SBU Football / Re: NFL prospects?
« on: October 08, 2013, 11:45:03 am »
Chrissy, This one's for you.. Do you know any of the High School Quarterbacks and do you think we have a shot at recruiting one. This years Q looks really strong and I would love to see a College  freshman start and grow with the team !!!!

One of those kids may play FCS football.  None of them are good enough for FBS

To add some weight to Captaindj's point, Santorelli, Heldberg, Cerrone and Galligan have already all commited to other schools--but for lacrosse, not football

I always hate to see someone get hurt, but....

...could this be an opening for Miguel?  It should be noted that the author of this article is mistaken, of course.  He should have said there are only two RBs left on the "active" roster.  Maysonet is on the practice squad, and just itching to get promoted!!!

Well, Chuck pretty much sums it up  about what we've been talking about with injures for the last 3 weeks .. I didn't know Negron was injured in the V game, that explains a lot !!!!!

http://www.newsday.com/sports/college/on-campus-1.812060/chuck-priore-we-got-courageous-efforts-1.6205282

The article pretty well sums things up, and I agree it was a great night--especially with the terrific crowd.  But, I think there are two other points that weren't made (one very good, the other very bad) that are worth pointing out:

--1) (The good):  On the two passes to Tye that Negron mentions, Tye is worthy of a big SO for the power running and balance after the catches.  He just wouldn't go down until he had the yards needed.  Efforts of beauty in two key situations!!

--2) (The bad):  This is two weeks in a row now where tons of yards have been acrificed due to long yardage penalties (e.g. pass interference, roughing the passer, unsportsmanlike behavior).  These are devastating and have had major impacts these past two games.  More maturity and awareness is needed!!

That said, a lot of guys played extremely well, and we should be happy with the win.  Go get Colgate!!  Go Seawolves!!

I think I've picked up from Twitter that both Tyrell Sturdivant and Bryan Sekunda are likely to be on campus this weekend for Homecoming.  I think that's good news, since they still are only verbal commits at this point.  Looks like they are really enthused about SBU.  Didn't see any press on DeShaun Thrower, but he has his high school QB commitments to concentrate on.

Prediction:  SB 30 Bryant 10  :)

I have a feeling our 4 star RB Poteat is about to break out and will be HUGE today !!!


http://www.newsday.com/sports/college/stony-brook/finally-comfortable-stony-brook-s-jameel-poteat-ready-to-contribute-in-a-big-way-1.6201129


I like your thinking, guys!!  I am especially encouraged by the writeup on Poteat, and am looking forward to it all coming true today.  But, I also want to put in my two cents for the two players I think could be equally as impactful, based upon what I've observed recently.  I know I've been on this kick for several weeks now, but I'm really anxious to see it happen:

-- I think James Kenner can be just as effective as Poteat, and I think he definitely proved it last week.  I wouldn't mind seeing them together in the backfield on some drives.  Could be awsome!!

-- I'm convinced Jahrie Level is a force waiting to be unleashed!!  At least on a couple of plays, I'd love to see Eugene, Coxson and Level in together to spread the defense and open up the Bryant DBs and Corners to some explosive break-aways

I haven't read through and digested the whole article yet, but I wanted to get the word out to all you guys!! Looks like the first order of business will be to make sure that the Seawolves win the regular season AE Conference championship next season and beyond.  If they do, we'll all have great seats in our own backyard for the championship tournament!!  GO, GO, GO Seawolves!!!

I notice we will be without the starting LB #33; big loss in the middle.  looking forward to the BBQ & game this Saturday; I will be making my usual 4 hour drive north  to see SB get  back on track. 

33 is also Reggie Franklin ILB.


Right you are SBUFAN33 and ddmd!!!  My apologies, and I did confirm that Franklin is not on the depth chart this week.  I sure wish they'd stop issuing duplicate uniform numbers; what's up with that??

Anyhow, what it means for Saturday is that SBU has to recover from yet another key injury.  If my count is right, there will be six Seawolves down at this Saturday's game who are guys that would have been counted on for key contributions.  Anyway--GO Seawolves!!!

