Looks like we’re seriously decapitated now for the upcoming season. 4 of 5 starters from last year biting the dust. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news:

So, unless Geno is scaring kids away, my educated guess is this is what's happening with Olaniyi and Garcia:  With a (good) chance that the upcoming NCAA basketball season may not be happening, Olaniyi is probably looking out for himself and forgoing his senior year to turn pro and play somewhere overseas (NBA ain't happening).  With Olaniyi leaving, Garcia is probably weighing options to also turn pro, or use transferring to be a bench player on a higher-caliber team (Rutgers maybe poaching again here?) to enhance his resume should there be a season, with an eye to turning pro the following year.

Anyone have a different theory?

My experience in the past with this issue is usually because of the HC. To have this many transfers in one season, clearly on Geno Ford shoulders. He is a hack and needs to go before SB goes back into the dark days of D3

I have seen nothing from Christie that shows me he's worthy of a D1 scholarship at that position and I doubt I ever will. I hope I eat my words, but I doubt it.

Christie is not a D1 player, we all know that and that's fine. Coaches make mistakes when offering kids scholarships. The bigger question should be. Does that school continue his scholarship and tie up a roster position. To me, that is hurtful to the rest of the team and quite frankly, throwing money away.

Don't be so quick to give up on Christie!  Remember Petras?  He was an abomination his 1st 2 years, and by his Senior year, he was a serviceable big man.   Also, with Otchere and Ochefu transferred out, we're suddenly a very small team.  With Mo being a wing and not a 5, and his propensity to get into foul trouble through aggressive play, we need some backup depth, IMO.  Habwe will also probably help fill that void.

I don't know what to make of this at all. Is it because of the weird season we're about to have, or because of Geno?

I'd think, honestly, because everything is up in the air, that as a player, you'd want to keep things as normal as possible, and know that when (or if) the season begins, you're going to be a main focal point, instead of jumping blindly into a system you know nothing about.

This just shows how detrimental being in the America East is. The school CANNOT accept this conference. This is a wake up call.
