I don't know if he's a scholarship kid or not, but next year
we'll have Bryan Mitchell, 6-1 G from New Jersey, on the roster.
Brother of DJ Mitchell, who could really shoot it off the bench
at Hartford. DJ said in an interview that Bryan is more athletic
and more polished than he was at his age.

I've been out of the loop. Does it seem like the roster is now
set? Did Gorman take the final "big man" spot? Or is there
perhaps still one spot/scholarship left?

Bart Torvik early 2025 rankings are out and not much love for
the Seawolves.

Only issue I have is the expected production from Ben Wight - 3
ppg and 2 rpg. This is a guy who averaged 11 ppg and 5 rbg in
our conference already.

in an attempt to keep things positive- isnt this site- like many
others- completely data driven? based on stale 2023 data?
they're looking at % of graduates, how many points they scored,
plus/minus, minutes, etc. and putting it into an algo to say
this team should be down.
i know you all know that, i guess my point is id rather see a
CAA article written by an expert that actually knows, that's
all.

Yes, Chairman, spot on. All this stuff is mostly hogwash. We
lost 4 starters from last year's team; that's their basis.

Totally agree on dismissing some of these sites. Especially when
you're bringing in juco talent, which is largely more difficult
to measure, it really is mostly nonsense.
This is a good window into what to expect this year. It's so
much better hearing from someone on the inside rather reading
from sites/publications that use or interpret stats.

One of the takeaways is Geno saying that Luster is "one of the
best shooters to ever set foot in our gym." Now, he really
talked up Frey too – and Frey can shoot it – but it hasn't
necessarily translated to big numbers in the scoring column as
of yet. He sounded excited about Woodard and Octave's ability
offensively. We'll need them.

that's great thank you checkie! very very good interview.
i like that mostly everyone was over 3.0, except for two that
were right there.
i know that ford hypes up our players- as he should- and as
everyone else does too- but he seems to like luster a lot, and
all the transfers for that matter.
guys like clarke were so valuable to us last year, maidoh too.
it makes you think- the schools they transferred from might not
have a sexy name, or conference, or record, but there are gems
there. in this crazy transfer market, finding them is the key,
more than ever. year after year now, unfortunately, this is the
job.
last year, particularly late, felt like magic. let's see if
we've got more of that. perhaps next spring!

This shouldn't be too surprising considering our turnover. I do
find it strange how these and other rankings can be created with
so many unknowns. I mean, can anyone really be certain how
productive Woodard, Nyarko and Luster will be? Are we really 45
spots behind Drexel, which lost a ton? And almost 100 back of
Hofstra?
The most interesting team to me this year is William & Mary.
They are by far the most experienced and connected (at least in
terms of time together) in the league, and now you bring in a
coach that is very highly regarded. He went out and built his
bench with two Ivy transfers and significant contributors at the
D-II level. If you go by ratings when these guys were recruited
(Pitt, Penn State, Vandy, etc, transfers), they could very well
have had talent, only it was in a losing system. They have to
shoot it better, but I feel like Earl could mold these pieces
into a top six kind of team.
