I don't know where to put this, but holy moly:
Jeffrey Bernstein
@Jeff__Bernstein
@RodgerWyland just reported on @WNYT, UAlbany junior guards Joe
Cremo and David Nichols plan to leave the program to pursue
playing at a higher level. Cremo�s release is expected to come
Monday. He has Power 5 interest.

An absolute stunner. And now Brown has to go out and pound the
pavement for a handful of players ... that�s if Brown even
stays. Where there�s smoke there�s fire. Something seems to be
up.
This (grad) transfer trend could drop a bomb just about
anywhere. Better hope we hold onto Akwasi. And Elijah. And
anyone for that matter.

Cremo was extremely agitated after the loss to us in the
quarters, and I remember seeing some of his post-game quotes as
being unflattering to their program. Maybe he blamed Brown for
the loss; maybe they didn�t get along. Personally, I don�t see
him thriving at all in a higher conference.
I was worried for a couple of years that Jameel and Carson would
bolt; but they never did. Akwasi could be a flight risk after
this coming year as a grad transfer or if he pulls a Nyama, but
those risks always exist. Winning can stem that tide and Coach
Boals needs to try to keep this young team together with the
same intensity he used to recruit them.
In any event this UA news is huge.
Between graduations and transfers, it�s looking more and more
like SBU and Hartford will be the teams to beat this upcoming
season,

wow... very surprised. I guess this is now the life of midmajor.
Need to win constantly to hold on to best players.

yesterday's news was two other UA players leaving. cochran and
conway.
that's four players in two days. usually by the end of the
third year, you're staying. especially if youre playing. maybe
something's up in the cap district???

Anytime a good player is graduating and has eligibility
remaining,more than likely they will transfer to a higher level
of play. It's common, just the nature of today's game. Hurts
Albany a lot of course but helps us.I don't see coach Brown
leaving Albany's program though. I'd only worry about Yeboah
wanting to transfer after his graduation or he could take the
Jarius Lyles route and stay for his grad year and carry his
squad to the Dance.

Unfortunate turn of events for U of Albany. They graduated their
primary front court guys and lose their primary back court guys
to the transfer market. This does play into our favor somewhat
though. So I'm not complaining &#128512;. Looking ahead and
worrying about losing Yeboah after he graduates is a legit
worry. But I say hey let's ball out next season. The AE is wide
open for the taking. Cross the Yeboah potentially transferring
bridge when we get there.

a week with no real explanation .

what i read was- cremo knew ahead of time that he wanted an
upgrade (presumably because he wants a tourney berth) so the
wheels were in motion for early graduation. also heard he didnt
like playing with nichols. also heard nichols was a locker room
cancer. also heard they are both looking power 5 which i think
is a stretch at best.
the other two (cochran and conway) i have no idea. but yes- 4
transfers in two days, two of which are the starting backcourt,
not good. also 14 transfers over the past few years. this is
the new normal, i know. but also im not surprised because brown
comes off like such a dick.
add to all that two graduation losses. not good for UA.
