Excellent news. Those I spoke to about him at the HS level said he's special, he just needed to put on some weight and deal with the speed of the game (both not unexpected at this level). Way I see it, I would suppose it's a two way battle between Myles and Trey...with Van getting third team reps, and next year a battle for number 2 (presuming Myles doesn't beat out Trey, tear it up, and move on to an FBS school). BTW, really good friends with folks in the UM program, high level close-up to the program. He's had a vanilla, but good camp. He had a mixed performance in the spring game, hitting an absolutely beautiful long ball and missing on a wide open receiver. Jacurri Brown transferred, meaning he is solidly in the group of three, with Ward as the starter and Poff/Williams vying for #2. So many 3 and 4 star recruits are transferring at key positions (like Brown). As much as we are a feeder program now, if we EMBRACE IT, Albany could have consistently wonderful years as kids will either want to start here and shine or drop down, shine, and move on. For all of our initial worries about the staff, and they were valid in many respects and irrational in other ways, this staff (starting with Gattuso) is excellent at recognizing raw talent and molding them. I think we finally settled on an offensive scheme that works, which is great. Personally, as much as i can't stand what has happened to college sports and it is ultimately driving out really good people before there time is up (Saban, eventually Gattuso, etc.), we are positioned to handle it well...and I think Coaching staff consistency is a HUGE key as it is the ultimate selling point at our level as kids ask, "Can you get me to my next spot, my dream...a NIL package or a shot at P2 school".

There will be so many kids without a degree, it's not even funny. Honestly, it is not college sports anymore. The amount of students who benefit from this massive 4 year upheaval is minute. The ones that suffer, long term, is a rather large group.

Money is likely to move the needle for both, that's about it.

Sultan Adewale has committed.

We have an onsite visit report "sighting". 6'7 kid from Iona coming up this weekend. Will be a sophomore, from London, U.K. and...shocker...he played HS ball in Philly. (Really good Catholic league school). Was pretty highly recruited out of high school. Played only 14mpg as a frosh averaging 3ppg and 3.2 RPG. Sultan Adewale His big offensive performances came against LBSU, Buffalo, Fairfield, St. Peter's, Rider, and St. Francis. Interesting player...a bit raw in some areas but he has some solid potential. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbgC69uJL2w https://twitter.com/SultanAdewale12

Incorrect. Highly protected meaning, you would not even get a redacted document.

No.

Don’t let the door hit you in the ass. Kid was soft.

It doesn’t belong in this thread and there is absolutely no nexus between the politics of the county and NIIL. Zero.

UNCONFIRMED REPORT: Hampton has come to terms with a new coach, the Associate HC of G'Town, Ivan Thomas. An excellent choice as he helped Cooley build Providence and he is a local of Hampton, VA.

Sadly a couple of days old and, per my pipeline of canaries, fake news. Sigh.

Haven't tried it yet...is the browser safe? I have been tempted but it looks too good to be true. You have had no probems? As for killings, barring an NCAA run i don't think he's getting a new contract.

Two glaring "Clueless" Killings moves today, both involving Thomas. 1. Putting him in with 40 or so seconds to go in the first with three fouls. Sorry, getting a fourth foul on a potential charge (and that is a reasonable event that could occur due to his playing style) is not worth going up 3 or 4 (I forget the exact score) heading into the second half. Absolutely Binging stupid rookie coaching movie; and 2. Thomas' bad side showed in the last 100 seconds...forcing way too much and trying to play hero ball. I get it, he's the man on the team...but DK (as you allude) had a TO with less than a minute remaining, yet he didn't use it appropriately. Anyone who has coached high school and higher knows that in that situation, on the road, you use the TO to calm your leader...and get a play set. FIRE KILLINGS...GUY IS A CHARLATEN.

Let me say this, because I really can't say more about DK. Newton...man made me eat crow. He had a MONSTER game, absolute MONSTER...considering his role and size. I still think his ceiling for top low-major, good mid-major is 15-20 mpg, max...but damn that kid balled out today.

It's a joy to watch the ladies, and to watch and hear Mullen as a coach. DK should take note of what Mullen notes about in game and in season adjustments.
