I just don't see how guys can look at the year Yeboah had at Rutgers and not want a similar experience for themselves. I was stunned when GreatK said that Garcia wanted to stay – the allure is just too strong. And now Elijah, geez.I hope this is more a sign of the times than a sign of the current culture at SBU.
Garcia is no Yeboah. Although different types of players, Olaniyi is not of the same caliber as Yeboah either, IMO. Olaniyi’s decision is purely one of economics I’m guessing. He’d rather play in Europe now rather than risk sticking around for a potential non-season, and lose a season to inactivity. I’m sure he’s not graduating in 3 years and grad transferring. With Garcia, I’m willing to bet that Pikiell poached him. On that loaded Rutgers team, he’ll come off the bench for 10-12 mins per game, no more. He won’t get any decent minutes anywhere above the A10 level imo. I hope he doesn’t wind up regretting the lure of Yeboah’s move. He’d be a first-teamer this year in the AE, and that might be better for his resume than bench minutes in a higher profile program.

Athletes come to get an education and o yeah, play basketball for free. Last I checked stony brook academics is pretty good and you will go places in this world with this diploma. What I don't get is how a few people on this forum thinks athletes are leaving for different reasons besides a coaching problem. Clearly, something is going on behind closed doors, and athletes are seeing it. Coach Ford will turn out to be the worst BB coach this university has ever seen. Kids are leaving in droves because off Geno Ford. What is there not to see?? Dont blame the economy. Dont blame the NCAA blame the athletics dept for allowing this to happen. This crap didn't happen when Pikiell case here.

I also think SB has two more scholarships to offer.Great opportunity for TPP and TSM to step up, as for now likely now both are starters.
