What I am about to say will get a ton of comments, But. Yeboah
is better than Warney. Yeboah can defend, drive to the basket,
hit the 3 ball and make free throws.4
Warney was able to defend, drive to the basket, but could not
shoot the 3 ball and was 55% at the FT line.
All in all. Yeboah is a better Basketball player than Warney was
as a Junior.

Different players, different talents. Warney was an
offensive/defensive force on the inside. Yeboah much better
distance shooter. Warney is a G League star. I love Yeboah,
but predict that he will play high European league next year.
Prove me wrong Akwasi!

"predict that he will play high European league next year." And
the European league is will Warney will probably land after this
year. He's not NBA talent. If he was the Mavericks would have
kept him longer than 10 days last year..

I agree with Hammertime, Yeboah is a better all around player
and will have a better shot of making the NBA due to his ability
to switch on defense and shoot the ball.
Warney was a force inside but couldn't switch out on pick and
roll against great guards and succeed, nor shoot the ball with
range. He was low post monster offensively and defensively but
that's only one spot on the floor. Yeboah is all over the floor.
I think we all agree that Boals is the better coach, but when it
comes to recruiting i'd say it's a toss up right now.
Warney was a huge getting from a rating standpoint he was a top
25 PF in HS ball according to ESPN and once was ranked as a top
100 recruit in the nation by them but questions about his motor
dropped his stock. Ratings aren't everything, his production
backed up his rating though. Also Yeboah is Pikeill's guy. So
two of the best most recent recruits were landed by the former
coach, also I tip my hat to a guy that builds a program
literally from scratch.
Boals is coming out with his guns blazing and landing studs
collectively and has hired the right assistants. They have a
presence in NYC and in the New England Prep school world and
also outside of our local cold weather areas.Lattimer should of
been rated a lot higher in HS. Playing for Paul VI in HS and
Team Takeover in AAU hid how good he was but also sharpened his
game and grit at the same time. Latimer may end up better than
every SBU Player ever in the end. He's more skilled than
everyone. Olaniyi will contend for player of the year before his
career is done and Big Jeff will win DPOY every year he's there
and if he can stay on the floor it's no telling what he'll be
doing next season. With all that being said Boals has some
really nice recruits under his belt who have all made impact
from day 1. We have to let those guys play a few more seasons to
really have a grasp on their impact here.

If Yeboah is better than Warney, and the entire rest of the team
around Yeboah is better than the team around Warney (This isn't
up for debate. Nothing against those other guys, but we've never
had depth like this), I expect to win the AE both remaining
years with Yeboah, make the NCAA Tournament, and win at least
one game once there. They're not going to disrespect the AE
champ again after what UMBC did. Them as a 16 was a joke, the AE
champ is usually a 13 or 14.
Just have to get through Anthony Lamb at Vermont first.

i like two things here-
one is that we are able to have a reasonable, civil discussion
in an age of internet flaming...
and secondly, the fact that i had assumed warney would be our
best ever player and within a few years, it's already in
question.

I feel like comparing Warney and Yeboah is like comparing a
running back and a wide receiver. two different positions but
both are awesome. Warney has a ton of heart and that drive is
making him a better player everyday. If Yeboah can pick up
something from Warney going to NBA is Warney is noticeably
stronger now. Yeboah needs to get a little stronger up top to
catch up to his lower body. Yeboah is fearless and a clutch
shooter, maybe he makes it as a small forward in NBA.
Knicks can use him right now lol
