what i read was- cremo knew ahead of time that he wanted an upgrade (presumably because he wants a tourney berth) so the wheels were in motion for early graduation.  also heard he didnt like playing with nichols.  also heard nichols was a locker room cancer.  also heard they are both looking power 5 which i think is a stretch at best. 

the other two (cochran and conway) i have no idea.  but yes- 4 transfers in two days, two of which are the starting backcourt, not good.  also 14 transfers over the past few years.  this is the new normal, i know.  but also im not surprised because brown comes off like such a dick.

add to all that two graduation losses.  not good for UA.

yesterday's news was two other UA players leaving.  cochran and conway.

that's four players in two days.  usually by the end of the third year, you're staying.  especially if youre playing.  maybe something's up in the cap district???

some chairman, right???

ok i've made a cross-reference to this in the 2019 thread.  let's move there.  thanks.

put that in the recruiting thread!  it looks like we offered him.  not sure if he visited.

i can see why he skipped his hometown, in-state YSU (too many guards in front).  JMU is a threat but there is a three star just a year ahead. 

a lot of blocks and dunks in his video.  not bad for 6'6''!!!

you'll never see me advocate for anything other than bigs (as they make a big difference in this league) but i think we're going to need 2s.  we shoot terrible at times.  we graduate the deuce.  garcia is unproven and who knows the future.

look at our history.  when did we have great seasons?  joiner, brenton, warney.  when did we have disappointing seasons?  before and after.

Seawolf Nation, I am Jeff Otchere's Mentor. This thread displays how magnificent of a fanbase SB has. I'd like to let it be known that assistant coach Bryan Weber is a recruiting ace. He did the heavy lifting in the recruitment of Jeff along with Coach Boals. You guys have a young gifted ambitious coach/recruiter in Weber.
Stony Brook was always intriguing to him for many reasons: Location, Guys at his position graduating,young core, incoming recruits, Boals experience with guys who ended up being Pro's from his time at OSU,Boals player Freedom, Weber's likability, and the strength and conditioning coaches results. Your Strength coach is better than many high major strength coaches. Credit to Boals for bringing him in.
Bigger schools/programs were attractive but level didn't matter to him.
Stony Brook made more sense than the New Mexico State, Washington State and Old Dominion's of the world. Though those programs may have more "style points" next to their names. There is nothing wrong with Blazing your own trail. Jeff's excited to get to Campus and get to work. I am excited to see how special the team will be.
I truly believe the pieces are intact to win an America East title.
Reading through this thread I can tell these are some Miles Lattimer skeptics. Let's get this straight, he's NO JOKE. I see the best of the best prospects since I'm  part of an EYBL program and Miles doesn't look out of place among those types. He's always been back up on teams with Blue chip recruits.
Lattimer isn't a steal. It's a Highway robbery. He's that good. He's the AE rookie of the year in 2019.He's another recruit Weber got in early on.
Yeboah will be an AE First- team guy and potential POY, Elijah Olaniyi who is another recruit Bryan Weber did the heavy lifting on, will be much better than he already is.His work ethic is off the charts.He'll be an all Conference guy,no doubt about it.
I'm not low on McKenzie or Cornish. I'm Optimistic about both.
Anthony Ochefu showed flashes of what he can be this season, with a year of experience under his belt now. Watch out!
Hassan Ceesay(Another Weber Recruit) is another steal if his knee heals as expected. Being childhood friends with Olaniyi makes his transition to college that much easier. Which is a very undervalued variable.
These are the things Jeff and I saw that made SBU intriguing. He felt he could fit right into what's already there along with what's coming in and there is a serious chance to win the league as early as next season.
The Seawolves will be Well coached talented,big,long,athletic,skilled and balanced.

strong opening post.  strong.

this past year was by committee except for maybe yeboah and then late, ola.

i made an argument somewhere in feb that if we are going to do this, leverage the depth.  play fast paced.  half court press.  run teams into the ground, create upsets, all while filling seats.

but yes, you are correct.

sure, a lot to prove (as some havent worn the scarlet & gray yet) but, yes, a lot to look forward to!

we couldve used nyama this year.  we showed some heart without him.  now, next year, we are replacing:

donohoe, UC, sekunda (the deuce), almonacy
with moor, latimer, ceesay

sturdy, saintel, petras
with otchere, christie

this is an upgrade, i think. GO SB
