I agree with your assessment.   And to be politically correct, they should all say nice things, to impress their next coach with their character.   Latimer's thanking of all except his coaching staff was a mistake, and tells me something about the kid, whether Geno treated him fairly or not.  You never burn britches when you're out the door.

I wish all these kids luck in their next venture (if there is one).  Garcia was clearly torn on being the peg that brought the house down.  He will be a bench player for any Power 5, and I hope he doesn't regret his decision.

I also know Coronovirus keeping the team away from one another was a factor, but at the end of the day, Geno and Heilbron have to take some responsibility for not keeping this crew together as well.

Time to turn the page with this team, and see what we can do with a totally new roster.  After all, we were 1-2 in the AE playoffs the last 2 seasons, with all games at home.  Clearly, this roster had its chances and opportunities and clearly they didn't deliver.  So maybe with very low expectations this coming season, we were spared another year of disappointment with the old crew.

Speaking of new roster, looks like we added another athletic wing:

i like sewell; i like him a lot- glides through the air, lots of dunks, can penetrate from the wing.  might like to see less play with the free arm. 

reminds me of brenton.  confident in the paint/traffic.

note the very end you see him turn and baby hook.

LOL, CoB, no worries.   I've gone from really really disappointed 2 days ago -> to this is the world we live in yesterday -> to analyzing the situation objectively today.   I'm ready to move on; expectations low, but excited to see what we can do with a whole new roster.  I mean, isn't that what Hartford went through this past season??  Out with the old; in with the new.

Never mind the scoring. Look at all those boards. In the last 10 games, he had 13, 13, 8, 15, 11, 15, 12, 10, 13 and 12. He had at least four offensive boards in all but one of those games.

Per VC, he was mostly a D-II guy out of high school and I'm skeptical of the defense being played (88 ppg?), but I'll take a guy who's committed to hitting the boards. Looks pretty springy too. Could be a crowd favorite.

Plus, I'm always in favor of MORE INITIALS GUYS. TSM, TPP, now LES.

It's worth noting that we don't have anybody in our freshman class right now, and just four offers out for the 2020 class. Go get me Luis Kortright out of St. Raymond's or Ibrahim Wattara from Mount St. Mike's. Or a high D-I bounceback kid. Anthony Nelson from Seton Hall comes to mind – floor general, New York City kid, high academics, just looking for somebody to give him the keys. Unfortunately he would have to sit a year so, with two already doing that, I'm thinking he's out.

Hartford is a great comparison for us right now. Ellison and Carter weren't perfect players, but they both came in there and ran with it, and I think they had a legitimate shot at taking down Vermont.

I’ve had my own interactions with Latimer outside of basketball and can confirm that the dude was really full of himself - I understand athletes are naturally cocky due to their talent but even compared to that he was something else. Not surprised that he would purposefully leave out the coaches in his farewell.

On the surface this transfer’s numbers are great. Averaging a double double, 63% shooting? Awesome. How will it translate to the D1 level?

The SBU website still lists everyone on the roster.  Does anyone have an updated one that reflects where we are today?  I've lost track big time.

for clarity, Sayles and Greene are DI transfers that have to sit out this coming year?

I guess as of now McKenzie is starting at PG

I just posted this in recruiting.

We just signed Juwan White, a 6'2" combo guard from Butler CC. Immediately eligible.

We won him over a slew of D2 schools including SW Oklahoma State, Minnesota State, Georgia Southwestern, Arkansas Monticello, and Texas A&M International.

So we were his only D1 offer. On the surface, that’s not encouraging

Look a little closer, and I think you may find that the Seawolves stole one here.  Very quick, with a mean stutter step and unusually good eye for the assist.

Have to agree, at least based on highlight reel. Quick release, sharp cuts, and can easily go to both his left and right.
