I don't have any particular insight into how good (or not)
Rojaye Campbell is, but since SBU lost 6 2016 big men they
offered to other programs in the past several months, I'm very
interested to see how his season at LuHi goes this year. When I
looked at his stats they didn't seem all that impressive in any
category, especially for a 3-star recruit. So, before the
Seawolves get too dazzled by the 3-star rating, I hope they
consider some of the other candidates they've offered at other
court positions. Their are several pretty good ones that would
be good gets for next year.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not denying that we go after a really
good PF or C to fill the gap to be left by Warney, but I haven't
seen anyone nearly that good on SBU's horizon. It would be a
shame to go for a mediocre PF over a very good SF or G.
Besides, don't forget about the other Campbell (Alonzo, that
is)! Do we really know how good he might be? I'm sure he's
been hitting the weight room, and having a 7'0', 240 lb+big man
for the next 4 years doesn't sound that bad to me!! Maybe
Alonzo is better than Rojaye. I don't know, do you guys?

> Rojaye Campbell would be a good get out of LuHi. Big 6-foot-9
kid, three star kid per Rivals. According to a Hoop Group tweet
that Rojaye retweeted, he has received "offers from Towson,
Stony Brook, George Mason, Fairfield, Seton Hall, interest from
many high majors." Not a 25 a night type but would he's the kind
of size we'll need with Warney and McGrew gone.

Now this is exactly what coach P and staff needs to nail down
year after year. It's not an easy thing to do for a low mid
major school, but this will separate SB from the rest of the AE
if it happens.. Find another Warney and we are golden for 4 more
years!!!

Very true.. I really haven't seen Alonzo in practise shooting so
your guess is as good as mine..

Cheick Diallo played down the street last year! Damnit!
We definitely need size, and not somebody who's a plodder.
Petras fits that mold and Alonzo doesn't strike me as an
athletic big. Some athleticism at the 4/5 would be nice, and
we'd be putting a lot on faith in them and Tyrell holding down
the middle. I have only watched a few minutes of video of Rojaye
and nothing stood out as exceptional, aside from his size. His
stature suggests he can move around a bit but that's just on the
surface.
I wonder about the kid Jamel Allen, who is Almonacy's teammate
at Brentwood, is somebody that Pikiell's considering. He was AA
All-State First Team (Rojaye wasn't FWIW) and an athletic kid at
6-6/6-7. Rivals says there's interest.

I really like Jamel Allen. He looks like the type of undersized
big that thrives in the AE.

Maybe Diallo will want to come back home and play for SB next
season before becoming eligible for the NBA draft??? Not likely
but i can dream!!!!! This kid went to school 10 minutes from my
house at the "Our Savior church"..

Good find, SBU.
I've only watched about 10 minutes of game action and
Uniondale's drawn about 15 charges already.
I haven't seen Almonacy in person and only watched about a half;
maybe I'll catch the rest sometime this week. First impression:
There's some real good things there. It seems he got into the
lane at will and did a nice job finding open shooters. Pretty
shooting stroke. On the flipside, I'll bet if you asked him who
his favorite player was he'd say Steph Curry. Played like him;
that's not a compliment in this instance. A few looooong threes
(OK when they go in all the time), one-handed passes,
possessions off, and he was virtually invisible defensively. I
didn't like the intensity. Again, first impression, small sample
size, but a big spot for him you'd think and I didn't see the
gear I was looking for.

Essentially my impression as well. I think there might be some
growing pains as he learns how to play within Pikiell's system.
I still think Thrower can be a very solid AE pg. Between
Woodhouse and Thrower, we should be able to ease Almonacy into
things.

I did watch Alomancy play in person last week at Ward Melville
High School...Coach P and and a few Stony Brook Basketball
players were at the game watching...... My very first impression
is he's very small, barely 6'. He does have decent speed, not
fast like Purifoy and does a good job finding the open man in
the post. He is also a sharpshooter and was hitting 3s from NBA
range the entire game.. He is still raw when he drives to the
basket and on many occasions had the ball striped away.. I think
Coach P can groom him to be a very good PG in the AE.. He is no
a Stephen Curry so don't expect that style of playing from him
next season..

I agree with you on the growing pains with Pikiell style of
playing but also think Almonacy will fit right in with
practise.. I disagree with Thrower. He is a bench player and
should only be used in blowout games next season, if thats going
to happen again with Warney graduating.. Thrower looks lost and
confused out on the floor..
