The 7 footer didn't pan out. While he was Finisher he was not good enough. Confident we will be bringing in one more player (probably European) before school starts. (Like my play on words there?)
It seems to me that time is extremely short now to add someone new to the roster for this year. Am I wrong about that? It would be a shame to upset the chemistry of a team whose members have apparently bonded with each other over the summer and, I think, have already started to work out together. A rush to add a lesser player from those remaining at this stage just because he's a true "big", I think would be a serious mistake. I'd like to see how the new guys perform and give this team a shot to mature.
Instead, I'd like to see a full court press on getting a really good big man for next year, who can grow with the team. I've been checking out the write-ups on the '15 PF/C candidates, and found the following to be particularly interesting. If any of you, who are closer to the program than I am, agree; perhaps you could call attention to them to one of Coach P's staff. I picked them (although info is severely limited) because they are not currently overwhelmed with offers, seem to be highly talented with good upside potential, are in areas where SBU has recruited before and seem to be in situations indicating solid academic standing.
I'd be interested in some feedback.
