Greene will prob need to sit a year unless he gets a waiver.
Olaniyi gone. 2 roster spots open now.

I just don't see how guys can look at the year Yeboah had at
Rutgers and not want a similar experience for themselves. I was
stunned when GreatK said that Garcia wanted to stay – the allure
is just too strong. And now Elijah, geez.
I hope this is more a sign of the times than a sign of the
current culture at SBU.

If this really is the sign of the times then mid major
conferences are done. Just close down and forget about
Basketball. I think what is going in right now is more than
that. I knew Elijah was going to leave..

It’s absolutely criminal that New York has no public Power 5
schools... but that’s a rant for another time.
Elijah wiped his Instagram clean. Should have known by the way
that they were all celebratory of Yeboah’s accomplishments at
Rutgers.
I don’t know how you fix this issue without moving out of the
doldrums of the America East. It’s a miracle Jameel didn’t leave
now.

Garcia is no Yeboah. Although different types of players,
Olaniyi is not of the same caliber as Yeboah either, IMO.
Olaniyi’s decision is purely one of economics I’m guessing. He’d
rather play in Europe now rather than risk sticking around for a
potential non-season, and lose a season to inactivity. I’m sure
he’s not graduating in 3 years and grad transferring. With
Garcia, I’m willing to bet that Pikiell poached him. On that
loaded Rutgers team, he’ll come off the bench for 10-12 mins per
game, no more. He won’t get any decent minutes anywhere above
the A10 level imo. I hope he doesn’t wind up regretting the lure
of Yeboah’s move. He’d be a first-teamer this year in the AE,
and that might be better for his resume than bench minutes in a
higher profile program.

We could sit here and ponder all day long why Stony brook
basketball lost most of it's team recently, and blame the
outside forces. Athletes come to get an education and o yeah,
play basketball for free. Last I checked stony brook academics
is pretty good and you will go places in this world with this
diploma. What I don't get is how a few people on this forum
thinks athletes are leaving for different reasons besides a
coaching problem. Clearly, something is going on behind closed
doors, and athletes are seeing it. Coach Ford will turn out to
be the worst BB coach this university has ever seen. Kids are
leaving in droves because off Geno Ford. What is there not to
see?? Dont blame the economy. Dont blame the NCAA blame the
athletics dept for allowing this to happen. This crap didn't
happen when Pikiell case here.

Hammer, I respect your opinion, and perhaps there is some
underlying coach stuff going on; I dunno. This grad transfer
fad is a recent phenomenon - not saying that it didn't exist,
but it is being used way, way more than just a few years ago.
It's a trend that I wish didn't exist. And if we in fact see a
resurgence of the virus this fall, there's no denying that the
college athletics landscape will never ever be the same. Bottom
line though, the kids have to do what they think is best for
them. The lure of the big programs and ultimate $ is wooing a
lot of these kids. To me, it's a false lure in many cases.

I think Green and Habwe are both sitting out for a year. I also
think SB has two more scholarships to offer.
Great opportunity for TPP and TSM to step up, as for now likely
now both are starters.
