"According to the attorney general's office, Congress Heights
had the most incidents of violent gun crime in the city in 2020
and 2021, and 27 homicides with firearms within the past three
years."
Not something you want to be number one in. At first, I was like
"a WNBA team plays there; how bad could it be?!?" In the
daytime? Maybe. But at night it'd be tough. Maybe find a parking
garage in a safer neighborhood and take an Uber to the front
steps.
This was an interesting read. Guy can write.

Now's when the transfer portal gets interesting. I miss the old
VC format though. It takes forever to load, and the players
don't even have stars anymore I don't think. I don't need a
souped-up anything; just give me the info straight.

is that right? moore is coming back, policelli, pettway, fitz?

That's what announcer said, but not so sure. I guess they're
all eligible for the extra Covid year (even Fitz?). He said
that Dalton Bolon of CoC was in his 7th year (he's 24).
Remember when we had everyone coming back in the Boals->Ford
transition year? One guy left (Garcia), and that started an
avalanche of transfers. I think we will just need to see how it
all plays out with Geno and current rosters and transfers.

Would Geno come back without an extension? I guess it'd be
everyone's last year: Policelli, TSM, Fitzmorris, Clarke, Noll,
etc... so even if they play it out and the season sucks again
its easy to start over with a full clean slate, since both the
coach and all of our best players will be gone regardless. But
it's just so unlikely to give a coach a lame duck year. It s
always some secret extension BS like what happened with Priore
this year.
Heilbron would be stupid enough to get swindled into giving Geno
five more years in order for him to get one final shot with the
current roster. But that would be so dumb.

Funny, enough I found that article the other day lol.
If the team were better I probably wouldn't care so much and go
anyway, but given how bad we are.... yeah, not worth it.

i do agree that VC is harder to read in the new format.
ultimately, i dont even care about stars. just find players
that pass the ball and just like that, we will win.

Re: Geno, recruiting – an already difficult task in this climate
– can't be easy without a guarantee that the coach would be
returning the following year. Grad transfers maybe, but what
high school senior would be interested in that?

Somebody who's plugged into this stuff said that he heard from a
"very good" source that Geno is out.
Meanwhile, Claxton got a well-deserved "multi-year extension"
today.

So un-Stony Brook like, but your other point of inability to
legitimately recruit as a lame duck coach is certainly valid.
Add to that, Heilbron may be desperately trying to save his own
hide (this was discussed in an earlier thread), particularly
after the Priore extension blunder. Also, McGinnis may be more
serious about sports than we know, especially with the elevation
to the CAA. If your rumor is true, nice severance package for
Geno, for the upcoming year.
I know I'm in the minority here, but I'm all for Will Brown.
He'll fit our budget, local guy who'll be able to tap into the
Long Island recruiting market, knows how to win (5 trips to
NCAA), and is arrogant enough to turn things around quickly.
How's Albany been doing since they let him go?????
