OH THANK YOU SWEET BABY JESUS!!!

We need somebody to actually draft him or for him to wind up in a camp somewhere, but my goodness do things get interesting if he isn't back. Now just imagine if he gets drafted and we hang on to Yeboah somehow (not happening, but a man can dream).

I give him a 80% chance of returning to school. I’m surprised he’s not a transfer candidate truthfully. He has done everything that he can in the AE.

Who was the last AE player to declare early like this? Has it ever happened? It’s been over 25 years since Vin Baker got drafted.

Looks like Lamb is coming back to Vermont after checking out his NBA prospects:

Maybe Yeboah will come back to SBU too after checking out the Big Ten schedule and realizing that Rutgers will be a below .500 team :)

Think they get ranked this upcoming season then? Senior Lamb in a weakened AE shouldn't drop a single conference game.

They changed the rule a few years ago. A lot of guys test the waters and go back now.

Boals gets Ohio on the board with an impressive road win at St. Bonaventure. The Bonnies were picked to finish pretty high in the A-10. They get Vermont on Friday.

Rutgers debuts tomorrow. I'm curious to see where Yeboah fits into their rotation.

Almonacy and Long get started at SNHU this weekend.

Watched the first half.  Rutgers seems like a speed team this year; very athletic but not a lot of basketball IQ.  Akwasi seems to be the 6th or 7th man on team.  Although he hit a late 3, he looked a bit lost and didn't have a lot of court chemistry with the rest of the team, IMO.  First game of the year, so can't really make a judgement yet.  It's hard to go from being the man, to being on the 2nd team, but I'm sure he'll make a contribution.  Comment made by announcers that Pikiell is going to run more this year, since he's always in the basement offensively in the Big 10.

Lots of references to SBU, when Akwasi first got in the game.  Even showed a still photo of entire team with Pikiell, when he was a redshirt freshman, and announcers gave kudos to Danny Carter for alerting Pikiell to "this kid in England".  I hope he does well, even though I still think he made the wrong choice.

Got the start, 24 minutes, 10 points on 2 for 8 shooting, 5 for 6 at the line. Leading scorers for Rutgers went 11, 11, 10, 9, 9, 8, 7. Their non-conference schedule is equal to or worse than ours, but of course they have wars twice a week in the Big Ten. I'm sure it'll be fun to play in front of raucous crowds all the time. Hey, wait, I'm raucous!

Two good road victories for the AE tonight: Vermont at St. Bonaventure and Lowell winning convincingly at LIU, the preseason favorite in the NEC.

Another nice win for Boals last night, going into New Rochelle and beating Iona 81-72 to move the Bobcats to 3-0 on the year. Next two tilts: at #10 Villanova and a neutral site game with #24 Baylor.

Rutgers is up to 3-0 also with wins over Bryant, Niagara and Drexel. Yeboah's been a solid bench piece for them, averaging about 10 a night.

Almonacy and Long have started each of SNHU’s first two games. Almonacy 9.5 ppg, 5 rpg, 4.5 apg in 31 minutes a night. Long 12 ppg on 8 of 11 shooting. I’ll bet they’re enjoying their time up there.
