2015-16 Stony Brook Basketball Season

Counting Lucas Woodhouse it looks like SBU will have three PGs
but no legitimate SGs going into the season-
1) Can either Kam Mitchell and/or Ryan Burnett step in as a
reliable scoring option(s) at the SG position?
2) Who will start at the point? (It's my understanding that
Woodhouse is a very efficient passer, which is precisely what
SBU needs, given IMHO its poor execution in the half court
offense last year).
3) Is it possible for the team to improve its overall FG %? If
you discount Warney's numbers last year, the rest of the team
shot 38% from the field. That would have ranked the team 340th
in DI.
4) Can we expect anything from Jacub Petras? It looks like he
has a nice shot from 10 feet and in, but he looked lost on
defense and seemed a step slow.
5) Is there a chance to land a recruit that could contribute
this season?

I don't know what the spring challenge is, but nonetheless to
hear that Kam had the top male score is surprising.

Has anyone seen these Longwood highlights from last year? Looks
more like Woodhouse's And1 mixtape.

Woodhouse's numbers for his last year at Longwood are promising-
41% from the field, 37% from three and 80% from the line with an
assist to TO ratio of better than 2:1. Combined with the
addition of Walker, the team's "non-Warney" FG% is bound to
improve a few notches in 2015.

I was at the baseball game this past Saturday and saw our
newest recruit Jonah the kid from England is already on campus.
He was decked out in everything red so glad he is on board. My
expectations are high for next season with our veterans and the
new faces including Walker we should be pretty good . I'm going
to the cocktail party at Danfords on the 19th to hear our 5
year plan for athletics . I'm curious about just everything
including scheduling for both hoops and football. I know they
wont divulge any major secrets so I expect we will be in the
CAA and the AE at least 5 more years . But future schedules
could be a hot topic.
For hoops I expect an AE Conference Title and a chance to dance
this team has to do it so how some way . No more bridesmaid
this time I want us to be the bride. Also any new or expanded
facilities could be a topic that night. Or maybe adding a new
team from the club ranks . Should be fun.

I'm trying to make plans to get to Danford's for the 19th. If I
can't make it, please report back let us know what they talk
about!
Is the English recruit's name Jonah? I thought it was Akwasi
Yeboah.

I will be at Danfords on the 19th, also. Curious to hear what
they have to say about the expansion and renovation of Lavalle
stadium and building of a practise facility. Where will the
money come from considering Cuomo took 22 Million away!!!

Hammer - don't be surprised if they ask you for a $22 million
donation on the 19th.
By the way, the AD had been here for almost a year - has he done
anything noteworthy during his time here?

Heilbron sold the naming rights to Stony Brook's arena for $7
million. That's two and half times more than what Albany got for
their arena in 2006. He got stadium expansion and the indoor
practice facility on the NYS spending bill. Yes it got vetoed,
but he obviously sold our senior administration and local
representatives on the idea. We don't know what donations to
athletics over the last year have been, but that's supposedly
his biggest strength. Our teams have had a disappointing year,
but these are all Fiore's coaches and Heilbron wasn't going to
have any effect on this years teams.
I'm pretty thrilled thus far.

Our new AD has added new corporate sponsors this season as
we saw at many ceremonies before home games this season. That
hopefully is solid money going forward. As I said I don't
expect any earth breaking announcements on the 19th something
they probably cant do anyway . I do hope we hear about new
facilities , tougher schedules and maybe a new team or two.
So far Im happy with our new AD's approach and performance . I
expect at some point to see new coaches being announced down
the road in a few years . Im really curious where their plan
takes us in 5 years.
