Seawolves Fans

Notwithstanding some very good recruiting lately, I've noticed a very disturbing trend.  SBU often goes up against Hofstra for good talent.  Some of those players that both schools recruit are fiercely recruited by other schools as well, even including more reputed mid-majors and even some high majors.  In the past week alone, both Jared Rhoden and Samba Diallo (both highly rated recruits) have narrowed their candidate lists for their commitment decisions.  In both cases, the Seawolves were removed from consideration.  Not all that surprising, you might say.  However, Hofstra remained on the list in each case--WHY?

I've attended games at both schools, and grew up on LI.  There is no doubt in my mind that SBU's facilities and academics are head and shoulders above Hofstra's.  Furthermore, Hofstra's record was anything but stellar last season.  Somehow, we must get the word out forcefully that if you're a well-rated recruit, would consider a lesser hailed conference than others that have offered, and are willing to look at Long Island--the choice should overwhelmingly be SBU over Hofstra!!

If SB would to ever move their Basketball program into the A-10, that would all change..
