Carabiniere e più simile "national guard." "Gendarmerie" è una
parola francese, non?

i always thought they were more para-military, i dunno.
military with police powers. never fully understood it.
yes- they are french. i threw it in as an analogous (well,
hopefully analogous) outfit!

I’m a bit discouraged at the fact that he’s from Mount Saint
Mary’s as opposed to a bigger school... but then again Woodhouse
was from Longwood. Foreman from Chattanooga. Hardly eye-popping
names either.

I agree. I just dont see any superstars on this team this year.
If Olaniyi doesnt return back to SB this steam is going to be
average at best .A 500 team in the AE. and most likely a losing
record.

i know i pointed it out a few weeks back but we now have 9
athletes in this junior class. and no incoming freshmen.
then again, with the way transferring has picked up, who knows
what will happen before nov.

As I pointed out earlier in this thread, on average, 2/13
players will transfer from any given team each year. Knowing
this, teams may be focusing less on bringing in freshman and
just bringing in “free agents”; a total recruiting paradigm
shift. Just wait until they start paying college players.

understood but worst/best case scenario that leaves us with 7
departing seniors next year. not sure where a senior would
transfer to anyway.
that's half the team- possibly 9. yet, no incoming FR.

I actually prefer mid major transfers that have produced at the
D1 level to high major transfers that never saw the floor (See
Woodhouse, Foreman). Habwe's junior year stats took a step back,
but if he were transferring after is 9pt 5 reb per game
sophomore season it would look like a really good pick up. I
don't think he'll be an all conference player, but he's going to
get on the floor and contribute. We're better today than we were
yesterday. That's my view

Pretty interested in Rodriguez because I took this tweet to mean
Weber was gushing about him.

Weber has a pretty good track record with recruiting: Olaniyi,
Foreman, Latimer, Otchere, Mo, TSM, TPP, Chef, Mac as a guy
focused on recruiting at SBU. If he's excited about Rodriguez
and Habwe joining us, we certainly have to give him the benefit
of the doubt at this juncture. Of course, time will tell.
CoB, I'm not advocating this new paradigm shift, just
acknowledging it. No way anyone thought Hartford would make the
AE Finals after graduating 5 seniors. Gallagher went to the
well, and probably got pretty lucky, going free agent this past
year. If we need 9 guys next year, 5 transfers and 4 freshman
perhaps? You bring in freshmen this year, and have them sit,
you're basically running the risk of them transferring the next
year. Definitely a dilemma. Glad I'm not in Geno's shoes
trying to keep everyone happy, and simultaneously planning for
the future.
