Title: 2021 Recruiting
Post by: Checkmate on June 26, 2019, 02:31:08 pm
Pretty clear emphasis on the point guard position of late.

Per VC, for the 2020 and '21 classes, we have offered 26 guys who are classified as point guards. And 33 for the other four positions.

That's Almonacy's High School.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but we've never come close to landing a 3-star kid, right?   I think Thrower was a 2.5, Warney a 2, Puriefoy a 2.  Policelli may have been a 3 coming out of Lutheran, but now he's rated a 2.

Starlight Star bright First star I see tonight!! What does it all mean? Means nothing. Look at NDSU. They have a few 3 star football players but most of these kids were under the radar kids that is/ was being groomed by the coaching staff. If a really talented coach spends enough time with an athlete, that coach can turn that athlete into a stud.. I am hoping SBB has what it takes to turn these young athletes into Super stars!!!!

Post by: Checkmate on October 30, 2020, 06:23:08 pm
Really interesting signing. He’s from the same AAU program as Policelli and will come to us after doing a prep year at Woodstock Academy, which has an INSANE pipeline to UMass – eight current players – yet we were able to get him. Shumpert played the “close to home” card, but UMass is not only that but is obviously a higher profile program.

I also wonder if this gives us an edge in getting his brother here.

And then, of course, is this an audition for a bigger school considering the new transfer rule that will be in place when he gets here?

The Seawolves just picked up a commitment from '21 SG Kaine Roberts (out of Tokyo, Japan of all places)!!  It seems like he plays for a "pro-like" team called the Samurais, if I'm interpreting the info correctly.  I'm trying to learn more about him.

This will fill in 2 of the 4 expected open spots for next season (along with Shumpert, if I'm not mistaken.

Good find, Air. It's so difficult to interpret what the junior college numbers all mean. Juwan White shot the lights out at Butler but barely saw the floor here. But JFR was as advertised. I like what I'm reading about him on Twitter – very anecdotally I understand. On the flipside, I don't love seeing that his production decreased over the course of the season.

Here's video of him from prep school.

Youll will see three more years of transfers in and out. Im sure SH and he will say thats the new transfer rules but we know who GF is.  GF is not here for the longhaul.

just curious- why only three years?  i guess what im saying is, wont this have a somewhat perpetual effect, meaning if every class gets 5 years, then we can just keep redshirting freshmen (a la FBS).

sure, at some point, it will shake out where the benefit of 5 years is lost, but that should take time...

3 years because hopefully there will be a new AD and new HC and things will get back to being a program that embraces it's fans after GF is gone.

SH is a good AD. I just think he doesn't know, or his hands are tied with handling a state institution like SB when it comes to raising money. The problem SB, and other SUNY schools have is Albany. Cuomo could care less about allocating funds for any athlete's programs. He rather line the pockets of his special interest groups who give millions to the Democratic campaigner. more specific, his campaign.

It doesn't matter who the AD is for SB. If Cuomo gets reelected, which is a very strong possibility again, SB will be very limited in resources to fire coach P or GF and bring in a better replacement.

SH is not a good adminsitrator. Look at what has happened in that place since he has been here. He and RE cant raise any money. That has nothing to do with the state. He had a 5 yr plan to raise something like 100 million dollars. I dont think he raised 10 percent of that. Someone said cuomo wouldnt give them the money for the new practice bldg and i agree with that. Raise the money yourself or hire someone who can. I can tell you they wont get anohter nickel from me as long as those two are there. GF is a blatant example of how bad he is at hiring. Read that football story from last saturday. That guy he hired from the newspaper is bad. Brian Miller was very nice and there was always a game stroy.

It will only get harder and harder to raise money when a program has hit rock bottom. SB is getting close to hitting rock bottom in two of their most important sports. Football and Basketball.

I gave up my season tickets for both sports last year. Sadly, I had a very large following of friends and family at their football games. They are all gone now as well. If SB continues to keep losing their fan base like this, this program will fall back into the dark days. A change at the top needs to happen, but it wont. This is not Clemson we are talking about.

The words been out on GF for some time.  Good kids wont play for him. He'll get kids with few offers to fill his roster and rave about getting them.  He wont coach them and SBU will have a crappy season again.  That will happen two more times after that until his contract is up.

With the number of players in the portal, I'm sure SBU will grab at least 1-2 DI transfers, but don't expect them to be former high-profile players on the rebound. JUCO makes the most sense because they're almost always immediately eligible and if **** hits the fan, the coaching staff can blame the player for lack of talent.

its really sad what's happened in college sports. 

of course, some will argue that the coaches can leave, so why cant the athlete.  or that the athlete is just bettering themselves, if they can upgrade they should be able to.

even though that's all true, it's just bad for sports- all sports.  bad for fans, bad for coaches, bad for universities.  and i query whether it's even all that great for students (transferring credits, new friends, new classes, honoring commitments, thinking the grass is greener, etc.).  but we were likely headed this way before the pandemic anyway, and this was the final push.

Nine scholarship players from UA have jumped ship. Nine. I understand there’s a coaching change but my god. I also read that Syracuse is expected to have three players back from this year’s team.

