Players showed up one of the players was Anthony Catapano a 6'2
280 OL from Carey HS who happens to be from the same HS that
gave SBU Mike Lisi and he gave a verbal commitment.

big OL guys!

Any chance he's related to Ray Catapano who won the thorpe award
at Carey a couple years back?

I know some of you get frustrated with the SBU Program however
they are going in the right direction as they currently have
between freshmen and redshirt freshmen over 40 players plus a
good sized sophomore class with the 2 commitments they have
already there are at least 5 others I know of that should come
on board by the end of December and they are pushing hard on
many others. Also I expect at least another 12 Long Island
players will be part of the 2016 class
Coach Priore is the right Coach for this program at this time
and he may tweak his coaching staff but don't expect household
changes. Joey Carbone is only a redshirt freshman however the
staff believes he will develop into a solid QB. Ben Holmes is
from upstate NY and I spoke to a reporter that covered him in HS
and he expects him to be a big time FCS QB. Also expect SBU to
bring in another QB recruit for next year.
SBU by the way is ranked 39th in the FCS the last time I looked

With all do respect Campi I strongly disagree with your
assessment. I don't think coach P is the right coach for this
program anymore. He did a great job moving us from Div3 to Div1
but now he stalled. I have no disrespect for the coach I just
feel he has reached his max ability to take this program to the
next level. What I mean by "next level" I mean deep into the
playoffs and beyond. SB Football is not the only team with
Freshman starting, many other teams are in the same position. It
comes down to recruiting high talent Athletes out of high school
and NOT kids who are a work in progress with high intentions
they will improve down the road. Top Athletes want to play for a
team with a respected head coach who they can look up to and not
feel uncomfortable with and who has a track record of taking his
team to multiple playoffs year after year.. I have been
following SB football for many years and his style of football
has not changed even though we moved a couple of times up in
conference. It is my understanding and observation, Coach P has
a history of taking total control of the offense and not
allowing his coaches to make adjustment when needed. This is not
acceptable, he needs to adjust and change on the dime when
opposing teams figure out our game plan. Many fans i talk to
feel the same way. I can go on and on but why bother. As of now
I have faith with our new AD and think he will do the right
thing with taking us to the next level. So far, he is living up
to his expectations!

Unfortunately, I don't think Priore is the man to take us to the
next level. He did a very good job getting us to where we are.
But it is becoming painfully obvious that he is not cut out for
this level of competition.
If he is a quality recruiter, then he has players who are
talented enough to play at this level. If you have CAA-level
players, but can't win in the CAA, then you need a better coach.
If he's a quality coach who is capable of coaching at this
level, then he should be winning games. If he can't win games
because the players he has aren't CAA-caliber, then that is on
him as a recruiter, and also his fault. Since leaving the Big
South, we've gone 5-6, 5-7, and are well on our way to 2-9, so
something is wrong. In my opinion, he's failing at both aspects
right now.
As a recruiter, he's relying WAY too heavily on transfers. This
creates a lack of leadership on the team. Our two captains,
prior to this season, played a total of 28 games for SBU in
their career. How can you expect them to lead a team when
they've barely been on the team themselves? Plus, good luck
developing chemistry. If you can recruit kids (or if you
transfer them in, you do it early, not one-year rentals),
actually play them. The kids he has brought in, since they
never see the field (always getting replaced by transfers), look
awful as they haven't played a snap since high-school. That's a
recipe for failure (see our current situation at WR, RB, TE).
As a coach, he's been failing horribly. Can't seem to adjust to
teams that can stop the run, doesn't have a "plan B", can't seem
to run a 2-minute offense or find a big-play threat, tons of
penalties, poor special teams, etc. And these problems have
been getting worse over the past three years.
I'd love to be wrong, but we just got hammered by Elon (who has
only won 8 games in the past four years...), and it doesn't look
like we're going to win again this season.

Are the current players being utalized in the right position;
you have a good TE playing OT You have several WR that cannot
get separation & average speed & drop way to many
balls.....Connor has the better arm in the pocket; install TE
for blocking & use them in the short game more.
What the hell happen to using the FB in the back field
I am very concerned about the technique on the D side pass
coverage (very poor) Elon only scored 1 touchdown all season
throwing the ball & they scored 2 today on SBU.
Why is a redshirt freshman your starting QB; if you watch the
game he is not ready...give Connor the ball & let the kid finish
the season out.
I do agreee about the style of coaching & it has to change; if
he can adapt to the CAA great. At this time there is nothing
that show me they can do this; the coach is set in his ways & it
is very clear in the play calling. I do not like the blocking
sceam on the OL....when SBU pulls the OT to 2 hole we counter
run to his side & we are stuffed on the line or lose 2 yards
every time (but we keep running it)....WHY
Please do not put everything on your running game; when you only
have a 3rd string back.... You need to make adjustments in your
game plan & that did not happen. At this point the running game
is not going to win you games this year; to many injuries in the
back field. Install FB for blocking or power running Chris is a
very strong kid.
Some one please tell me why are the WR running 3rd down routes 3
yards short of the 1st down; this happen again today several
times. I hope this is not the 1st read for the QB.
When we went to a double TE set & move the ball 80 yards & put 7
on the board; why go away from something that works. I put a lot
on poor play calling & not putting players in the right position
to win....Coaching... Coaching..
i do agree we need to review the current talent being brought
into the program.....SBU will not have a winning program if you
think all the talent is going to come from the Island area...
When SBU recruited heavy in the Mid Atlantic, Texas, Florida,
California & PA regions SBU started a winning
tradition.....these areas are hot beds for talent....the staff
needs to do a better job in reviewing talent.....
When you have one of the senior D captain on the team walk away
from the program due to lack of confidence in the program that
says it all.....
I am deeply concerned; if your not then you need to open up your
eyes & clear your vision.
Today was my breaking point' & you could see it also in the
players today when the walk off the field...
I give #62 the man up award; this kid has played w pain every
game this year........they play the game for the love of it;
please support them through this tough time.....
I am sorry if i sound real negative; but the game plan you see
on the field is not working & I have seen no adjustments to date
this year & these issues were present last year.
I scratch my head & say is it the players or the game plan that
the coaches have installed with the talent we have on the
field....... I do not like kicking some one when they are down;
but these dogs need to learn new tricks.
