regular time, and while we saw glimpses, we didn’t see enough of
it, and both Boals and Ford were reluctant to give him a heavy
workload, even when we haven’t exactly been blessed with quality
options underneath, particularly offensively. Maybe he lands at
a good D-II close to home (West Chester?) and plays a ton of
minutes.

Yeah, just saw this. Agree, we saw glimpses, but he lacked
consistency, although in his defense, hard to achieve that with
scant minutes. He's gotta be going D-II/D-III, since he only
has 1 year of eligibility left, I would think. This should
definitely give Habwe a huge opportunity. I wish The Chef the
best of luck; seems like a real good kid, who always had a
positive attitude.
Suddenly, with the departure of Jeff and The Chef, we are
looking like a much smaller team.

its at the point now where when we land a recruit, the rule (not
the exception) is that they won't make it 4 years.

slash: olaniyi, gueye, garcia, kadisha, alleyne, habwe
bigs: christie, policelli, sayles
with a new juco 2 on the radar, and the transfer portal, i
wouldnt be surprised if there's more movement.

Just thinking out loud, I'd expect our starting five to be:
Foreman, Olaniyi, Garcia, Policelli and Gueye, right?
That's a really strong five for the America East, FWIW.
Then you have TPP, TSM, J-Rod, and Habwe backing up. We're small
with our reserves, but our starting five adjusts up, no matter
who we put in.
Olaniyi, Garcia and Policelli are all 2-4s.

Looks like we picked up Akron transfer Jaden Sayles, rising
Senior. Not sure of eligibility and #'s don't jump off the
page:

My initial reaction was WTH? What are we doing? You know that
deGrom GIF – that was me. What are we doing? Those Sayles vids
from HS were not good.
On second thought, while there isn't a ton that jumps off the
page with guys like Habwe and Sayles BUT ... there is something
to say for experience, width, energy, etc. I think of some of
the guys who have helped Albany and Vermont win ... Greig Stire,
Samuel Dingba, Travis Charles, the Rowleys, Drew Urquhart. Just
these physical bodies who don't need or even want the ball. And
I've clamored for guys like that for years – throw your body
around, get on the glass, let your presence be known, don't try
to do too much – so maybe we finally have them.
It's worth noting that Geno's younger brother, Dustin, is on
staff at Akron. One Zips message board member wrote: "I said on
a post back in January or February that I felt Sayles would
transfer because he's good enough to be a 25 minutes guy in a
conference like the American (sic) East." I asked them for a
full scouting report.

One report on Sayles ...
"Sayles had some good minutes at the end of the season. He is
not generally a good rebounder, tends to slap at the ball rather
than pull it down. He also can be unreliable underneath, missing
some bunnies. But like I said, he did play well at the end of
the year, and might be a good player for you. He finished on a
positive note for sure. Might fit in better in a different
system."
