I agree with your assessment. And to be politically correct,
they should all say nice things, to impress their next coach
with their character. Latimer's thanking of all except his
coaching staff was a mistake, and tells me something about the
kid, whether Geno treated him fairly or not. You never burn
britches when you're out the door.
I wish all these kids luck in their next venture (if there is
one). Garcia was clearly torn on being the peg that brought the
house down. He will be a bench player for any Power 5, and I
hope he doesn't regret his decision.
I also know Coronovirus keeping the team away from one another
was a factor, but at the end of the day, Geno and Heilbron have
to take some responsibility for not keeping this crew together
as well.
Time to turn the page with this team, and see what we can do
with a totally new roster. After all, we were 1-2 in the AE
playoffs the last 2 seasons, with all games at home. Clearly,
this roster had its chances and opportunities and clearly they
didn't deliver. So maybe with very low expectations this coming
season, we were spared another year of disappointment with the
old crew.
Speaking of new roster, looks like we added another athletic
wing:

i like sewell; i like him a lot- glides through the air, lots of
dunks, can penetrate from the wing. might like to see less play
with the free arm.
reminds me of brenton. confident in the paint/traffic.
note the very end you see him turn and baby hook.

LOL, CoB, no worries. I've gone from really really
disappointed 2 days ago -> to this is the world we live in
yesterday -> to analyzing the situation objectively today. I'm
ready to move on; expectations low, but excited to see what we
can do with a whole new roster. I mean, isn't that what
Hartford went through this past season?? Out with the old; in
with the new.

Never mind the scoring. Look at all those boards. In the last 10
games, he had 13, 13, 8, 15, 11, 15, 12, 10, 13 and 12. He had
at least four offensive boards in all but one of those games.
Per VC, he was mostly a D-II guy out of high school and I'm
skeptical of the defense being played (88 ppg?), but I'll take a
guy who's committed to hitting the boards. Looks pretty springy
too. Could be a crowd favorite.
Plus, I'm always in favor of MORE INITIALS GUYS. TSM, TPP, now
LES.
It's worth noting that we don't have anybody in our freshman
class right now, and just four offers out for the 2020 class. Go
get me Luis Kortright out of St. Raymond's or Ibrahim Wattara
from Mount St. Mike's. Or a high D-I bounceback kid. Anthony
Nelson from Seton Hall comes to mind – floor general, New York
City kid, high academics, just looking for somebody to give him
the keys. Unfortunately he would have to sit a year so, with two
already doing that, I'm thinking he's out.
Hartford is a great comparison for us right now. Ellison and
Carter weren't perfect players, but they both came in there and
ran with it, and I think they had a legitimate shot at taking
down Vermont.

I’ve had my own interactions with Latimer outside of basketball
and can confirm that the dude was really full of himself - I
understand athletes are naturally cocky due to their talent but
even compared to that he was something else. Not surprised that
he would purposefully leave out the coaches in his farewell.
On the surface this transfer’s numbers are great. Averaging a
double double, 63% shooting? Awesome. How will it translate to
the D1 level?

The SBU website still lists everyone on the roster. Does anyone
have an updated one that reflects where we are today? I've lost
track big time.
