> It’s a sad end to Ty’s career. He was a nice reserve his first
two years and, while he had some head scratchers, he still
played an important role in our success as a junior. This year,
it seems as though Boals has seen enough of him - nothing
inside, too many turnovers, not enough on defense, poor shot
selection a lot of the time. Tonight, 6 minutes, 3 fouls (1 a
weak tech) and almost no contributions. Saintel had a nice first
half, but the four other seniors combined for 5 points.

I agree. Seems like a nice kid, but since his surge in the 1st
half of last season, it's been straight downhill for him. Poor
basketball IQ and athleticism just not showing up. 'Tis a shame.
Although Olaniyi makes a lot of freshmen mistakes, he shows lots
of potential and he and Yeboah will be the core of the team next
year. Point guard worries me tremendously. Cornish, who has
abundant energy and athleticism, is just plain out of control
too much, and that is a position that requires discipline as the
quarterback of the team. On the other hand, as I watch McKenzie
closely, he lacks athleticism, and is downright slow - certainly
more in control than Cornish, but can't see him being the
starting PG moving forward. For whatever reason, Almonacy has
fallen out of favor, and he'll probably wind up transferring I'd
imagine, if he's looking to continue his playing. Personally,
I'd play Almonacy now over McKenzie.
Saintel played a really good game last night - tremendously
athletic, just needs to finish better around the rim generally.
That steal and dunk last night was the highlight of the game.
Also, Chef did some good things early in the game last night.
He's raw, but I definitely see potential there.

I agree on all fronts Oldseawolf. Especially with Almonancy.
Big mistake not playing a local product. Coach Boals has a lot
to learn. I personally think coach B is NOT a HC but more of an
assisstant.

I'll reserve judgment on Boals for now. Not saying I completely
disagree with you, but he deserves a longer leash. He did a nice
job with last year's team.
On your other point, I'd have to think that very few are
clamoring for more Almonacy. Granted, I'm surprised he's been
DNP'd entirely, but I think that's mostly on merit. He has
looked disinterested; maybe that's just on the outside. I could
see him getting some bit time, but that Iroegbu has played the
point when Mac and Cornish have been in foul trouble speaks
volumes about how far Almonacy has fallen ... assuming he's not
injured of course.
And if you have a problem with them not playing him simply
because he's local, then you should take a close look at the
recruits on our radar. Nobody's local. Problem with that or no?
I do not because the Long Island hoops landscape is pretty
barren in general. Let's get the best guys we can, regardless of
their place of origin.

Checkmate. Coach Boals absolutey should be playing Almonacy over
Cornish or McKenzie. Boals wont because he didnt recruit
Almonacy . Coach P was widely liked and popular on long Island
because he did have a couple of local products from L I on his
team. Woodhouse had a nice following when he was here, so does
Almonacy ..
Last year team was not his team. It was still Pikiell so, I give
Boals very little credit for their season.
I have to give coach Boals one more season as well before I make
a final judgement call on him, but from what I am seeing of his
play calling and use of timeouts, he is as green as they come..

Savion Lewis, PG,is the best player on Long Island and is
averaging 33 points per game for Half Hollow Hills .He has no
offers from Stony Brook. Now could that be because of his
grades? Possible.. Maybe someone with some info can tell me if
this is the case or not.. HH plays Ward Melville next week in
the 2nd round of the playoffs..

He committed to Quinnipiac a couple months ago.
