well not if DK takes Albany to the ACC and they build a 12k seat SEFCU

I’m wondering which current players will show up at the press conference. Such a strange thing we haven’t seen. Always hope former players and alum will continue supporting the program no matter who is leading it.

Already to work!

Still better than Steve Masiello’s undergrad degree from Kentucky!

Welcome Coach Killings. Here’s to hopefully one or two championships before you go big time.

It’s pretty much, “will my scholarship be renewed” and “does this Killings already have his guys he thinks he can bring with him”.

It’s ok, I have a good feeling some of the regular posters over the years will now be gone in the MBB category if you know what I mean.

There also isn't a single player on the current roster where it's an OMG I can't believe they're gone, what are we going to do now feeling.

When you say the roster will be filled by a "crap load of JUCOs" I'll tend to take that as a bad thing. No one takes high roster turnover is a positive, but it's not something we haven't seen within this program and other programs across the country. Coach Killings being unable to fill a roster is the least of my worries. Just look at the transfer portal. There's going to be grad transfers, 2-3 year transfers, JUCOS, and late signing period kids out of HS.

Not to nitpick, but they had 4 transfers at the end of the 2019 season lol. What hurt most was not striking when the iron was hot at the end of the 2015 year. They had a stacked team in 2016 and won 24 games, yet their recruits coming in the following year were, you guessed it 6 JUCOS. The season after they tried to ride that Australian wave again, putting all their eggs in one basket and it completely backfired. The same can be said about the recruiting after the 2007 season.

Soooo care tell me what this past years roster was filled with and what 4/5 of the starters were??? 😂 Some here make it seem like this team was going to have ZERO transfers if the previous regime remained. In fact their roster turned over 6-8 players for the past 5 years whether by graduation or transfer. Ahh remember 3 years ago when they were so proud of having 5 freshman start. That really turned out great. Maybe it's finally JoJo Anderson's time to shine!

Exactly. I have not read one person say how the heck did this guy get a head coaching job except for Albany fans. Praises from Marquette and fans of UConn.

Nope never said that. In fact you can look back as I said WB got unlucky this season with Covid and I would have extended him. My problem is with the clear ties with WB on this board. His contract ended and they decided to move on. Clearly it was so bad you should be happy that your close friend does not have to deal with such a toxic boss anymore.

True. Definitely lots of work to be done.

Marquette had the 21st ranked recruiting class in 2020.

Yeah all in the family, sort of like hiring all your former players as assistants.

Yeah because these past three years have been realll fun times. Clearly whoever he brought in wasn’t going to satisfy most of the posters on this board.

Exactly what? Lol! Clearly we don’t get each other.

Next year? Maybe, maybe not. Who knows.

He can if he wants to go sub .500 again...zing! It’s a joke everyone.

You’re free to post whatever you want and yes the Winter Sports Danes Hoops section of an Albany sports message board is going to be as pinhole narrow as can be lol.

It was from the post below when you said “despite this coach change”, which I assumed you meant Albany.

I don’t think their situation has anything to do with the coaching change Albany is making. Mt St Mary’s is going back to the tournament 3 years after they lost their coach to Siena. Every case is different.

How do AD contracts work? What are Bensons terms?

I'm sure there will be plenty of players available for whoever the new coach is to pull from. Especially with that extra year of immediate eligibility.
