On a different note, it looks like Clark has put in a lot of time in the weight room based on the image above. 

I did see those guns on him.  Not sure he needed that for his game to improve as that will come from between the ears.

3 AE teams in the top 10. Crazy.

Win % not given. How much is a result of a low-ranked league not being able to get home games? Stony Brook was rebuilding its arena that decade.

Our total was helped by $iena’s refusal to play home and home.

Important development for this years team...should be deep on the wings and back-court.

2019 roster is now up on the UA website.  Brief bios on the new fellas.  Hutchinson's awards make him look like the greatest thing to come out of Iowa since corn.  Not even sure he will get any PT or may be a RS.  Hope we get decent writeups from the Canada tour and boxscores to see any team progress.

We'll see. Sometimes those guys from Iowa surprise us.

The way I see the roster:

 

Group 1 - Guys who' are proven contributors at Albany

Ahmad Clark

Cam Healy

Malachi De Sousa

Lulka

Rizzuto

Guys who can make a jump from contributor to all - conference:

Any of them.

 

Group 2 - Guys who are proven contributors at D1 other than Albany:

Joseph Anderson

Romani Hansen

 

Group 3 - Guys who have a proven role at Albany

Hank

Lauderdale

French

Guy who can make a jump from group 3 to group 1:

Lauderdale

 

Group 4 - Guys who haven't yet had a chance to prove themselves:

Mitch Doherty

Sam Shafter

Trey Hutcheson

Guys who can make a jump to group 3 or 1:

????

 

I see the playing group mostly from groups 1-3. That's 10 guys. Any of the freshman are going to have to be terrific to break into that group.

 

This is far better than last year when we basically had - Ahmad, Devonte and a ton of ??????

Not sure if everyone saw the e-mail. I know I almost missed it. Would hate to have someone lose their normal seats because they missed a deadline. It looks like it is coming up soon....

This team makes it so easy to root for them.

[godanesgo99]

Well I guess the guantlet has been dropped. It seems Lamb has some lofty goals for this UVM season. I love where his head is at. Love that he mentioned he wants to DPOY. He says all the right things, but damn that is a bold goal. I would almost root for him and UVM if I didn't hate their fanbase so much. They are going to be hard to beat, but after the last few seasons there is nothing I want more than to beat them badly this season. It would be so much better than waiting for next season and beating them without Lamb....

What are your goals for the upcoming season, and what are your expectations for the upcoming season? I want to become an All-American, be DPOY, and be the best leader I can be so that they remember me for that. I also want to be top-10% in defense nationally. We want to win a national championship and I believe that we can actually do it: it will take a lot of hard work but we have the crew to do it.
