       sessoms news is big.  he's a player.  perhaps too small to make
       a jump to a major conference, but nevertheless can play
       somewhere.

       outcome.  The league is in no way better now than it was during
       the Pikiell years.  If you are going to tell me that the new SBU
       identity is going to be chucking 3's I will tell you that the
       days of us being number 2 or higher in the league 9 of 11 years
       and 5 finals appearances are over.

       It's hard to get too excited over the whole team coming back
       when you consider how many needs this team has, including but
       not limited to:
       1. A 2 guard that can provide any consistent level of offense. I
       thought Latimer was going to take a big step forward this year,
       but maybe next year.
       2. Anyone that can score in the post.
       3. A PG that can distribute the ball and set the offense. (Maybe
       getting a PG would also solve problem 1 because you could move
       Foreman to the 2.)
       Otherwise, SB's ceiling will continue to be battling for second
       in the conference and early exits in the conference tournament.

       id be surprised if they all come back.
       for a ball distributor, what exactly do we need- a new
       woodhouse?  can an existing player be trained?
       same for post play- we have 4 giant bodies- can't one post up???
       learn how?
       we add pollicelli- anyone else signed yet???  plenty of open
       offers, not sure of the timeline.

       Chairman. SB needs a coach who knows how to mold the existing
       players. Geno Ford has proved to us he cant improve his team
       abilities to be better players.  Ball distribution is horrible.
       nobody on this team can shoot a 3 ball with any consistances.
       The list goes on and on. Ford must go!!

       Around the AE/country thread would do. That's a dagger for BU.
       No conference tournament and then this? I wonder what's up over
       there.

       Sessoms carried the whole BU program for the past two seasons
       and was one of the best players in the league while doing so. If
       there's one thing Yeboah proved this year, it's that you can
       move from the AE into a high major conference and do just fine
       if you're a great player. Curious to see where he lands. Glad we
       won't have to deal with him anymore lol.
