Just a question: If Toby and Leon had eligibility left, would
they have honored on Senior Day?
Also, what's your prediction re: Shoshkikj returning?

goods to the portal is good. lets be reasonable here he was
exciting at times with his dunks and three point shooting. but
defensively he was not amusing what so ever. constantly getting
our rebounded on both sides the field. he had some stock going
into our 4 game final stretch which he completely exhausted
based on his game. also never had a killer instinct, always
played so passively as if he didnt care. also i heard his
relationship with geno wasnt the best. lets hope geno can bring
in some good bigs for next year.

I壇 be thrilled if everyone came back. Lots of good guards and
wings. Need to somehow recruit 60 minutes a game of inside
presence. Defense and scoring in the paint. Everything the team
lacked this year.

Shosh vs. O'Connor.....pick one; doubt we can afford both. The
rest of the list I agree with. Need another Pratt and need a
couple of bigs to start. Early close to portal will tell us a
lot.

No doubt you're right about Shosh and O'Connor. I would think,
too, after the numerous huge games Shosh had he'll be looking to
take his craft beyond SBU and the CAA if possible.
But it's intriguing to think of those two,
all-conference-caliber players, potentially together. Too much
of the same player or could they find a way to work together?
Those two would immediately help with a few problems like
backcourt scoring and ball handling.
And, yes, I'd say we all agree that SBU needs a re-tooled and
bulky front line to compete in the top portion of the CAA.

Okafor is out per VC so that's now seven openings here. I don't
have much to go on, but my sense is he drops down a level.

It痴 obviously not ideal that Shosh hit the portal but I知 happy
for him. He値l help somebody out.
For the moment, we have a solid core. I知 hoping that this is it
for transfers.

Big loss but predictable.
Simmon, O'C, Butler ='s still solid at the guard position (I
think ???)

In assessing the guard situation for next year, don't overlook
incoming freshman Kasen Daeger. He could turn out to be a real
find.
My major concern is more with the big guys. Goods and Oleg are
now gone, and the only offer that I know of that's pending is
Riley Dunn. Can't tell what the chances are of landing him, and
certainly don't know whether he would just turn out to be
another project. We need Coach Hipsher to pull another
international rabbit out of his hat.
