This AM TU has Drumgoole with TWO more years of eligibility. Would think he'd be GOOD to keep around, with Beagle, Jackson, Neely back and what looks like a promising recruiting class and possibly Amica & Little. A lot of question marks & unknowns in all of this though??
Yes. I have said that before. I believe drumgoole is considered a sophomore due to a redshirt and covid year.

Another thug eh? I know we have a lot of guys that suck, but didn’t know they were thugs
Yes thugs is a perfect word for at least a couple of our players. Taunting technical fouls, immaturity, flagrant fouls, selfish behavior, ejections,lack of accountability, lack of giving a "poop". Add another one . Perfect for this team .

With this season all but over, I wanted to check in to see how the 3 freshman recruits for next year were doing. Checked out Robinson first... Not looking good. I have no idea what led up to the melee, so this could have been something that was building up and him just responding or it being part of something bigger, but here it appears he punches a guy setting a screen in the face. Hope this incident isn't as bad as it seems. He had some pretty good offers. Based on this it seems he was a better fit for his offer from Bryant, but I am only basing this on the 18 second clip.
Another thug. Awesome.

Agree why no time out? So if you are not calling time out, let your best ball handler; and a lot to ask of Jackson, but he should have never given up the ball—dribble around & take it to the hoop. You are going to make it, get fouled, get it blocked or just plain miss; 1-10, what do you got to lose. Drumgole & Reddish get stripped of the ball on drives what 50% of the time. Jackson should have taken the final shot himself & not tried to pas off IMHO
They used the timeout after the first made free throw. There was no need for another time out . A good coach would have had a play called during that time out. Of course Killings is a terrible coach and therefore no play was called.
-
I have not posted a lot because I don't want to get banned. But wow. I can't believe this man is a head coach.
3 minutes left: hold the ball and throw up a wild 3 pointer at the end of the shot clock .
Next possession, 2 minutes left : shot clock violation
Last 2 possessions in regulation: a turnover and a shot that does not hit the rim.
That's absolutely pathetic. That's all coaching. Coach Killings is absolutely trash and the only reason he was not fired is because the color of his skin. Bottom line.

Dude.
I'm sorry it needs to be said. They really suck. Everyone has to leave except Beagle and Neely. Everyone! They are laughable on offense. They are even more laughable of defense (if that's even possible). Worse team in almost 20 years. Disgusting.

ps. I always thought President Rodríguez had enough issues on his plate; and I never wanted to write him directly. I am out of the country until next Thursday. The first thing I do when I get back, is to write President Rodriguez. And I urge everyone on this blog to do likewise.
If people feel a letter campaign to some other individual more effective or appropriate please supply your suggestions
I wrote the president a couple of months ago .
My email:
President Rodriguez,
As a UAlbany alumni I am absolutely disgusted with the way UA has handled the Coach Killings incident. I am appalled that anyone would support the intentional physical striking of a student athlete. The fact that Coach Killings was able to keep his job shows that the University supports physical contact with students. AD Benson also needs to be fired for allowing this to happen. For the first time in my life I am ashamed to be an Albany alumni. I urge you to do the right thing and immediately terminate the contracts of both Coach Killings and Athletic Director Benson. Please restore integrity and honor to UAlbany.His response :Thank you for your email and for sharing your concerns. I assure you that the health and well-being of our campus community is of paramount importance to me and my leadership team.
While the University cannot comment publicly on pending litigation, it has made every effort to be as transparent as it can be regarding this matter. Confidentiality prevents the University from disclosing some information publicly, but please know that it will address the allegations made in the lawsuit in court.
Again, the University at Albany greatly appreciates your feedback.

Here is my issue. I'm starting to think Killings does not have a game plan. Most of the time I don't know specifics about a team and talk in general.
However , this game we all know Doles. He is soft. Not bad but soft. He is not going to back you down, or beat you off the dribble . He is going to shoot the midrange jumper or 3 pointer. He was on the team all last year doing this . And yet he continued to do it last night and be effective. The fact the players did not know this shows their lack of understanding or the coaches lack of understanding. Either way it's extremely alarming.
-
Listen. They played hard . When your one of the 30 worse teams in the country, that's the only positive I can think of.....
-
Was not sure where to put this, however I recently ran into an "employee of UA athelics". They stated Killings does not want to build a team through the portal. Very interesting to me. He believes in developing freshman or multiple year transfers. Believes that Neeley, Jackson, Beagle, Edmead, and to some extent Reddish are developing nicely. He believes he got a "steal" with all 3 incoming recruits. He thinks he is still 2 years away, Beagles Jr year, but believes he can build something special .
Not sure I agree but I was nice to hear that he had a plan. This was the plan he was hired from. If things play out we could do far worse than having Drumgoole, Neeley, and Beagle as a foundation next year.

Reddish having a nice game...I like how he's developing, finishing at the rim nicely. What has happened to Hutch seems to get worse every season here. Can't do anything right
Reddish is an immature punk.

These are 2 of the 10 worse basketball teams in D1. So sad.

The train wreck continues.
Teams are built through the portal now. To quote Will Brown , "you get old, and you stay old." Killings has done such a piss poor job in the portal its not even funny.

Drumgoole spent two seasons at Pitt. He's listed as a senior on the roster which he is academically. I would think he has another year left with the COVID year. I agree he's a good player and is having an all-conference type year so far.
Right I understand he had 2 years a Pitt. 1 was a covid year. Then he redshirt last year . Does that mean he has this year and 2 more after. That's kinda what I'm asking.
-
This game was over before it started. I think Drumgoole is not a terrible player. I think he is one of the only players that is worth anything. So I will ask this. I understand he is listed as a senior, however what is his eligibility year? Is he really a sophomore?
2019-2020 freshman
2020-2021 Covid year
2021-2022 redshirt
2022-2033 Sophomore ?
Does this make sense? Because nexy year with a jr (theoretically) Drumgoole, sophomore Neeley, and sophomore Beagle, and a Jr Reddish, at least had a decent core.

Just watched Bryant. They are going to KILL US (Figuratively not literally.....lol). They are so well coached. Excellent players. A program on the rise.
-
I know this is cliche but kids can join the Army at 18. Drink at 21. Garbage is not a terrible word at all . I turned 22 and got a job of authority. I have been called wayyyyy worse than garbage.
Truth is there is no "talent" on this team. Now have the freshman (now sophomores) improved .....yes, but they were so bad last year, outside of Neely, there was no way to go but up.
We are a bad bad team, however I can see them improve in conference, mostly because there are some bad AE teams. Hoping for a .500 record.
-
So believe it or not.... the sets of the last handful of games have been good. It's a complete lack of talent. That's alarming for me because we hired a "recruiter".
-
So disappointed with this team . They are so boring. I was such a supporter of Killings when he was hired. Boy was I wrong.
Thought he was a recruiter (nope). Thought he would bring the team together with positive energy (nope, just physically pushes kids). Bensons record of hiring is atrocious. So disappointing.
-
Hopefully he is fired tomorrow and take Benson with him.

Two technical fouls says it all. These kids are undisciplined punks. Embarrassed to be a UA Alumni.

This is pathetic. Does anyone know if President Rodriguez actually reads emails ?

Did he say this during an interview or something or is this just inferred? Because he is now in year 3 and if he wants to keep his job he is going to need to get mean in a sense. He is just too nice at times. If you can't contribute on a bad team then you should be let go.
