2016 Recruiting

Never too early to think ahead!
Per VC we have already have 4 offers out:

We are going to need some PF/C that year since Warney would be
gone (already sad just thinking about it) and Sturdivant would
be the only big body left.
Great to see Pikiell and his people are already being active in
the recruiting front.

Like to see we are beating the bushe's. Interesting question
on who plays center for the opening tip this year? Maybe Warney
since he probably did played the position in high school .
Eric rarely missed a tip last season.

That thought did come to mind and the first person I thought of
was Scott King. King is 6'10" could probably jump very high
considering how lanky he is. I think Warney is to beefy to be
our tip off guy, but who know !!

Once Coach P. gets a calibration on Tyrell Sturdivant, it would
not surprise me in the least if he ends up as the tip-off guy.
He's not as beefy as Jameel, but quite athletic, from what I've
heard. If he lives up to his expectations, seeing him and
Jameel play in the front court together when SBU decides to play
big could be quite a treat. When they want to play smaller,
switch off Sturdivant with Nyama. Whaddya think????

SBUGOLD good deal. Eric was master on winning opening tips so
King or Sturdivant would work. Having him and Warney up front
at the same time would be huge both getting the ball from
Purifoy and Thrower inside.

I love local talent. Just look at the SB girls lacrosse team.
Just about every player on the team are from Long
Island..Michael Almonacy is a small guard, 6'0" 160 pounds.
Maybe coach P can start looking for some big, P/F kids. They're
out there , he just needs to convince them to play for Stony
brook!!!!!

This had been anticipated for quite awhile now. And, he looks
like he should be a good one!! He certainly comes with
excellent credentials, and should bring in some local fans to
the arena.

[/quote] I agree. i would still like to see coach P bring in a
Power forward to replace Warney.. This is our only issues on
offense at this time. Coach P apparently went heavy into a
shoring up the PG position
