As a personal guess, I would think Healy will use the grad transfer route after next season to play one year at a big time program a la Cremo.  A sharp shooter like him would be coveted by a Power 5 team.

DeSousa  needs to stay however next year is a make or break year for him.  He needs to show us what caught Will's attention 3 years ago.

Wouldn't be shocked. Hope he tells Brown in advance unlike #24 though so he doesn't leave our program in a lurch.

All low level division ones are now dealing with grad transfer rule. As for keeping sophomores i am ok with it as long as desousa, hank and lulka are recruited over and have to prove themselves next year. They all seem like nice kids.

Brown on radio today states they will sign another veteran point guard and maybe even another one, interesting. Def need two more bigs too. Also states the three and gun play will be no more, going back to rebounding and driving.

Yes, he said we need to get some “dudes” up front. Also perimeter players who can create, don’t need more spot up shooters

This is smart, allows you the flexibility to bring Amica along without rushing him. If he's ready, great...if not he can be behind JoJo if healthy and the other veteran PG. 

If I had to guess the other additional maybe..will be more of a combo who isn't a primary PG.

Happy to hear no more 3 and gun. It works in the NBA, it does not work for UA.

[Bball2020]

If healey was healthy maybe, but fast and clark equal turnover nightmares.  Leaves the roster at:

 

healey

rizzuto

jojo

amica

hutcheson

 

run out or come back mandatory better

hank

lulka

desousa

 

out or graduated

clark

lauderdale

hansen

french

shafer

 

per brown they will add two veteran guards so that means they must be adding at least two more bigs to fill vacancies.

Not sure where to post this but Siena just got hit with four level II violations from the Patsos era..  May have to vacate wins from 3 years of his tenure.

LMAO...is that like combined 8 wins? Great, now Siena fans gonna claim those years never happened. Those guys are SOO lucky!

Also per TU this am. NO sit year for transfers. More than likely pass for 20-21 year. Brings basketball, football & baseball in line with all other sports.

I'm not mad at this...! I know there is panic in the streets but relationship building will be that much more important and we'll get a chance to grab kids from higher leagues. Let's face it, how many of our better kids are going to leave? There is no one on this team other then maybe Healy. But we have 4 free spots...let's grab a BCS kid or two that may not be good enough to start for a true blue-blood but would make all the difference in the AE.

That’s a proposal, not approved yet though I’d expect it to be. Has been discussed on AGS for three weeks, so the TU is right on top of things as usual.
