Tyquan Scott (6-7/210) was a beast at Long Beach and is off to a
nice start at Herkimer. He was a high jumper in HS. No idea on
academics.

Even if it's not a knee, Pikiell likes to redshirt freshman when
he can (Walker, Nyama, Mitchell, Campbell, Yeboah etc). I think
it's a pretty safe bet we won't see Garcia play next year.

FYI, Garcia's HS coach says he has a microtear in his meniscus,
so the injury isn't long-term.

Just FYI for those interested in getting a look-see at Mike
Almonacy--SBU's top recruit for next season. He'll be playing
on SNY tonight when Brentwook plays Christ the King. Should be
a good game and a fair test for Almonacy.

That is one of the all-time awesome heads up right there!
Thanks sbugold!

Tuned in to see Almonacy play last night. Very disappointing.
I'm sure it was very atypical of his play and capabilities, and
he intimated as much in quotes in today's Newsday article. It's
evident he's a lot better than what he showed, but I'm guessing
he may need a redshirt year and some weight training before he's
ready for the next level.

Looked the same last night as he did against Uniondale – just
awful. What's funny is I had said before that I'd bet he
idolizes Steph Curry. Seemed so obvious Almonacy (ill-advisedly)
models his game after him (he's not Curry; only Curry's Curry).
Then I check out Almonacy's Twitter feed and it's all Curry!
When Almonacy stops acting like he's the best player on the
floor, he'll be the best player on the floor.

I agree. I was disappointed with Almoncany performance as well.
He will need to be redshirted before he's ready to play div1
college ball.. The announcer also said Alomanacy could have gone
higher than SB and should have waited for higher offers before
signing. I'm not so sure about that!!!!

I think Almonacy should redshirt too- he's got a lot of
developing yet to do. We don't need him next year, he's gotta
bulk up and work on maturing his game. He hasn't performed up to
expectations in these games against higher level talent. He's
not a plug and play prospect in my opinion but has solid tools.
However, its still a long time between now and next year so
we'll see how he develops.

The main thing he needs to work on his effort. I saw a player
that was lazy on both ends of the floor and fragile both
physically and mentally.

I DVR'd the Brentwood/Mount Vernon game but haven't watched it
yet. Brentwood won it, 72-67, after trailing by nine at the
half. Almonacy had 15 and 7 according to Newsday. Jamel Allen
led the way with 21 points, 17 boards and five assists (although
the Lo-Hud reporter had him with only 11 boards).

It's been pretty quiet on regarding the last available. I'm
hoping Pikiell can parlay the recent success and receiving votes
in the AP poll into recruiting coup in the spring.
