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.

He looks deceptively quick, but this is against JC competition, so we'll see.  Good shooting #'s, and 2 Assists per game.  Still one scholly left unless they give it to one of the walk-ons.
How old a Seawolf am I? I followed them during their Final 4 DIII hoops run in 1977-78 (they were called the Patriots then)

Here's a dandy to fill the Seawolves' last open scholarship slot JUCO SF Mo Diallo (Grew up in Harlem, like Garcia).
Just committed.

Another Mo??  We’ll need another nickname. Anyone remember Al Rapier, who was a JC transfer if I remember correctly?  He was a diamond in the rough who turned to be pretty good.

I recommend we go with Mo-G and Mo-D.

Solid on the Mo nicknames; and the addition of LES.

Looking ahead to 2020-21

I didn’t love the video for Diallo but can’t argue with the workload and production. Must be decent. If I had to guess the newcomers’ impact in 2020-21, in order I’d go ...

Elliott-Sewell
Diallo
White
Habwe
Rodriguez

Who of this group gets us 15 a night? TSM and/or Policelli? And who's the leader?

Guessing TPP, TSM, Policelli, Diallo, Gueye is our starting five. Maybe LES instead of Diallo.

Juco numbers can be so deceptive. For example, White's shooting stats might intrigue you, but Thrower, Long and Almonacy also lit it up from deep at the D-II level. Walker went for 21 and 8 at Barton – pretty ordinary here. Even though it's the AE, I expect it'll be a good-sized jump in competition for these guys.

Close, but no cigar, CoB.  You left out LES!

I think it's going to be small lineup and be Rodriguez, TPP, TSM, Policelli and Gueye. I still think this can be a really solid team. Policelli is a big winner with this roster change. I've always thought he could be a great AE player, but it was going to be hard to give him playing time over olaniyi, garcia and Gueye. He's now definitely a starter and probably getting 25% of possessions when he's on the floor.

EDIT: also everyone should look at how great the Dayton team that Policelli transferred out of was this season. Don't hold his limited production as a freshman against him

I forgot about Hadwe, I think it's:

Rodriguez
TSM
Hadwe
Policelli
Gueye

So it appears that we have a full team now.  13 roster spots taken plus 2 red-shirts (unless NCAA potentially loosens transfer restriction for coming year).  Assuming that sitting for 1 year on transfer continues, do the 2 red-shirts count against us for this upcoming year on max team scholarships of 13?  If not, is there a chance that Kadisha and Alleyne will be released in favor of opening up 2 scholarship openings?

This is now completely new to us.  I don't think we have ever entered a season where we have zero idea about whether this team is any good or not.  I have a hunch that this team is still a top half team, but it is based on absolutely nothing.  What does excite me, is that you have to think that we now have a roster for next year that all want to be here.  Returners and new comers alike have to feel like there is something to prove and we may see a team that plays more desperate then the ones we've seen the past 3 or 4 years.  I am optimistic and looking forward to this.

I’d love to be optimistic, but I don’t know how you can replace three All-Conference starters with a bunch of JUCO guys and expect similar results
