I'm not saying that this kid (Campbell) isn't good. He
certainly is well touted in some of the press I've seen
(couldn't find any video). However, he sounds like the
definition of a "project", after missing his entire senior year
due to injury and weighing only 205 lbs. at 6'11" (big time
weight room candidate). So, I can't imagine that he would log
any minutes this coming season. I also notice that, at least
from what I can tell, he didn't get an offer from SBU (only
interest).
The candidate from Ohio I would hope the Seawolves are able to
get is '16 PF/C Darius Harper. The offer has been in for some
time, and they may have a reasonable shot. I think he could
really be a good one!!
So, that said, I'm left with my original question: What is Plan
B for immediate impact scholarships for the coming season?

I think the immediate impact player for next year is Woodhouse.
I know I tend to be a bit too optimistic, I really like next
year team as is. I'd like the focus needs to be on replacing
Warney, Puriefoy, and McGrew in 16-17

Woodhouse will be a nice addition but we need depth. If we have
three scholarships I would look for two of them filled with
impact players and then a work in progress. One or two injuries
would really hurt next year if we don't have a good depth .
Its a long season and anything can happen so give me two really
good players that can start if needed and then a project for the
future. Also our rookies from this year need to improve and
become consistent every game.

Unfortunately Coach P has not been able to bring in many
recruits that have provided much of an impact their first year.
This year, it will be even harder as the three spots did not
open up until after the season ended.
I think it's reasonable to expect improvement from Thrower,
McGrew, Nyama and Mitchell. If Warney can improve his mid-range
game (and free throws), as good as he is he may end up being the
most improved player on the team.

Whaddya think--should the Seawolves make a run at this guy?
Seems like there may be some untapped potential there, and if he
truly is a "sharpshooter" as the article intimates, he could be
an excellent boost to the now reduced cadre of guards.

Normally I would agree, Hammer, but the article states
"...Stewart is now going to look for a lower level school that
can offer him a scholarship and more playing time". I thought
that might signify an outside chance. And, since at the current
time he is located practically around the corner (i.e. in
Queens), it seems worth a shot to take a look-see and have a
chat, don't you think?

He was a walk on at St. John's, so I would like our chances, but
I think we could get someone with a little more pedigree. Also,
in the transfer game, I'd rather a guy like Woodhouse who
produced at a midmajor, than a guy like Stewart who hardly
played in a major conference.

It's all up to our coaching staff now. If they have no interest
in Stewart no sense talking about it. But this coaching staff
rarely ever talk about pending scholarships and transfers
beforehand!! So we're always left in the dark!!!!
