Seawolves win 2019 AE title
ThegreatK:
Good day to everyone, I hope everyone is in the best of spirits.As the basketball season is on the herizon,I'm going to get right to it and speak it into existence. We have a real chance to win the conference this year. The fan base and the community should really be excited for this years squad and rally behind it.
Olaniyi is working his tail off and should make a big jump (Scary)
Yeboah will be in the race for player of the year
Lattimer is shooting the leather off the ball
Cornish improved physically and in his approach playing alongside pro's this summer on the Bahamian national team.
Otchere's getting better offensively day by day. We know what his defense will be.
Otchere in the back allows Olaniyi and Cornish to hound guys even more on the perimeter.
Not many guards in the AE have the shake and back and wiggle to break free of those kind of guys. Lyles had a hard time with Olaniyi defending him last year. Who has more shake and bake in the AE this year than him???
And if you do shake free of him or Cornish, you have to finish over a guy who can get up to 12 feet.
All of the returners improved over the summer!
Big Alex Christie has made changes to his body working with Coach Greene like you wouldn't believe. He'll be a monster down the road and very formidable this season.
Speaking of Coach Greene, in the northeast region I'd put his Strength and conditioning work up there with any school including Villanova, Cuse,Seton Hall. He's that good.
The Media may not have us pegged as favorites but what do they know?
Wait til the wheels get turning, we will be rocking and rolling. 2019 Champs!
Chairman of the Board:
i love the enthusiasm!
of course, i am always a bit cautious of hype. some of the guys are unproven. but i have high hopes.
been trying to read the AE forums to prepare for november but there's a lot on there. one thing i do know is that i cant stand ualbany.
Checkmate:
I love the potential of this group. This is without seeing the freshman class, but you can't help but feel like there's a much higher ceiling than what you saw with the 2018 class. Sturdy, Sekunda, Petras, Saintel – they all kind of were who they were and never made any major, major strides from year one to four. But to return an all-conference guy and the AE ROY? And to back them with what's being talked up as a game-changing recruiting class? Now we're talking.
I wonder if Yeboah can take that next step and be a 18-20 guy. Plus, the seniors are gone, so this is his team without question.
I'm most eager to see what Chef and Otchere look like this year. Imagine Chef being a 12 and 8 kind of guy and Otchere a true rim protector. That would make us awfully tough.
I don't think it's deniable that this is Hartford's conference to lose – just too much firepower and experience – but I give us a chance.

The only one in the group that I would say that actually improved was Saintel, he was noticeably bigger and played hard. Petras should not be in D1, and Sturdy and Sekunda were actually worse from their sophomore years. Sekunda was not the same after he got hurt. Sturdivant thought he was a 3 point/perimeter shooter and played a completely different game then he did 2 years ago backing up Warney.
guest282:
Looking forward to the season. Anyone want to take a guess at the starting five?
Otchere
Olinayi
Yeboah
Lassiter
Mackenzie
With Ochefu and Cornish being the first guys off the bench.
Not sure about Long, Garcia, Christie, Ceesay or Moor, but if I had to guess, I'd say a healthy a Garcia could contribute off the bench with scoring.
