Well, if that jersey does not fit ... UAlbany MBB is looking for a Student Manager and Content Creators ... job descriptions are posted on Instagram @ualbanymbb ... so if you know a UAlbany student with free time and the talent, let he or she know ...  contact is Assistant Coach Guzman

Lastly, the UAlbany Cheer Team and the Dance Team are also looking for new members.  Perhaps, losing football and MBB teams do not help in recruiting and/or retaining members of the cheer squads,

Our Coach Killings was spotted at the Annual Coaches vs. Cancer event, two days ago...

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.

There wasn’t a question in whether he can recruit in my mind. It was just whether he can coach. One other thing I noticed is he has not gone the JUCO route anymore. Is that just gone in general with how much easier it is to transfer without sitting?
