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. 

I've been in agreement with you for a long time. Nice role player, solid hustle, good depth. Nothing against him, always was a good teammate.

Jackson is not a borderline D1 player.  Agree with the rest.  Borderline hyperbolic statement. 

To his credit he's worked himself into a viable D1 player but he will always be a good role player. Which is perfectly fine

DK better find a PG or this season is dead on arrival.

Just saw it reported that Marcus Jackson will be suiting up across town. Blah. I'll still root for him to do well while rooting for his team to lose. Hard nosed kid, whatever he lacked in skills was more than made up in effort and grit. Good luck to him in the future. 

Sorry put this in another thread, decent depth guy but not sure this has ever happened. Fine role player for them but if they are looking for more than that from him will be disappointed. 

Jackson to LCC...L M A O...

Ok this latest kid is very nice. To bad we didn't have that last year. His mobility, size, athleticism and defense stands out...

3 years at BC with decent numbers...tough go at UCF with big drop off. 

Thomas back to Rhode Island...ge's gone gone!

Prayers for the family, sad news. Not sure what happened.

Well that's a good start... I guess the recruiting line could be: we've wiped our roster that couldn't win. Let's start over.

Sultan had offers from Clemson, George Washington, Memphis, Arizona State, West Virginia, Oklahoma State, Georgia Tech, Rutgers, Ole Miss, Oral Roberts, DePaul, Washington, and Buffalo out of High School. 

Probably a new mid-major one and done. That's what I'm now calling the High Major potential guys that transfer down a year to build stats and move up.

I know it's a common assumption that once a kid is in portal he's gone but if he can re-recruit Thomas and or Marshall you have something here.

Sultan Adewale has committed.  

He always could recruit...$iena coach!

So as it looks now...

 

PG: Adnan (so), Lindsey (fr)

SG: Matulu (fr/wo)

Wing: Reddish (sr)

SF: Neely (so)

PF/C: Walker (so/wo), Taylor (fr)

I count 5 scholarship players and 2 walk-ons? Am I missing someone? Who is going to play on this team next season?

Updating my post from before now that Newton has entered the portal.

8 scholarships available now? No news of any new commits? Might have the play the season 4 on 5 if there is even a team lol.

Don't be silly, every 'ship will be filled...what that means in terms of wins and losses remains to be seen but starting linup won't be walkons.

John D'Argenio was not looking for someone that might draw comparisons and might demand a more equitable situation for the women's program.  Can you image John giving any consideration to someone that had demanded a fairer and more equitable scheduling agreement? 

When Siena and their fans talks about their basketball tradition, their talking about their MBB program (for the most part.)

Hopefully, Will is looking elsewhere as the local options have dried up.

I don't blame Beagle for jumping ship and looking for a better opportunity, but I am betting he could have gone significantly higher than Richmond had he not quit on the team mid-season. I know I wouldn't want a kid that did that to his teammates without a bulletproof reason. 

I doubt that unless basketball is now played only on the offensive end. One of the worst defensive bigs I've seen in a long time.

This is a situation where we will have to agree to disagree.

We do not know the circumstances; I was left wondering did Killings and his staff have the skill sets necessary on how to handle Jonathan's issues or needs.  Further, did the Luke Fizulich incident, make Killings more ineffective in dealing with individual player situations and relucent in communicating to the fan base on these issues.

In the end Jonathan Beagle has successfully exited the Transfer Portal to a basketball program with a head coach, who has compiled 19 years of head coaching experience at the same institution.  (Sound familiar) I am certain this head coach has seen it and heard it all and carefully weighed the benefits of signing up Jonathan Beagle.

LOL in two years Jonathan Beagle has gone from savior of our program to whatever phase you want to attach to him.  

We can start with a talented quitter...unless something of substance emerges that would change that calculus.

Who is the Jeannie ya'll speak of? And why was she in a bottle? 

Why are we trying to get her back in ..did we ask if she liked it in the bottle?

HAHA...this is unreal. Even this kid is leaving...

If an incoming freshman MBB player has decent 1st year, he will enter the portal.  UAlbany MBB team will continue to be a one year stop in the world of college basketball.

Further, has something else happened, that has not been reported to the general public.

I had the same thought to your last line...

Listen, I do think some of them will be back...there is no market for most of them not named Thomas, Marshall or Beagle. 

If no one comes back it's a brutal indictment of DK. 

90% chance Redish is in there by dinner time...

Yikes. Just Binging fire DK. the school wastes so much money on other subjectively dumb things. What’s a 300k buy out. This guy couldn’t coach his way out of a cardboard box. DONE with it ✅ 

Honest question..who's left in the program. Adnan, Redish, Newton and two walkons. This is insane LOL!

Next up... Margoupis gone...
