Pitino mentioned making NIL deals 2-3 year commitments and I think that's what ends up saving this mess.

Dstone Dubar from Hofstra has entered the portal as a grad transfer. Assume he will get big time high major interest. 6'6" and shot 40% from 3.

2024 6’7 Nick Woodard has committed to Stony Brook.

So we have Nick Woodard commitment and we have a strong offer to Collin OConnor

Juco transfer and a freshman. Leads me to believe some guys will be leaving because Geno doesn’t have time to do a rebuild season. It’s go time, and I fully expect us to bring in some seniors/grad seniors to compete

Based on his juco stats it looks like he would fill the Anthony Roberts role. Can really score and rebound, maybe not super efficient from the field. Hope with that length he's a good defender as well.

Don't have a full understanding of how it works but I believe TSM, Clarke, Noll and Maidoh were all NIL guys so theoretically that opens a good amount of NIL money for Geno to use in the portal. Assume Fitz will get a TSM level deal to stay.

I don't know where Geno got that figure that we're 13th in the CAA in budget. Official reported numbers to the Department of Education for 2022 are below

CAA 2022 Men's basketball expenditures   
School                                            Total Expenditures
College of Charleston                           $3,714,314.00
Northeastern University                   $3,384,972.00
Hofstra University                           $3,311,186.00
Drexel University                           $2,937,611.00
University of Delaware                   $2,936,910.00
Stony Brook University                   $2,918,820.00

I generally like Geno, think he's a great interview, and even defended his extension at the time, but I thought those comments were whiny (an untrue). Yes the College Charleston has a huge advantage in budget and NIL, but that was also essentially Stony Brook when they were in the AE.

Most of these budgets line up with what you'd expect but kudos to UNCW for doing a lot with less than the big guys. Would've expected they'd be near the top. Also yikes to Northeastern. Maybe their budget is elevated because they have to travel far to pretty much every other school? Guess it can't be cheap to operate in the middle of Boston.

Still digesting yesterday's game. Was fun to be at in person. Wish athletics had sent a fan bus from LI. We had a small but loud contingent of fans there. It was impressive to see Charleston's contingent. They have really built a great program.

You could feel the air come out of the Stony Brook side of the Arena after the last play of regulation. Agree with everyone's sentiment that the ball should have been in TSM's hands at the end and ideally in the flow of a called play. Also, if Geno knew Clarke was playing with an injured MCL, wouldn't that be even more reason to put the ball in Tyler's hands?

Overall great run from the team. Hope Geno's able to hold on to Fitz, Snoddy, Phillip, Frey, etc.

Driving down to DC for tonight's game. Tickets were pricey but should be a good one. Hoping our guards have something left in the tank after a ton of minutes played this weekend.

Ford has to take Noll off House. Hes losing him every posession

10
Needed a bucket on that last possession but things could've been worse. Nice job by Fitz off the bench drawing two fouls on Williams. Need to fight through the screens on House. Need more from Tyler in the second half. Too many contested shots so far. We need to get Tyler the ball in the flow of the offense. 

11
Drexel’s defense is much better than a few weeks ago. No open looks so far.

12
Moore was left open the whole game last time. That cant happen today. Need maidoh and fitz to box out today as well. Feel confident about the offense. Having 3 5th year guards is a luxury this time of year.

Think TSM gets a summer league look this year? Feels like he could be a solid backup SG somewhere.

Around Stony Brook U... / Re: Making SB better- Idea Thread 2.0

It hurts to hear the reality of a $500 million donation boiling down to $4.5 million/year for research we'll more than likely never hear of but when you think about it it makes sense. Endowments are made to not be spent but to grow so it makes sense that the withdrawal rate would be less than or equal to the risk free interest rate through the bond market. The endowment should live in perpetuity and be dipped into on an as needed basis.

Conference and Athletics / Re: Conference Realignment Rumors
« on: March 05, 2024, 08:21:26 am »
I like that the next step from CAA has consistently been FBS. The next step from AE has been CAA so I think the CAA move was necessary. Just taking a look at the FBS conferences, there's not really a good geographical fit besides the MAC and would that even excite us? When was the last MAC team to improve as a program and move up from the MAC? Seems like a bit of a dead end. Maybe if the American conference added a few northeast schools that would make sense but it's pretty much a sun belt conference now.
