I suspect K State will be looking over their shoulders tonight. Hopefully UMBC pulls it off and  makes the Sweet 16 .

A couple A-10 jobs open now with Hurley going to UConn and Giannini being let go from LaSalle. Schmidt from St. Bonaventure also seems like he may take a job elsewhere too. I think they’re all within reach for Becker and Odom.

Moving up to the A10  isn't bad . Both programs are strong both at Rhode Island and St Bonnie and have good fan bases.

VT radio is split on whether Becker leaves. They also mentioned that Odom is linked to ECU and URI.

URI is the better school overall . ECU not so much but who knows  what the payoff is .

Woa!  Deshawn Thrower’s team playing for DII National Championship with Ferris State right now on CBS. He plays, but not a starter.

How old a Seawolf am I? I followed them during their Final 4 DIII hoops run in 1977-78 (they were called the Patriots then)

It looks like Odom will be sticking around. If he can do what he did these past two years without Lyles and Maura, I'll be especially impressed.

Does that really mean that he's staying for sure, or that he agreed to a raise and a new contract that makes UMBC competitive salary-wise?

(Meaning, he's not leaving for Middle Tennessee State, but if a Power 5 comes along....).

Middle Tenn State  don't even know where that is  LOL.  I'm he stays he wont repeat unless he has a great class coming in .  Maurra and Lyles made that team go this year and they are gone.

I don't know where to put this, but holy moly:

Jeffrey Bernstein
@Jeff__Bernstein

 @RodgerWyland just reported on @WNYT, UAlbany junior guards Joe Cremo and David Nichols plan to leave the program to pursue playing at a higher level. Cremo’s release is expected to come Monday. He has Power 5 interest.

An absolute stunner. And now Brown has to go out and pound the pavement for a handful of players ... that’s if Brown even stays. Where there’s smoke there’s fire. Something seems to be up.

This (grad) transfer trend could drop a bomb just about anywhere. Better hope we hold onto Akwasi. And Elijah. And anyone for that matter.

Cremo was extremely agitated after the loss to us in the quarters, and I remember seeing some of his post-game quotes as being unflattering to their program. Maybe he blamed Brown for the loss; maybe they didn’t get along. Personally, I don’t see him thriving at all in a higher conference.

I was worried for a couple of years that Jameel and Carson would bolt; but they never did.  Akwasi could be a flight risk after this coming year as a grad transfer or if he pulls a Nyama, but those risks always exist. Winning can stem that tide and Coach Boals needs to try to keep this young team together with the same intensity he used to recruit them.

In any event this UA news is huge.

Between graduations and transfers, it’s looking more and more like SBU and Hartford will be the teams to beat this upcoming season,

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???

There are 29,413,039 corporations in America; but only one Chairman of the Board.

Anytime a good player is graduating and has eligibility remaining,more than likely they will transfer to a higher level of play. It's common, just the nature of today's game. Hurts Albany a lot of course but helps us.I don't see coach Brown leaving Albany's program though. I'd only worry about Yeboah wanting to transfer after his graduation or he could take the Jarius Lyles route and stay for his grad year and carry his squad to the Dance.
