I have to believe Walker and Burnett were red shirted this
season . They havent played a minute , Mitchell is a new
addition. If so thats four and we have 5 slots to fill- with
Brenton, Bracey, Rouse, Hayes and Resner all leaving.

Resner is a walk on - no need to fill that slot. Nyama and
Mitchell are taking two of the available sholarships leaving 2.
We have no pressing needs for next year so my guess is that the
staff can hold out for a real reach or maybe fill in with a JUCO
transfer or two.

I understand what you're saying about "...no pressing needs...",
but let's not overlook what Brenton does for this team. I don't
think there's anyone on the roster now that can truly fill his
role.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that SBU can land Devonne Pinkard
(out of the Philly area). My understanding is that Stony Brook
is on his short list, and that he may make a decision this
month. From what I've seen and read, he seems to have a lot of
skills, and I'd love to see him and Warney playing side-by-side
up front!!

I guess what I'm getting at re: the redshirts is that I didn't
think you just automatically became a redshirt by not playing.
Doesn't the coach have to make an official designation re: a
particular player on the roster? The current roster doesn't
reflect either Burnett or Walker as a redshirt, so when does
this happen?

A redshirt is designated after the season based on the fact
that the player still qualifies for the redshirt. You have 5 yrs
to play 4, any combo of that including JUCO or transfer. You can
get a 6th yr due to injury. As far as suiting up for gms you can
still be redshirted after the season even though you suited up.
Example would be in football when Essington didn't dress for the
playoff gm against Villanova, they dressed freshman QB Pat
D'amato to replace Essington. In football you can dress for the
whole year but still maintain a redshirt status if you didn't
play. I would think the same rule applies to basketball.

My no pressing needs comment is based on the fact that both red
shirts, Walker and Burnett play the Brenton position. That is
very likely the reason they both red shirted. They can both
play, but how much playing time were they going to get this year
in Tommy's position? If they averaged 10 mins a game I see the
point of the red shirts where next year one or both of them can
step in and play a ton on minutes. Burnett is very fundmentally
sound - has been very well coached over the years. Walker is a
best athletically and hopefully he is picking up the system well
this off year. When I also say no pressing needs what im
getting at is that the team can hold off and try to land a reach
player without having to worry about just filling the slot, like
the kid from Philly you mentioned. We have Warney - hopefully
that will tempt some more 3 or 4 star players to jump on the
Seawolf band wagon.

Obviously Brenton is a major loss, but I agree with this. I
think the staff should be looking to get the best available
players. JUCO may be a good route as it will help even out
scholarship classes.
Besides Pinkard, anyone know of any players the coaching staff
is targeting? I've seen reports they've been in contact with
Chris Braley but don't know how much interest there is on either
side

Speaking of Braley, he's going to be visiting Stony Brook today,
so it definitely looks like there is some interest on his part.
He is one of the top recruits from Maine, and from what I've
read he has a ton of offers from a lot of mid-major schools,
including UVM.

Yeah , I looked back on the America East board and some of the
UVM fans were really high on him back in the summer. Sounds like
he would be a great addition.

Has anyone seen 6' 9" SF Luke Petrasek from Northport high
school? Rivals says we're showing interest in him. I'd love to
bring in a true local kid.
Edit: I found some highlights online
