io pienso piu carabiniere, e gendarmerie!

Carabiniere e più simile "national guard."  "Gendarmerie" è una parola francese, non?

i always thought they were more para-military, i dunno.  military with police powers.  never fully understood it.

yes- they are french.  i threw it in as an analogous (well, hopefully analogous) outfit!

I’m a bit discouraged at the fact that he’s from Mount Saint Mary’s as opposed to a bigger school... but then again Woodhouse was from Longwood. Foreman from Chattanooga. Hardly eye-popping names either.

Unclear to me what the attraction is.  So many available JUCO and transfer candidates, not to mention some really good HS graduating recruits.  I hope I'm wrong, but Habwe seems like an underwhelming choice.

I agree. I just dont see any superstars on this team this year. If Olaniyi doesnt return back to SB this steam is going to be average at best .A 500 team in the AE. and most likely a losing record.

i know i pointed it out a few weeks back but we now have 9 athletes in this junior class.  and no incoming freshmen.

then again, with the way transferring has picked up, who knows what will happen before nov.

As I pointed out earlier in this thread, on average, 2/13 players will transfer from any given team each year. Knowing this, teams may be focusing less on bringing in freshman and just bringing in “free agents”; a total recruiting paradigm shift. Just wait until they start paying college players.

understood but worst/best case scenario that leaves us with 7 departing seniors next year.  not sure where a senior would transfer to anyway. 

that's half the team- possibly 9.  yet, no incoming FR.

I actually prefer mid major transfers that have produced at the D1 level to high major transfers that never saw the floor (See Woodhouse, Foreman). Habwe's junior year stats took a step back, but if he were transferring  after is 9pt 5 reb per game sophomore season it would look like a really good pick up. I don't think he'll be an all conference player, but he's going to get on the floor and contribute. We're better today than we were yesterday. That's my view

Pretty interested in Rodriguez because I took this tweet to mean Weber was gushing about him.

Weber has a pretty good track record with recruiting:  Olaniyi, Foreman, Latimer, Otchere, Mo, TSM, TPP, Chef, Mac as a guy focused on recruiting at SBU.   If he's excited about Rodriguez and Habwe joining us, we certainly have to give him the benefit of the doubt at this juncture.  Of course, time will tell.

CoB, I'm not advocating this new paradigm shift, just acknowledging it.  No way anyone thought Hartford would make the AE Finals after graduating 5 seniors.  Gallagher went to the well, and probably got pretty lucky, going free agent this past year.  If we need 9 guys next year, 5 transfers and 4 freshman perhaps?   You bring in freshmen this year, and have them sit, you're basically running the risk of them transferring the next year.   Definitely a dilemma.  Glad I'm not in Geno's shoes trying to keep everyone happy, and simultaneously planning for the future.

Our new guy, Juan Felix Rodriguez, is a JuCo Second Team D-1 All American.
He was Honorable Mention last season.
