider adding the title director of recruiting.

For the second time this month, Dennis played a role in UT securing a commitment from a Chicagoland transfer. This time it was someone Toledo fans are familiar with: former Northern Illinois and Ball State guard Tyler Cochran.

“Really, if it wasn’t for RayJ,” Cochran said, “honestly, there wouldn’t be a Toledo.”

The journey to this moment is some 15 years in the making, back when Dennis and Cochran first met at their church in the Chicago suburbs as Nintendo DS-playing first graders.
