So you're telling me over the course of two days we lose three starters, in addition to Latimer, Otchere, and others? What the actual f***....


Virus or not, I'd have to say this is falling on Geno Ford. The man is not only inept at coaching, he can't even keep a roster together. Forget about the virus for a moment. If there's no college basketball next year that will effect everyone, not just SBU. So unless these kids are going pro overseas all at the same time (not happening) this falls squarely on the shoulders of Ford. I'm REALLY regretting not pulling in a better coach from the outside after Boals left. This has been nothing short of disaster save for a couple OOC games here or there.

I don't know a thing about the transfers we've brought in, so outside of Gueye and TSM, I'm not sure what we have for next year (if there even is a next year). I'm pissed 

Ford's gotta go, and based on the timing Coach P might be out the door along with him (lol yeah right a man can wish).

Exactly what I have been advocating for so long. I knew from day one Geno Ford was not a good coach. It was very easy to Stony brook to just promote Ford from assistant coach to HC when Boals left. It cost money to do a national search for a new coach, something apparently SB didn't have or dint want to do at that time. Big mistake.

As far as coach P is concerned. he should have been canned many years ago. Thats  story for another day.

Some people are talking about SB going into the A-10 WAC, etc..... That's not going to happen. Look how unstable this university is lately. Why would a conference take  chance with us when there are other schools from the midmajors that are a better fit..

im definitely starting to gravitate towards the "we need to leave the AE thing".  i have been for a while now.

but i know that there's more to it- money, contracts, expenses, facilities, visibility, academics, etc.  it's just not that easy.

it's hard to stay positive right now but im sure if bball is even on come november, i'll probably find a way to get excited about this program.

Just curious. Does anybody know what is going on with UA or Binghampton lately. Are they going through a transfer craze like SB is. What about all the other America East schools. Can somebody look into this please. lets see if this is a broad base issue or just isolated .

Transfer count per VC ...
Stony Brook 7
Albany 4
Lowell 4
UNH 3
Maine 2
Binghamton 2
Hartford 0
Vermont 0

So seven from SBU. And 15 from the other eight schools.

Thank you for that update. Clearly there is an underlying issue here at SB. Lowell has problems too. Part of it is the AE conference and part of it is the university problems.

my opinion? http://sbufan.createaforum.com/around-stony-brook/making-sb-better-idea-thread/

tuition aside (and that's a big one, but consider scholarships since we are talking athletics here), choose where you'd rather go to class:

Looks like the Lecture Hall hasn't had a facelift since I graduated back in the 1920's

lol. The whole campus is from the Cold War era, so everything save for the new buildings we've built in the last 15 years or so has that Cold War era ready for nuclear war with the Soviet Union type of look to it.

yeah.  i guess we all agree.  the question then becomes- how high is this on the priority list.

About the kind of schools I expected would be after Elijah. All good landing spots.

 Why not just finish up at stony brook. it's not like he will ever make it in the NBA. Something smells rotten to me.

Average home attendance for the 2019 season ...

B1G: 12,691
SEC: 11,527
ACC: 10,912
Big East: 9,999




Bundesliga: 4,189

NBA G League: 2,465

AE: 1,693

Might be his only remaining shot at playing big-time basketball. Why not go for it?

Elijah will be a bench players at any of the power schools. He has zero chance of going to the NBA. This cant be about saying you played for Kentucky for 1 season and kept the bench warm. Why not just finish up at SB and get a really good Diploma.

This is about something else. What doesnt come out in the wash will come out in the rinse.
