I can't believe i'm going to be alumnus, Buying my first season tickets. Make me feel good. I'm coming back, and hopefully a lot of the recent grads return to support SBU

Go Seawolves!

I love it.  SB can get not just one but multiple wins over FBS schools this year. 

You gotta dream.  You gotta dream it before it happens.
There are 29,413,039 corporations in America; but only one Chairman of the Board.

I really believe  we can beat Army.  Syracuse I dont know   like to see us stay in it as we did against UTEP . Then anything can happen in the 4th quarter!

Also we should note that we have 3 more scholarships to give out. Last year we brought in major contributors Mulrooney and Solice after national signing day, so I wouldn't be surprised if we land some more impressive transfers/recruits.

Spring roster is out but Coker isn't on it. Any word?

Sam Houston, Syracuse, and UTEP are all within a 30-team range (out of 246 teams) by Sagarin, so if SBU could play with Sam Houston and UTEP, they can play (and possibly beat) Syracuse. 

Coker's on the roster now.

It looks like we lost Craig Richardson and Alex Probasco. Both were starters on D in 2010, but seemed to have been passed on depth chart by guys like Trujillo, Francklin and Solice. It would have been nice to have kept them around though because they are both proven commodities on the field that could provide solid depth for us.

Not a bad "problem" to have— "solid" guys transfer because even better players will get the playing time.

Da'rell Hatcher hasn't gotten a lot of press, but he has a really impressive highlight video. I like him more than either Bedell or Crossan from a pure running back point of view.

I saw him  play this last season . An Ed Gowins clone.  He bounces off defenders and keeps  driving very tough to bring down .    Hope he gets some playing time unless they red shirt him  with Maysonet  graduating next after next season.

Here's an article on Coxson transferring to Stony Brook with quotes from OC Jeff Behrman. We haven't talked much about Coxson but he could be VERY good. There just aren't many guys that are 6' 1" and can run a 4.42 40

We just added another BCS transfer with the signing of Minnesota's Leston Simpson. He doesn't have any tackles while at Minnesota but it looks like he appeared in every game he was available for, and my rule of thumb is if a kid is getting on the field at a BCS school, they'll get on the field, and probably be quite good, here.

So I think we have two scholarships left, and we could still use a transfer at corner to make up for the loss of Hutchins and Porter. I think Dominic Clarke from Ohio State is looking at Stony Brook and that could be a another great addition for the Brook.

I'm getting so hyped for this Stony Brook team. Are we truly National Championship contenders?... That is the first time any program at Stony Brook is a contender (Lacrosse is arguable) and for it to be football is amazing!

Anybody notice how transfers are coming back to the island to play for SB:

That is huge. We are getting attention from transfer recruits who realize they have a place they can play at closer to home. I'm glad to see Stony Brook getting transfers that originally resided in the island.

Leston Simpson - Minnesota - Springfield, NY
Greg Melendez - Idaho State - Brooklyn, NY
Dimetrius Bernard - Fresno - Jamaica, NY
