I'm all for freak athletes, but we have a few of those. Still need a floor general to control the pace. Both on offense and defense.

Has anyone tried to put a rooster list together? 

Is Aaron Reddish still with us?

Aaron Reddish is on the 6 player "summer roster" on the website

Interesting, I never seen UAlbany post a "summer roster" before.  Further, I saw Reddish on campus last Wednesday after working out with other teammates.

Class is complete. We just signed Muneer Newton out of Philly.  2 year’s eligibility, coming from William Penn in Iowa (NAIA).  
 

6’6 220.  Averaged 11 and 8, 62% from the field.  His team went 30-4 and lost by 1 in the NAIA sweet 16.

On paper, DK has got a solid class to surround Beagle and Neely.  I like the haul.

Even before the latest signing, I felt they had a team. I know the current summer roster continue to work-out and the others will join in soon.  The only question: what will Killings do to improve his game time coaching?

[Dane96]

This team has VERY good talent.  That said, the AE on a whole did well in the Portal.  I think the league will be tougher.  This year is all on DK, and I hope he puts it all together; he only has himself to look to this year as far as coaching goes.  Talent-wise, the team was meh last year, about 5-8 on paper (league position).  This team has 3-5 talent, maybe better.

Talk about refreshing. His sophomore highlight real only shows him shooting 1 three-pointer and it's two minutes into the video. He feels like a banger that wants to get to the rim and not settle for the outside shot. Everyone loves the long ball, but the days of UA glory were based on the team making more free throws than the opponents attempted. Having a consistent drive to the hole guy opens up more of the outside shot that todays players have fallen in love with. 

Would love to see him become the next "Sir Buckets" in the Travis Charles mold. The real question is can he defend? Who will be the defensive masters on this team? 

I really hoped we would have picked up a pass first floor general with the last spot, but if they can stay healthy, I am sure Amica/Little/Jackson could fill that role.

 

FYI: This should only be the last spot of Jackson got a scholarship or if Hutch is returning. I am assuming Jackson Got a ship based on conversation on the AE board, which is awesome for him and well-deserved.