UA landed a kid who had good numbers at D-II Lock Haven, including 46% from three. You can downplay that, but he’s produced and if he doesnt play major minutes he will help in some capacity I’m sure. Who here thinks we need shooters? Ha ha.

How did GF land a stud like Roberts. He is the real deal.

Olaniyi and Roberts make the Seawolves instand contenders next year.

I presume the Midwest connection has something to do with Roberts coming here. Either way, I would love to be wrong about this basketball team as I had little hope for them next year.

Olaniyi should be the best player in the conference next year and Roberts may not be far behind. JRod/Olaniyi/Roberts/Policelli/Gueye is a pretty damn good starting 5.

i still think sayles and habwe command starting spots, but that could just be a stylistic thing at this point.  we rotate in a lot of players.

Habwe is he still injured? If gueye returns policelli would slide in nicely at the four spot didn’t enjoy him playing so far away from the rim. Sayles i personally enjoy his game but he is at his best when gueye is not on the floor with him. Team is gonna have a lot of depth and talent hopefully geno can steer them in the right direction lets just say I wont be shocked if they once again fall short. Also i like Habwe’s game too as an energy 6th man  guy but they all will get minutes.

As long as Geno is the head coach, I will be scared that this team will underperform. Doesn’t matter how much talent they have on the roster.

From the Bonaventure board ...

“When Roberts arrived on our campus, he was ready, like all transfers, to sit one year. Then he would be a bench contributor for 25 minutes for next season or perhaps crack our starting lineup at some point early on. Mainly because that’s what most transfers were forced to do before this season. Sit and wait. He didn’t have a better option.

Also remember AR and his Kent teammates beat up on Bonas in “secret scrimmages”, though we were short handed in one of them. No doubt Roberts was confident he could be a big deal at SBU within a year of arriving.

That was before rules and opportunities changed.

He left Kent because they brought in players to challenge or surpass him in the backcourt, according to my Kent contacts. He wasn’t happy there, so he looked to a program like ours that wanted him a couple years prior.

When it was more obvious with each passing game and practice that he would not be a starter here for at least two years, AR decided to spend his remaining eligibility as a starter at a lower level. He did have a death in his family and went home to Michigan during the break. That time away gave him a chance to reassess and talk to family or whomever was in his ear. It’s a no brainer for AR and all players to look for a better situation— whatever they envision that to be — when you’re taking about a two-year opportunity instead of just one. It’s like this year at SBU never happened for him.

The new transfer rules plus the extra year both help and hurt programs like ours and P6 schools as well... and they allow players like Roberts to do a double take and say, “wait, I can do what?”

My final point is that Roberts never got to experience the magic of the RC and the love of Bona fans. College hoops this season resembled AAU. It was nothing like a normal season. There was no fan emotion. No connection. No electric atmosphere that makes Bona players say “we have the greatest fans” and also makes opposing coaches say it’s a tough place to win. IMO that made it easier for many college players to unplug and move on this year.”

Seems like a Low risk, Medium reward move. I don’t have high expectations of Roberts, unlike Olaniyi.

How many roster spots do we have open taking into account the recent transfers in and out? I would love to get a pass first point guard play maker who can set the tempo. Probably not available in low major.

In that case, Kadisha (non-scholarship) would probably be the odd man out.  Christie on-deck.

Jenkins was the best PG in the NEC last year- watched highlights of him in the 2019 NCAA tourney and he is a baller

Like I said in the other thread, this team is now going to be stacked.

Gueye/Policell/Roberts/Olaniyi/Jenkins

My goodness- that's an A-10 quality starting lineup.

Not trying to clobber the kid, but he averaged 6 points per game at Parkland (a community college in IL), and they had only 7 players in their team photo on website.  The highlight reel is almost entirely 3's, so he hit an avg of 2/game (maybe).  Maybe some guys are not coming back, and we need to fill up roster spots.

Hol up, we're not gonna be dog s**t next year? Man... good I guess!

All we need is for Geno to play well enough to be poached by another program and pay the buyout, then we're all set. I think a tournament appearance plus an upset ought to do it.

With Hartford announced to go to D-III I would expect several defections from the team.  Here's a big one, and if Coach F. truly believes he's not going to be able to dissuade Gueye from transferring, I think SBU should offer immediately.

We have a headcount problem going on though. And assuming that Gueye doesn’t return, a size problem too. But you never know I suppose.

Back in March it was reported that the Seawolves had received a commitment from a JUCO PG named Noah Persich out of Parkland College as a Walk-on.  At the time, he and his coach released a video reflecting how excited he was to have the opportunity, and how he was going to work harder than anyone to prove his worth.  Don't know how good he really is, but he certainly was enthusiastic to come to SBU.

Since then I've never seen him mentioned again, and I've been able to find any record of him.  It's like he just disappeared from the earth!! Anyone out there no the story?
Title: Re: 2021 Recruiting
Post by: OldSeawolf on August 28, 2021, 04:06:13 pm
SBUGold, he came here as a non-scholly walk on, and I see we have a 15-man roster, with one redshirt, so prob no room on the roster for him.  I’m guessing he didn’t make the cut.
