Thanks to the Great Coach Weber I've gotten a few glismpes of
practice. Man oh man I'm salivating.
Lattimer will be AE Rookie of the year. Book it now. He's big
time. Shoots it out to 26 feet effortlessly. He simply needs to
wake up everyday believing he's the baddest dude on Earth to
maximize his abilities,cause he has a boatload.
This team can be special.

Love it, GreatK. I sure hope you're right. Because of how early
they come out, these preseason magazines can't do too much of a
deep dive, but FWIW, Lindy's and Athlon each had us ranked
fourth in the preseason. I'll be interested to see how the AE
coaches vote.

I'd rather they sleep on us. Much less pressure when you're not
the infallible favorite. I imagine most of the hype will be
centered on Vermont and UMBC.

or even hartford right?
i am getting very excited. i like that latimer can be an
outside threat. i'd like it then if we can develop a second,
such that if he gets locked or faceguarded, we have options.
if teams do respect his perimeter shot, that is going to open up
a lot in the paint for yeb, ochefu, and otchere/christie.

Fordham Board is reporting a “secret scrimmage” with you guys
scheduled for Oct 20. Although in the A10 the Rams are far from
being a competitive A10 team. For that matter far from being a
competitive team for the last 30 years.

I wouldn't put too much stock into the Magazines rankings. They
pay very little attention to smaller leagues,do no research on
our recruits and can't guage off season Development.
In 2016, Tennessee had a NY kid named Kevin Punter(JUCO
transfer) who went from 10 PPG to 22 PPG JR to Sr year while
only playing 3 more minutes per game. Only one's who could
predict that drastic of improvement were the one's close to his
development.
We have the most talented Roster in the league, No question
about it.
I'm buying Yeboah as a perimeter threat. He shot 35% on 4.5
attempts per last season. He'll be at 38-39% on 5 attempts per
this season.
Olaniyi is true to his craft and should jump from 31% to 35% ,
he's shooting it way better and his work ethic is something we
all know about.(Media has no idea). Olaniyi looks like the type
of kid that makes that year to year jump I mentioned Kevin
Punter making.
If we have 3 guys shooting 35% or better from long range we'll
be respected behind the line.
Which like you guys said, will clear out space for the big
fellas to work down low but also it will create hard close outs
for dudes like Olaniyi,Cornish and Lattimer to boogie to the
basket in a straight line.

I'd like to believe this, but like others haven't seen us, we
haven't seen them. That said, between Latimer and Otchere, I
believe in this coaching staff's ability to recruit.
On top of the Fordham scrimmage, I think that the GW game is
very much winnable. They lost a ton.

I don't want to be the Bias guy in a message board with a
relationship to a player, so I don't say much about Big Jeff but
let me just say this please,
He's coming along nicely, has gotten up to 240 Pounds. Has
become more patient in the post, and more reliable, most of all
he's learning how to defend without fouling,positioning,angling.
With his God given gifts, simply doing things the right way is
the answer to his troubles. Still a LONGG way to go for him to
maximize his vast potential. He's covered a good amount of
ground through summer and fall. Credit to the Stony Brook
Coaching staff.

IM anxious to see him play this season. I think he only gets
better as he and the other new guys adjust to D1 play. As I
said many times this is a young team and as they gain experience
and hone their skills as a group they will improve immensely.

7.5 foot wingspan? should make for crowd pleasing blocks and
dunks
