I don't remember that game in '09 at all. I remember the home
game vs. St. Johns in circa 1998 or 1999. I think we were in
the last season of D2, with Bernard Tomlin still the coach.
Josh Little went off in the first half, and I think we actually
had a lead late into the 1st half. The place was going nuts -
total sellout. I think we wound up losing the game by about 40
points......LOL. I may be wrong, but I think Ron Artest (Meta
World Peace) was with St. John's then. Played in the current
unfurbished gym.

I have seen nothing from Christie that shows me he's worthy of a
D1 scholarship at that position and I doubt I ever will. I hope
I eat my words, but I doubt it.

Christie is not a D1 player, we all know that and that's fine.
Coaches make mistakes when offering kids scholarships. The
bigger question should be. Does that school continue his
scholarship and tie up a roster position. To me, that is hurtful
to the rest of the team and quite frankly, throwing money away.

Don't be so quick to give up on Christie! Remember Petras? He
was an abomination his 1st 2 years, and by his Senior year, he
was a serviceable big man. Also, with Otchere and Ochefu
transferred out, we're suddenly a very small team. With Mo
being a wing and not a 5, and his propensity to get into foul
trouble through aggressive play, we need some backup depth, IMO.
Habwe will also probably help fill that void.

An interesting get with Greene. I wonder how much getting out of
the Masiello system and into a more fluid offense will help him.
He came into our game with Manhattan as their leading scorer and
didn't make a huge impression thank in part to our on-ball
defense. It's also hard to like the way Manhattan plays. Always
ugly. And I feel like they can never shoot.
His shooting numbers do leave something to be desired. Just 26
percent from deep in conference play.
HS guys playing together in college isn't completely new, but it
feels like it's ramping up even more, and may spike with COVID
concerns. And with three LuHi guys in uniform, I wonder if down
the road we have a shot at a high D-I kickback like Curbelo, Key
or Celestine. I'm guessing no on the first two in particular but
maybe it's possible?

Looks like we’re seriously decapitated now for the upcoming
season. 4 of 5 starters from last year biting the dust. Sorry to
be the bearer of bad news:

So, unless Geno is scaring kids away, my educated guess is this
is what's happening with Olaniyi and Garcia: With a (good)
chance that the upcoming NCAA basketball season may not be
happening, Olaniyi is probably looking out for himself and
forgoing his senior year to turn pro and play somewhere overseas
(NBA ain't happening). With Olaniyi leaving, Garcia is probably
weighing options to also turn pro, or use transferring to be a
bench player on a higher-caliber team (Rutgers maybe poaching
again here?) to enhance his resume should there be a season,
with an eye to turning pro the following year.
Anyone have a different theory?
