Tre Purifoy was in attendance last night sitting behind the Rutgers bench.. Did you get a chance to talk to him Lax??? I saw he was only 3 seats away from you.
Yes, I spoke with Tre (I was his biggest fan and he was extremely underappreciated during the Warney years). I shook hands and he spoke about playing in only two games and being out for the rest of the season due to a leg injury. He had long leg brace, but it didn't stop he from moving around like rabbit.

I'm a broken record but I'm impressed with the job Boals is doing with a roster that's not the most talented in the world.

Positives:
1. Sekunda is getting his legs back under him and regaining his confidence. He's also playing surprisingly good defense.
2. Woodhouse is the unquestioned leader- he's playing really composed ball.
3. Yeboah looks like a very good player- he's got tremendous poise for a freshman.
4. Nyama has taken the next step forward- he's the type of athletic wing that I think Boals is building around.

Negatives:
1. Sturdivant is outmatched against good bigs- he's not big enough to hang in there in the post. It's not a huge deal as he'll be OK in the America East.
2. Petras needs to work on his post defense- he does not play like a 7 footer. Mixed bag for Petras. overall.
3. Saintel and Iroegbu continue to disappoint- our JuCos have been essentially nonfactors this year.

I still think this team has shown they can make some noise in the America East.

  Yeboah should make the All Rookie Team come March he continues to impress . Sturdivant was outmatched last  night as were a couple of our guys . Rutgers is not Ohio State  but they are still a Big 10 program.  I suspect we could sneak in as a 3rd or 4th spot in AE play. Other than Vermont and maybe UNH everything is up for grabs Albany runs hot  and cold and has new guys also.  So we still have shot come March .
