       Spotted: Andrew Garcia walking gingerly with a big brace on his
       left knee and one crutch in hand.

       OH NO!!  What a shame!  I expected this to finally be his
       breakout year, especially as hard as he has worked in the gym
       for his recovery.  Is this the same knee as his ACL?  Did it
       look like a knee or ankle?

       I have no idea what the scale of the injury is but it was a
       sizable brace – definitely his knee, not his ankle. And it was
       his RIGHT knee that kept him out of action before. I'm hoping
       it's something minor.
       Where's Newsday when you need them? Would the Lexington Herald
       Leader cover an injury like this at UK?

       Just got some info that Garcia's injury wasn't as serious as it
       may have looked, and it was to the other knee (i.e. not the one
       with the ACL tear).  Word is that he will be in practice
       sessions and that Coach B. is anticipating that he will be a
       major contributor this season.  Can anyone confirm?

       For whatever it's worth, I saw him at halftime during the last
       football game walking around, joking, and he looked fine to me
       with no sign of a brace or other noticeable limp/injury.

       FWIW, College Sports Madness came out with previews on teams in
       its Top 144. Vermont came in at #106 and is the predicted AE
       representative in the NCAA Tournament, while Hartford was ranked
       #134.
       I'm not a big CSM guy – my impression is it's just a bunch of
       kids making peanuts, if anything, to add a line on their resumes
       and some clips to their portfolio. There's not a lot of meat to
       these. But nevertheless, it whets the appetite for college hoops
       talk a bit.

       Our team is young and we are adding 5 new faces  that weren't
       here last year. So if Boals  can get them organized and playing
       on the same page we could be very good going down the stretch in
       February . This is probably the biggest team we ever had for
       sure.  Next season  we could be very good off eh boards and
       shooting .

       I'm fine with everyone sleeping on Stony Brook this year.
       Call me an optimist, but I see a very young team that's a year
       older than last year's, except with high-level recruits that
       fill in the gaps from what we were missing. I see two bonafide
       America East stars in Yeboah and Olaniyi, and two recruits in
       Latimer and Otchere that can get there. I see a deep bench with
       interchangeable parts. I see a coach that I'd pick over anyone
       in the league (maybe outside of Will Brown). And I see an
       expectation of winning that was set by previous Seawolves teams
       that has been passed down into the lifeblood of this younger
       group.
       So go ahead with all the Vermont and Hartford love. They deserve
       it too.
       We'll just be sitting here in the bushes, waiting for our turn
       to strike.

       I expect us in the Top3 of the AE  even with the newbies.   Two
       good but not overwhelming games in George Washington and South
       Carolina to open with . We could get a split right off the bat
       in November.
