this past year was by committee except for maybe yeboah and then
late, ola.
i made an argument somewhere in feb that if we are going to do
this, leverage the depth. play fast paced. half court press.
run teams into the ground, create upsets, all while filling
seats.
but yes, you are correct.

even a thought of saving the one remaining scholly for next year
(that is unless a another commit comes in soon that just can't
be passed up).

I would assume Boals will be playing 10 again, like he did this
year. Not sure if Long or Garcia fit in his plans at all so
playing time might be limited for them or non-existant. Maybe
we'll see 1 or 2 redshirts. It's going to be a real young team,
so I can see minutes doled out in the low 20's for a bunch of
them, with Yeboah and Olayini getting more (if they can stay on
the court). Having more talent is a good problem, and you never
know where the injury bug may take you.

Exciting addition to the team. Can’t wait to see all the new
comers gel along with returners, as Boals continue to shape the
team.

As good as he is now he is still kind of a diamond in the
rough as was Warney when he first arrived . Develop him
especially on offense and you have true NBA prospect . Going to
be a quick fast moving game next year with him in the middle.

Seawolf Nation, I am Jeff Otchere's Mentor. This thread displays
how magnificent of a fanbase SB has. I'd like to let it be known
that assistant coach Bryan Weber is a recruiting ace. He did the
heavy lifting in the recruitment of Jeff along with Coach Boals.
You guys have a young gifted ambitious coach/recruiter in Weber.
Stony Brook was always intriguing to him for many reasons:
Location, Guys at his position graduating,young core, incoming
recruits, Boals experience with guys who ended up being Pro's
from his time at OSU,Boals player Freedom, Weber's likability,
and the strength and conditioning coaches results. Your Strength
coach is better than many high major strength coaches. Credit to
Boals for bringing him in.
Bigger schools/programs were attractive but level didn't matter
to him.
Stony Brook made more sense than the New Mexico State,
Washington State and Old Dominion's of the world. Though those
programs may have more "style points" next to their names. There
is nothing wrong with Blazing your own trail. Jeff's excited to
get to Campus and get to work. I am excited to see how special
the team will be.
I truly believe the pieces are intact to win an America East
title.
Reading through this thread I can tell these are some Miles
Lattimer skeptics. Let's get this straight, he's NO JOKE. I see
the best of the best prospects since I'm part of an EYBL
program and Miles doesn't look out of place among those types.
He's always been back up on teams with Blue chip recruits.
Lattimer isn't a steal. It's a Highway robbery. He's that good.
He's the AE rookie of the year in 2019.He's another recruit
Weber got in early on.
Yeboah will be an AE First- team guy and potential POY, Elijah
Olaniyi who is another recruit Bryan Weber did the heavy lifting
on, will be much better than he already is.His work ethic is off
the charts.He'll be an all Conference guy,no doubt about it.
I'm not low on McKenzie or Cornish. I'm Optimistic about both.
Anthony Ochefu showed flashes of what he can be this season,
with a year of experience under his belt now. Watch out!
Hassan Ceesay(Another Weber Recruit) is another steal if his
knee heals as expected. Being childhood friends with Olaniyi
makes his transition to college that much easier. Which is a
very undervalued variable.
These are the things Jeff and I saw that made SBU intriguing. He
felt he could fit right into what's already there along with
what's coming in and there is a serious chance to win the league
as early as next season.
The Seawolves will be Well coached
talented,big,long,athletic,skilled and balanced.

Great K, fantastic post. Thank you for the insight into the
recruiting process and your perspective on the program. I’m sure
there was a lot to consider, but now that a decision was made,
you all can exhale a little bit and look ahead to next fall. I
expect Jeff will find it to be the perfect place for him to
thrive, in the arena and the classroom. I’m so glad to hear that
he felt comfortable committing to this environment with these
people around him. That’s including us, the Seawolf yahoos who
are THRILLED to have him on board.

You hit it on the nail. His offensive game needs to be rounded
out. His physical gifts and rim protection will put him on the
radar. Him being in the back will allow the rest of the guys to
be more aggressive defensively on the perimeter, which will
result in a lot more transition scores. Will be exciting to
watch.

Yes, awesome post, theGreatK! Some great confirming info, and
some new stuff too for us. As a fan, don't see or hear much
about Mr. Weber's recruiting efforts and our strength coach, so
just great to hear that perspective from someone on the inside.
If we can stay healthy, some great years ahead of us, no doubt!
We'll see you down at the games, and on this wonderful
communication media! Congrats to you and Jeff!
