Absolutely. And if the person you can get is a 7 foot project what will likely take 2 years to develop when you are a losing team, then sure. But I can tell you that it's not a recipe for success. For record I don't follow this player. Just read what the "experts" are saying that he is very very raw. We don't get players of his size in our league unless they are. We should not be focusing on raw players on a losing team.

I'm not sure attempting to sign a 7 foot project that has a 75 percent chance to leave if any good is such a great idea. Unless we have having trouble filling our scholarships- which may be the case. I prefer to sign guys that can help right now. We have a ton of minutes left. If we were a winning team with a lot of depth then I could understand.

UA Men's Basketball Coach Search
UA1882 replied to nysteve661's topic in Winter Sports-Danes Hoops, Track
You guys like him more than I do. I thought is defense was good. Not great. Fouled a ton. Offensively, he can't create his own shot . Not a great shooter. He hustles. Which is great. To me and I understand its my opinion but he is a 10 minute player on a D1 team. -
UA Men's Basketball Coach Search

Chuckle all they want. They picked up a boardline D1 player. Have not been to the tournament in 15 years. Lost to us by 30 last year. Their atheltic department as a whole is an absolute failure and could not even hold our jock strap. -
Kacper Klaczek from Saint Joseph's committed as well. Killings has proven he can't coach but he is now doing what I thought he should be doing all along. 22-23 year old kids. Get old and stay old. I like the drop downs that have had some success in higher conferences. I like the additions so far. This is his true make or break year.

Kinda odd. It's like going back to a cheating girlfriend. They did not think he was good enough to play the first 2 years. Then goes back with a ton of other options ? Probably has some good friends there or something. On another note from Twitter: 6'9 forward Angelo Winkel out of Des Moines Area Junior College tells me that he just visited UAlbany. Winkel will be visiting Northern Arizona on Monday & South Dakota on Wednesday. Winkel also visited Portland State last weekend. 16.9 PPG 7.1 RPG First Team All-American Looks like he wants to take a ton of visits and decide. Seems like a good player.

With those two back you have something almost no matter what. However a freshman that averaged 3 points a game (even though could very much improve) does very very little to move the needle for Thomas and Marshall. Would need to bring in high level senior talent for a shot to have them come back.

I would say at this point ....no one on the team right now would start on a .500 D1 team. Not one. I believe there are 13 D1 scholarships. If im a D1 coach at this level I'm recruiting Jr's and Srs only. Freshman and sophomores are younger , less developed and will leave before they reach their development.

bracket challenge 2024 Bracket Challenge

Thanks. Appreciate it. One in a row! -
Beagle to Richmond. Good luck to him. He can score but hopefully this next coach can teach him how to play defense. I have been following (on X) who Albany is talking to in the transfer portal. It's bad. A ton of D2 players. Things can change but it looks like a Siena type season unless we pull a rabbit out of our hat.

I got stuck in the garage once. Never ever again. I will park in a lot outside to make sure I get out quickly.

Very true. .. unfortunately "Adultery" is still a crime in the Penal Law of NYS. (On the books) And of course not enforced. Haha.

My understanding is no . College basketball is free agency every year. Can transfer as many times as you want with no penalty.
-
Someone said it before. Almost every mid major player will now join the portal. Maybe our players are like "go find some great talent and we will come back". They are just keeping their options open. However they are probably gone. If you can't coach and you can't keep recruits, you won't be a head coach for long.

Again we cannot afford it but he needs to be done. Unless something changes I will not be renewing my season tickets. I have had them for 10 years. Plus it's not like we have a large fan base. I can get them back whenever I want. Fire him now and bring in someone with winning on their resume. I will not give money to a University that does not care about winning. They renovate this place and for what? I will see what happens in the portal but I'm sure it will be terrible. We have 0 guys on the team right now that should start a D1 game.
