WOW.
Otchere transferring. Best of luck, Jeff. And to GreatK, thank
you for your candid insight.
What is happening???
I think we all were very excited when he came here, figuring he
was a game changer on the defensive end. And he was when he
could stay on the floor. We'd take what he could give us
offensively – the occasional putback and dunk – if he could
alter shots, and as frustrating as the foul trouble was for him
and us, he does have two first team All-Defensive honors and a
Defensive POY award to his credit. I hope he finds a good
landing spot. He's immediately eligible, so I could see an upper
tier team bringing him in for minutes off the bench.
Is that it, or will more players exit?

Was just about to post this too. This is crazy. Major loss of
minutes for him this year; has got to be the reason:

IMO, losing Otchere hurts a lot more than losing Latimer, even
though Jeff's playing time (17 MPG) was reduced severely with
the emergence of Mo. Chef is now going to have to step up big
time, and maybe this creates an avenue for Christie to now play
a role.
I'm going to bet that a bigger program is going to take a chance
with Jeff, given his length and DPOY resume.
Checkmate (or CoB), maybe we should close this thread now, to
stop the bleeding......

Not surprised. Maybe some of you people on this forum will
realize Geno Ford sucks as a head coach, and I've been saying
this for a while now!!. Garcia will probably be next

Reduction in playing minutes has got to be the common thread
with both Latimer and Otchere leaving. Didn’t even know that
Otchere qualified as a grad transfer, but I really hate the grad
transfer rule now. It’s small school bias.

more big news, wow.
i'd have to think this opens the door for the chef, no?
for whatever this is worth- that junior class just had too many
players.

(Christie, to play a role)? Now that is hitting rock bottom.
Chef doesnt have the BB IQ to be a starter. If Mo leaves then
there is a huge internal problem going on at Stony Brook.

Yeah, except your forgot Elijah. He's as good as coming back,
IMO.
Flight risks from here:
Garcia - Please don't go!!!!!!!
4man - doubtful, given his prominent role, but since Jeff did
the double transfer, we now know that he is certainly eligible)
TPP - my opinion only, based on his body language with Geno, but
also not likely with Latimer leaving)
Can't see Mac or Chef leaving at this point, but who knows at
this point.

A friend nicknamed Foreman "Chuck". I wish I had thought of
that.
Starting five is still formidable – TSM, Foreman, Policelli,
Garcia and Gueye right now. I fully expect Olaniyi to return so
he'd go in for TSM or Policelli ... although maybe they go back
in if Garcia goes. VERY thin after that. The exits are alarming,
but we'll bring in reinforcements – jucos or grad transfers of
our own.
