I tend to agree with you, as well, ry1link. But, don't forget
that SBU is going to begin this season with 4 starters from last
year no longer on the roster. I think it's amazing for a sports
writer to pick them to reach the NCAA preseason based upon that
fact. To rank them above no. 100 without having seen how this
newly assembled team performs, would certainly have been going
out on a long limb.. If the new guys perform as their
capabilities indicate they might, I wouldn't be surprised if
they eventually reach that no. 75 ranking that you talk about
later this season.

Also two issues that have hurt recruiting was our gym and
our conference is not that well known. We played in the old
arena and then Pritchard which are tough sells for a high level
recruit add to that our conference vs say the A10 or above you
see the picture. I'm hoping the new venue brings in higher
recruits of A10 caliber players. We have been lucky landing
players like Brenton, Warney, and Puriefoy. If we can get a
couple of players at that caliber every season we will be ok.
And I agree we are an untested team this season , if we start
winning our national rank will rise.

Rumor has it that we tried to get St. Joe's to open the new gym
and they turned us down. For those of you thinking you might
have had a chance to see Phil Martelli walking the sidelines of
SBU Arena opening night I need to apologize. I meant the D3 St
Joe's of Patchogue. They turned us down though. :D :D :D :D

He dropped down to JC level... I guess no other NCAA div1 school
showed interest... I wonder now the reason for leaving SB was
solely on Academics and not a dispute between Pikiell and Walker
like some people were rumering..

I must admit I'm stumped here. I keep looking at this link, but
I don't see any reference to Ahmad Walker. Can you steer me in
the right direction? Where's the info that says Barton is where
he transferred?

Gotta be academics related- he's a solid basketball player and
absolutely had DI talent. Him going the JuCO (in Kansas
nonetheless) route just tells me that he wasn't going to qualify
at the DI level.
