graduating class. This team will have an entirely different
flavor next year anyway so I don't think we need to maintain too
much continuity. I appreciate what Jay Young has done as an
assistant but I'm in favor of going for a sexier hire. I'd be in
favor of plucking an assistant from a big program with a proven
recruiting record. Stony Brook is on the up and up- you have
fantastic facilities and a very dedicated fan base.

make the right move. I think we're a very appealing option for a
young coach looking to establish himself. Plus, Stony Brook is
such a great place to raise a young family. I'm excited for this
next step for Stony Brook athletics.

Agreed a 100%. I think the future will be brighter. I have faith
with our AD. Young might be a heavy choice right now because of
his tenure with Pikiell, but I think we need to make the next
leap forward. I want the big leagues, and want it now!!

As long as everyone keeps in mind this is the America East. At
best we may move to the CAA at some point in the future . The
ACC isn't calling yet . Very long way to go .

He was at his peak at SB. With Warney graduating, it was a good
time to go. This team won't be as good next year.
Better job, failing program, more money. Perfect timing and
perfect job for him. Best of luck to him.

You are probably going to see a few players leave or not show
up if they are freshmen. Could be even a weaker team next year
than expected.

I am afraid this could quite possibly be the case, Seawolf97..
This is going to be a very slow, and painful recovery for us.
Coach P leaves when his best player graduates. I think is
skelly. Sorry, but I do.. He leaves us with an empty tank!!

Can't blame Coach for taking that money- that's the type of deal
that will keep his family comfortable for the rest of their
lives.
Again, I want Shawn to make a measured decision. I know its
appealing to stick with the known commodity in Jay Young but it
would be silly to not test the waters and see what the interest
is out there. We won't poach an assistant from Kentucky or Duke,
but there isn't a laundry list of more appealing mid-majors.
Like I've said, we have great facilities, a very passionate
fanbase, and an appealing location.
If we lose some players to transfer, I understand and its part
of the process. However that's a cost I'd be more than willing
to make if it means finding the right coach who will help us be
competitive in the long run.

i could be wrong on this but i see that pikiell was getting just
over $300k. if the RU deal is 1.6 for 5 years, what raise
exactly is he getting? a guarantee? signing bonus /
performance bonus???
