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.

Garcia news:

I don't know what to make of this at all. Is it because of the
weird season we're about to have, or because of Geno?
I'd think, honestly, because everything is up in the air, that
as a player, you'd want to keep things as normal as possible,
and know that when (or if) the season begins, you're going to be
a main focal point, instead of jumping blindly into a system you
know nothing about.

We're in the wild west of college sports right now, where "free
agency" rules, and everyone is out for themselves. No
allegiance any more to schools; players looking out for
themselves. And this NCAA grad transfer system plays right into
that hand. Throw this unexpected Coronavirus monkey wrench into
the equation, and all bets are off. Put yourself in Olaniyi's
shoes - he knows he's not getting drafted in the NBA, he's
coming off a 1st team year, and if he decides to come back to
SBU and the season doesn't materialize, he's flushing a year
down the drain. Only way he can grad transfer is if he
graduated in 3 years. He's probably said I can't depend on this
upcoming season being a reality and he'll play somewhere in
Europe this coming year. Garcia hears this, and along with the
other SBU defections realizes that SBU won't have the expected
stellar season, and he decides to enter transfer portal late to
increase his professional aspirations and marketability. If the
season doesn't happen, he can turn pro too maybe, although he's
not as marketable professionally as Olaniyi, IMO. It all sucks
for us fans, but this is now the reality we live in. Foreman
may be the next to defect now, although his marketability to
move up to a better program is probably limited.

This just shows how detrimental being in the America East is.
The school CANNOT accept this conference. This is a wake up
call.

With looming NYS budget cuts, and Coronovirus about to having a
major detrimental effect on college athletics at large, now is
not the time to even think about moving to another conference in
the near term. Looking at the big picture, we'll be lucky at
best IMO, to retain the current portfolio of athletics teams
that we have. I do agree with your underlying message though
that success at the AE level definitely lends itself to this
transfer phenomenon.

This coronavirus is really going to postpone our plans and I’m
so angry at that. But if New York State didn’t screw us over
from day one we’d already be past this. Ugh.
I’m just really, really frustrated right now. Really angry. This
is the school I go to. One in the ‘America East’ conference.
That can’t even keep its star players from jumping ship. This
was supposed to be our year. And everything just wants to stop
us from happening and going back to the tournament. I’m so
frustrated.

I agree 1000000% the lower mid-major conferences will feel it
the most. Stony Brook athletics will be in big trouble when all
said and done. Cuomo is a pig and is ruining NYS, and all SUNY
schools.
