I see Stony Brook is throwing a lot of offers to high prospect players with multiple FBS offers out of high school. That is a good thing and better than grad transfers.. Most won't bite, but maybe if they can grab one or two FBS caliber players, that can start a trend. I've been saying this for years. Reach out to as many FBS talent kids as possible and see what happens.

It's not a hard sell IMHO- if you want to ride the bench at a FBS school, fine. If you have pro aspirations, there's a lot to be said of being a bigger dog at the FCS level. We are seeing more and more teams going after small school talents and the CAA is a great place to go.

We have to eventually get out of the AE for basketball- it puts a ceiling on the basketball program. I think the A10 is a great aspiration. I mean we would all love Big 10 but that isn't going to happen.

Will see where athletics goes whenever college sports returns- there will be a LOT of financial problems to deal with across the country.

Solid win- Healey went nuts in the second half. This Albany team was much better than most 7 seeds

Hartford won't be easy by any means- let's see what happens

Absolutely no chance Pikiell would have stayed- you can't compete against Big 10 money and exposure

Very happy with what he's doing there- he was nothing but class with us.

Looks like reading Shawn's video blog that he already met with Priore to figure out how to get ready for next year. Again, I do not believe there is any chance of him firing Priore unless he has a dud of a season next year. The sad thing is that the players on this team are really talented- we just need to right staff to take them to the next level.

It's a tough position for Heilbron to be in but he needs to make the right move ASAP to get some energy into this program. It's not the same as it was even compared to when I was a season ticket holder from 2013-2016.

Big fan of Adam when he worked for ESPN covering the Mets- he had a similar role to what he will do at SBU at NYIT the last few years. I think he will fit in very nicely in this role- from a social media standpoint, he was great with ESPN. I think this was a very cool hire by Heilbron

Getting a young offensive minded assistant is what this team needs- I'd keep most of the assistants as I do feel like the folks doing the recruiting (e.g the position coaches) are doing a damn good job. I would say we recruit as well as most upper tier FCS teams.

I think for a program with the aspirations of Stony Brook, a new coach will be necessary. I think Priore has demonstrated his ceiling here. How many FCS programs will boast an indoor facility the likes of what we will have soon? I think our ceiling is higher- our players are definitely talented but my bigger problem is making sure we get the most out of them. I think there are enough wealthy boosters that they could cover the buy-out.

I would 100% be on board with showing him the door but we need to have the right replacement. What I am concerned about is finding the right coach for New York football- Priore (and his staff) have good connections in LI and have found really good talent locally in Long Island which is very important. We can't replace him with a coach from the south or something as it won't be easy dragging kids from Florida or Texas to Stony Brook.

Anyway, congrats to Albany on a very good season. Hoping they do well in the playoffs.

Back to basketball...

Not a bad game all things considered. Still sloppy but this group is young and learning how to play together.

Gouye is definitely rough around the edges but is a unique talent- he's really quick and will only get better. Our shooting was awful all game and I expect that to improve. Yale is a solid, well-coached team. I did not like Garcia's play at the end of regulation.

Should be an interesting season.

Thanks for the info as always Campi

Some guys just develop slower, particularly in the Northeast. I was thrilled seeing Field sling it all over the field yesterday- he has improved even from Game 1 this season. Let's just hope he continues to develop.

Lawton looks like he will be a star. He's strong and has great quickness. Should be a fun remainder of the season

Really like the offensive playcalling today- I think Priore et al can finally open up the offense now that we have a QB who can make deep throws. Carbone just didn't have the arm strength or accuracy to make a bunch of those throws that Fields made today. I can't say enough about Fields today- his accuracy on the intermediate and deep balls was absurdly good. I think the game is starting to slow down for him.

While it stinks that we lost, I am still really excited about the rest of the season.

Tip my hat to JMU- DiNucci is a tough as nails QB. They have a very good team- their RB are also very talented.

Wow what a huge kick

I haven't been this impressed with the team in a LONG time. What an amazing game so far

Fields may be having the best performance by a SBU QB in my memory. He has been dissecting a very good defense. He is miles ahead of Carbone as a QB. Amazing how far he's come already this year.

That awful punt set up that score. Can't afford mistakes like that and missed FG in this game.

Might be the difference overall if we lose

Fields is throwing super accurate passes today

He basically threw 3 TD passes on this series. That TD pass was absurdly good.

Folks, we have ourselves a legit QB
