I'm glad to see Stony Brook getting transfers that originally
resided in the island.

It's huge. Dane96 made a comment over on the America East board
about how Stony Brook and Albany compete for recruits and that's
not true. Stony Brook doesn't recruit north of westchester and
without question we dominate recruiting on the island compared
to Albany. Then we recruit nationally in Florida, Texas, and
California, Albany doesn't ahve the budget for that. Lastly they
can't bring in the FBS transfers we bring in. There's really no
competition in recruiting between the two.

the Albany not playing Stony Brook situation, for me, is nothing
more than a SUNY bragging rights situation and something that
can hurt Albany in the long run if they decide to move up in FCS
full-scholarship.
I also disagree with Dane96's comments over having the same
recruiting pool. Its getting clearer and clearer every season
that we are recruit better players, not only from the region,
but from the entire country. Stony Brook has a strong hold on
potential FCS recruits in long island and I doubt they are
affected by Albany's recruiting patterns. If Stony Brook has a
successful 2012 season this recruiting differences will be even
more obvious.
The only reason I made those comments to Dane was to annoy him.
I love annoying him, he acts like he's a know-it-all and that
pisses me off....lol

Looking at their roster. Only a few kids overlap with Stony
Brook's recruiting region. Mostly from the city. I only saw two
or three from L.I (Suffolk + Nassau).

I am very happy with what I've seen. The recruiting has been
excellent, and we are seeing Coach Priore exploring all options.
This is going to be a great year.

Our first ever FBS win this year is a real possibility. Sounds
like we are loaded at all positions.

Priore has always brought in transfers to help immediately build
depth at positions where we lost players to graduation. What's
remarkable about this years recruiting is that the transfers
coming in aren't juco's, they're BCS players.

Awesome. Have you seen any of the other recruits play? I'm
really curious about Aaron Thompson. I can only find the minute
highlight video Stony Brook linked with the press release, but
Thompson looks big and fast.

My nephew played at Lindehurst this year. Thompson is the real
deal. He never played against him but his rep is that he is a
beast and good kid all around. Lots of potential .