I don't think this post can be correct.  #33 is Don Liotine, I believe, who is a Freshman RB who I think is redshirted this year.  Perhaps the LB you're referring to is Niam Cheesboro (#22), who left the game last week late with an injury.  I hope not because he's a key defensive asset.  He is still listed on this week's depth chart, so I'm not sure it's the case that he can't play.  But, I'd sure like you to clarify if you can.

ddmd. I agree with your assessment that we absolutely should have have thrown the ball more. We have Coxson and Eugene who two of the best WR in the CAA, why not utilize them a lot more ?

I agree re: the passing game, and especially stretching the defense.  As I've said before on this board, I don't know why Jahrie Level isn't being called on more.  He proved with a couple of catches in the Villanova game that he has good hands, and from what I saw of his clips he can really run after the catch.  So, once in awhile I would like to see Eugene, Coxson and Level in together.  That should open up some things!!

Also, as I've also mentioned before, I was glad to see James Kenner in there frequently.  I think he has now proven trustworthy, and may be a key going forward.

i'll be there!!! lets go seawolves

I'll be there as well, and I'm betting the Seawolves will be treemendously up and prepared for this one.  I know there are a lot of negative vibes out there after what happened last week, but let's be positive.  Just think what the outlook might be like if SBU crushes Towson--a real wakeup call to the CAA: Just sayin'

I thought this excerpt from the "City of Basketball Love" blog re: one of the Seawolves' committed recruits for next year was worth notin.  I included the portion about Trayvon Reed to keep Sturdivant's section in context:

 "Trayvon Reed (2014/Life Center)
The 7-foot-1 Maryland commit was an absolute force on the defensive side of the court. Reed swatted away shots left and right and forced every team that played Life Center to score from the outside. It was clear on Saturday that his defensive talent and size will be a big asset when he moves to the collegiate level next year, but his offensive game is still very raw.

Tyrell Sturdivant (2014/Chester)
In Chester’s matchup against Life Center, Sturdivant had to guard Reed, who has at least six inches of height on him. That didn’t seem to phase the Stony Brook commit though, as the senior never backed down from the challenge and continually matched the opposing center with great defensive play of his own. That’s been a common theme this summer for Sturdivant, who played well against an even higher-rated center (Kentucky-bound Karl Towns, Jr.) in a game against St. Joseph’s-Metuchen at Temple’s team camp earlier this summer."

one of those three young RBs will need to step up and show that they can carry the load.  I have never been a fan of runningback by committee, so hopefully one will take the reins and run with it.

we need to run pass routes that get Wil Tye open down field.  I have heard that the guy really has a set of wheels.  I dont like those routes he ran on Saturday, little square outs, where he has no forward momentum when he catches the ball.  he got knocked backwards a couple times making short catches.  He is too good to waste on those short routes.  Try some seam routes down field with him!!

Our DBs need to remain on their game and not fall for those stupid trick plays.  that was really embarassing to see those two receivers wide open on the trick plays.  someone let their man release, thinking it was a run play.

we still have Towson, Richmond and New Hampshire to play.  we will need to win 2 out of 3 of those games and sweep the rest of the schedule to have a legit playoff spot. 

I definitely agree, BFF.  But, I there are a couple of other points I took away from that horrendous game that I think are worth mentioning:

--1) Jahrie Level showed on two occasions that he has excellent hands, and from what I've read, if he gets into the open could be truly dangerous.  How about running plays with 3 wideouts (assuming Coxson is coming back shortly) to take away some of the concentrated coverage on Eugene and perhaps forcing the defenses to ease up on the run a little?

--2) I know Ferreira had a terrible game against BU, but I'm betting he's still the best place kicker the Seawolves have.  Without doubt he's got the strongest leg!  I say stick with him, and run grueling practices for him from the hash marks, as opposed to repoacing him with Ball.

--3) Something tells me that James Kenner may be the best opportunity for a RB to step up in place of Coker at this point.  I like the way he runs, but so far he's not been given ample opportunity to show what he's got.  I think Tyler Fredericks, as good as he may become, needs more seasoning before being truly counted upon.

Do all you guys remember when all our posts during the spring and summer were focused on how we had so much confidence in the running game, but had serious doubts about Negron's passing ability and the talent of our wide receivers?  So much for our predictive prowess!!!

Towson sure isn't going to be any easier.  They are really putting up some points!!
