       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.
