More importantly, hope that he is not a dud. A lot of 6'8" guys
can play center more effectively than a lot of 7 footers can,
especially at the low-major level. There was a 6'11" center
during SBU's D-III days in the 70s, and he was an average center
at best.

Any chance we can put a name to this mystery prospect?

The 7 footer didn't pan out. While he was Finisher he was not
good enough. Confident we will be bringing in one more player
(probably European) before school starts. (Like my play on
words there?)

It seems to me that time is extremely short now to add someone
new to the roster for this year. Am I wrong about that? It
would be a shame to upset the chemistry of a team whose members
have apparently bonded with each other over the summer and, I
think, have already started to work out together. A rush to add
a lesser player from those remaining at this stage just because
he's a true "big", I think would be a serious mistake. I'd like
to see how the new guys perform and give this team a shot to
mature.
Instead, I'd like to see a full court press on getting a really
good big man for next year, who can grow with the team. I've
been checking out the write-ups on the '15 PF/C candidates, and
found the following to be particularly interesting. If any of
you, who are closer to the program than I am, agree; perhaps you
could call attention to them to one of Coach P's staff. I
picked them (although info is severely limited) because they are
not currently overwhelmed with offers, seem to be highly
talented with good upside potential, are in areas where SBU has
recruited before and seem to be in situations indicating solid
academic standing.
I'd be interested in some feedback.

I agree Gold. Bring in a new guy in November through a NLOI
and start him fresh next summer. We are not hurting for bigs at
the moment. Don't redshirt next season but give him some minutes
since Warney and King will be seniors and let him gain some
experience. Then in 2016 let him play . A good 6'10 plus kid
around 250 world work.

Here's some hot news!! Looks like both Scott King and Chris
Braley will be transferring, opening up two potentially
immediately impactful schollys for 2015-2016 to fill in a big
hurry. If Coach P. and his staff play their card right, this
could turn out to be a huge boost for the Seawolves!! I hate to
see the guys go, but what an opportunity this could be.
