Who is our starting QB? Case?

When (seems inevitable at this point) O’Connor joins next, do we have any confidence that Geno can put together a roster that doesn’t finish in the bottom of the CAA next year?

I don't see how Stony Brook can compete in this new landscape. Geno's excuse every year is that the team doesn't have enough time to "gel." There's a very high possibility we will never have a talented 4-5 year player again in our uniform.

And Geno's isn't the type of coach that can coach up a bunch of 1 year "free agents."

This might be the beginning of the end for us and this program. I hope I'm not being too pessimistic but the future of this program doesn't look good at this point in time.

Unfortunately, Cosh is not a long term answer. If he repeats another successful year like this one, he's gone. He even admitted at one of his acceptance speeches for coach of the year that "most people told me not to take the Stony Brook job" which I found shocking.

On paper, this university should have everything necessary to have a successful athletics program. High endowment, large student body enrollment, good rankings and international recognition, and very little competition locally or regionally (except maybe Rutgers and St John's),
etc.

But, the apathy around our sports on campus is shocking. The student attendance at these games is atrocious. Stony Brook was always a "commuter" school, but the apathy is at all time high. The students are not engaged at all. I think more students go to my local high school game than a stony brook game.   

This was not the case when I was there 2006-2010. It's only gotten worse and Helibron is mostly to blame. Pray that we get a new President of the university that sees the potential and invests heavily in it. Otherwise, I have no clue why we jumped into the CAA. Either we are all in, or we are all out.
Otherwise, this is just a waste of time and money. There's a reason why another sponsor hasn't taken over for Island Federal Bank for the naming rights of the basketball arena either.

Geno is not a good coach. I think that's obvious at this point and time. He had a great run last year with some 5th year young men that were ballers and could create their own shot. He is completely incapable of competiting in today's changed college landscape.
Do we even have a "general manager" of NIL like most other schools do? A coach can't possible manage on their own. I like Geno personally, and he seems like a straight shooter and honest guy. But the results have been a total disaster this year.

Unless we devote ourselves to a total change in culture, it's going to be more of the same. In today's sports landscape, you can't be on a budget. Stony Brook is trying to have it both ways and the results are terrible. You need to either be ALL IN or ALL OUT. Otherwise we are wasting money that can be better spent elsewhere, and thats a shame because I am still a huge fan.   

Disaster. We might not win another game the rest of the year

The lack of playing time for Nyarko is shocking. I thought he was a lock for the starting lineup when the season started. The thought was that he was everything that we were missing- athleticism (especially in the paint), good pick and roll guy, highlight reel finishes. Can a reporter please ask Geno why this guy isn't playing??

I'm sure Geno expected more than him as well-- otherwise he would have recruited more size for the team. Is he being disciplined for some reason we don't know about? Something is not adding up.

But this team is abysmal so far, and the results can't get much worse up to this point so not sure what's going on?

Who is leaving us?
