I almost feel like it's too early to be this excited for basketball since we're still in the thick of football season... but I'm really getting hyped for this team and can't wait to see them play tomorrow. I really think we can take down GW. At worst it should only be a 5 point game if that. Can't wait!!

I have absolutely NO inside info, but here's my suggested starting line-up based upon what I've heard about the scrimmages and what I was feeling at the Meet the Team event:


G Jaron Cornish                      1st G off the bench: Jordan MacKenzie
G Niles Latimer
W Akwasi Yaboah
SF Elijah Olaniyi                      1st SF/W off the bench: Andrew Garcia
C Jeff Ochere                          1st C/PF off the bench: Anthony Ochefu

I really want to see how good our new big man Alex Christie is. Having a 7 footer who can play would be huge for this team. Also curious to see how Latimer plays as this will be a local game for him that I'm sure his friends and family will be attending.

Optimism is ... scarce at the Smith Center.

Headline in yesterday's Post: GW basketball, lacking experience and size, has 'got a lot of work to do' entering 2018-19 season

The Colonials, for instance, were out-rebounded by Catholic, 48-46, and yielded 17 offensive rebounds to their Division III opponent.

Yikes. Good for our guys though. Feeling even better about this one.

This is a winnable game for us if we keep our heads on.  Im sure we can out rebound them and get the ball down court. Just limit  mental errors  and turnovers .

It's gameday, boys! What are your predictions???

I am FIRED UP for the year and everything about this matchup suggests that we can do this tonight, but just a hunch that we're not quite ready to topple a mid-major at their place on opening night. Last year's senior class wasn't perfect, but they had gobs of experience. I think in the early going we'll miss UC's grit, perimeter shot and ability to put the ball on the floor and get to the rim. The good news is that these newcomers will get a ton of run over the next two months to get ready for the AE grind. I have VERY HIGH HOPES.

But ... I'll temper expectations for day one.

With a guard heavy lineup, supposedly GW is going to play more up-tempo this year, which conflicts with what Littles (if he plays) brings to the table as a back-to-the-basket, questionable motor kind of kid. Nolan called Williams' post moves "NBA level" ... we'll see about that. He was a four-star recruit out of HS and wouldn't be the first blue chipper to benefit from a change of scenery.

Projected starters:

#0 Jaron Cornish / Senior / Abaco, Bahamas / Champagnat Catholic / Broward College

#3 Elijah Olaniyi / Sophomore / Newark, NJ / Newark East Side

#2 Miles Latimer / Freshman / Fairfax, VA / Paul VI

#15 Akwasi Yeboah / Redshirt Junior / Chigwell, England / Barking Abbey

#4 Jeff Otchere / Sophomore / Bronx, NY / Christopher Columbus HS / Garden City CC


With six new players on the team, it will be  interesting to see how team chemistry develops throughout the season. The Seawolves also have two walk-ons: Quari Alleyne and Nick Aubrey. Additionally, at 7’0”, Alex Christie, alongside UVM center Jake Lorenzo, is the tallest person in the conference.

Yeah. I cant waittt for that Delaware game this saturday. As much as I enjoy CBB, I'm a bigger Stony Brook football fan.

Nonetheless Lets go Seawolves!!!
