It's ALL about playing time. If he can be "guaranteed" to play
a lot in the bigger conferences, we don't have a shot.
Proximity probably will play a secondary role in his decision.
Time for Coach Boals to trap and put on the full court press.

COB brilliant idea ! If all these teams have a full
scholarship rosters already at best he would be a walk on and
not interested. I think Boals can guarantee him playing time
easily since we have no experienced bigs . Lets see what
develop just as long as he doesn't turn into a dud when he gets
here.

From what I can tell, he does have the ability to be a decent
scorer, but his real strength is on defense--he's a monster shot
blocker and excellent rebounder. His worst trait--wait for
it--he's an absolute abysmal free throw shooter. Therefore, he
certainly would fit in well with Seawolves history.

I'd pay less attention to Scholarship availability and look more
at the depth at position. Guys like him a coach clears space
for. Also coaches anticipate transfers yearly.
None the less judging by the list of 5 and the quotes he gave in
that Zagsblog article about "playing time and development" I
like the Seawolves chances.
I'm already imagining McKenzie being with the steady hand in
pick and roll with Otchere.

With all due respect Warney wasn't much in his first year
either certainly not NBA caliber for sure. . He developed over
time , lost weight improved his shooting and the rest is history
. I just hope this kid shows up . Feed him under the basket, let
him rebound and block shots just intimidate everyone.

Just catching up on this. Great news and great timing with
respect to Warney's call up. Stony Brook may be a mid-major but
you can still get the NBA from here.

It's unlikely but not impossible to see us vying for a Pitt
transfer. Nine of them have asked for their release.
