Looking Ahead/Two Transfers

Clickclack · May 13, 2007

Redshirting would not open up a scholarship, the player sits out a year while developing and doesn't lose any eligibility and he remains as a scholarship player.

I think that someone redshirting is always a possibility but with the loss of Jamar and Jason there is alot to replace and the perimeter guys who were brought in weren't brought in to redshirt especially the recent ones.

Moores has already redshirted a year at Pratt. He has 3yrs to play three years.

Hastings has three years to play two but is the most athletic and offensive minded of the possible 3/2s who seemingly fits into Jason's spot. You rarely if ever here of a JC redruit redshirting unless it's for injury.

Ambrose already sat out this year.

Raffa has high expectations

Billy Allen seemingly is of the Brian Lillis mold. A big guard who is multi purpose and knows how to play.

Iati will be in his final year of eligibility.

Reid Anderson missed the end of last season but did show promise at times could redshirt but I would doubt it.

Ross will be a Sr.

There is no reason to redshirt a guy unless the guy needs time to develop and it will help the athlete and the program both.

Other then for injury it's usually true freshman that redshirt.

Just my opinion.

Patch,

Isn't Ross gone? Or he is staying on and paying his own way?

Patch · May 13, 2007

I have no clue, I haven't heard if he's still here or if he's gone.

I would assume he's gone but our man at the TU hasn't had any news for us and last I checked he hasn't confirmed Josh Martin.

If he doesn't know, other than Coach Brown I don't know who would

There's been nothing on Ross since Ross himself said he was gone. HERE.

The Philly reporter who covered Martin confirmed Martin as coming to UAlbany. HERE.

The new question seems to be "What's the deal with Raffa?"

KingDane · May 14, 2007

Is there anyone who can provide accurate and conclusive information on Raffa?

Is there anyone who can provide accurate and conclusive information on Raffa?

Probably only the coach or time. Has anyone heard anything about this "Gym Rat Challenge" as posted on the Siena board? Apparently mr.siena is reporting that it will be our first chance to see the prospective recruits, May26-27

The Gym Rat is a well attended AAU Tourney and if you know who we are looking at for 2008 their AAU Team might be there and you can get a glimpse of their abilities.

Well, looks like the math was off somewhere. Maybe, as someone suggested, Ambrose isn't counted as on scholarship?

In any case, here's what the roster looks like after spring recruiting. 14 on the roster. Could someone be red-shirted?
