MTS, I agree with most of what you said, except Siena being "much more athletic". UAlbany has 4 guys who played higher level just because they are more athletic. Their skills weren't quite Pac-12, MVC, or A-10 level, but they are athletic. One of those players you reference will be dragging around 250 lbs. on a blown out knee. Another was so athletic he had to redshirt as a freshman at Wichita St. Still another was run off at Utah - but at least he earned himself a spot on SportsCenter by bouncing the ball off of his teammate's head as the shot clock expired. I don't even know who the 4th person you're refering to could be. Suffice it to say, I am underwhelmed by all this higher level athleticism you cite. I'm not sure who you are talking about from Utah, either. And you went from Sam Rowley can't overpower anybody to he can't overpower Lavon Long. That's a huge difference. The fourth person was a high level JUCO and Danish national team member, Anders Haas, who will start. Other than that, you said Albany is bigger at 4 starting spots and on the bench, but they are not bigger. I'm confused now. Oh, yes, and Shengalia has played 2 full seasons since injuring his "blown out knee".

Other than that, you said Albany is bigger at 4 starting spots and on the bench, but they are not bigger. I'm confused now. Oh, yes, and Shengalia has played 2 full seasons since injuring his "blown out knee". I'm talking about Anthony Odunsi - who played at Utah before he went Juco. Albany is his third college. As for Rowley, re-read what I originally wrote. I said he won't overpower anyone who will play at the same position (the 4) for Siena. That means Long, Ogunyemi, or Bisping. Which one of those guys is Rowley going to overpower? Haas is the 4th athletic player from a higher level school? And which school would that be? Did College of Florida - Manatee join the SEC without me knowing about it? I never said Albany is bigger at 4 spots - I said I didn't see much of a size difference actually. What I conceded is that they have more size on the bench - most of whom will never play. Lastly I'm aware Shengalia played as a redshirt freshman in 2011-12 after blowing out his knee in the first minute of his first college game as a freshman. But last season was his year in residence, so he did not play a second full season since the injury. The fact is he's a 250 pounder playing on a surgically repaired knee - not exactly the poster boy for the term athletic. The fact is Albany is a lumbering, slow team - and is in no way as athletic nor as quick as Siena at any position.

1)Odunsi played at Colorado. 2)You clearly wrote Rowley won't overpower anyone 3) You said Albany is bigger at the 1, 2, 3, and 5 positions in the starting line-up, that is 4 spots 4) Shengalia played JUCO last year, he did not redshirt. But speaking of redshirts, you talk smack about Egharevba redshirting at Wichita State but want Wolfe to do the same at Siena.

Odunski-- is an athletic guard/wing- only problem is he cant shoot and he doesn't have a good handle
Anders Haas - is a combo guard- he can really shoot the ball, but is relatively slow and doesn't have proven PG skills
Shengalia is a wild card- he didn't start for his Juco( albeit it was very good team ) he was 7th or 8th man-- if his knee is healed he could be very good
Truth is UA has more question marks than Siena- and while I concede they are bigger ( not by much) As a team Siena is much much quicker and UA has major questions in the back court

But he's on a roll, so let him keep going.

But speaking of redshirts, you talk smack about Egharevba redshirting at Wichita State but want Wolfe to do the same at Siena. 1) No, Odunsi played at Utah as the above link including photo in Utah uniform proves; 2) No, what I clearly wrote was: I expect Gary Johnson and Sam Rowley (both 6'6) to get the start at the 3 and 4 - and neither of them is going to overpower whoever starts at those spots for Siena.; 3) No, what I said was: Up front you've got Albany starting at 6'6, 6'6, and 6'10 compared to Siena at 6'8, 6'8, 6'5. I'm not seeing an overwhelming size difference there...Siena can go 6'0, 6'3/6'4 in the backcourt once Hymes comes out. So again, I see no overwhelming size difference with what Siena can put on the floor.; 4) You are correct here (finally!), Shengalia played at Odessa JC last season; 5) No, I don't want Wolfe to redshirt - and even if I did, no one is claiming he's a higher-level athlete now are they?

Sienafan putting magic in his place. Glad to see that guy gone. He ruined every thread by trying to combat anything anyone said.

Dallas Ennema? Really? I can see posters being crafted now.
P.S. - I never claimed to be mature, just old.
