I'll say it again, if the school has any sort of unofficial no JUCO policy for mens basketball it is crap. For a non-qualifier out of high school that goes JUCO these are the rules that went into place a couple years ago: At the two-year school, did you: n Complete at least three semesters or four quarters as a full-time student? (Summer school does not count.) n Graduate from a two-year school? You must earn 25 percent of the credit hours at the two-year school that awards your degree. n Earn 48-semester or 72-quarter transferable-degree credit hours at the two-year school? The transfer credits MUST include six-semester or eight-quarter hours of English, three-semester or four-quarter hours of math, AND three-semester or four-quarter hours of natural/physical science.** If you are a nonqualifier... n Earn a GPA of 2.500 in those transferable credit hours? In other words, if you are a non-qualifier out of high school you need to get your associates and do so with a minimum of 2.5 gpa with certain course requirements or you cannot receive a DI scholarship and be immediately eligible. If a kid has accomplished that, it is good enough to attend Siena on a basketball scholarship. Unless the credits and GPA are from a bogus school. That is not uncommon., unfortunately.

The staff is looking at some JUCOs currently, I don't have any other info other then that. They are looking for an impact player that can play now. You crawled out of a hole with that blanket statement? Playa please.

I don't know if the admin has a policy for it or are against JUCOs, but the fact that very few have come to Siena lead me to think they don't like them. Since there's been 8 coaches since I've followed them there's only been like 3 JUCOs (2 with Fran). I find it hard to believe that it's totally up to the coaches since many would have wanted quick fixes after inheriting losing records. The fact that they didn't leads me to think its the admin/school.
Maybe they'll prove meeting & Jimmy will get one.

Speculation on my part but my guess is academics plays a big role ... Women played w only 7 players this year and they redshirted a Frosh to help her adjust to the rigors of a college classroom ... Siena takes pride in it's high athletic graduation rate ... There have been players over the years who needed the extra tutoring help ( and Siena doesn't have a problem w that - they want their athletes to succeed in the classroom) Just believe there is a standard Siena will not drop below ... That's why the MAAC has Iona

Well, after reading the other post about JO's decision to maybe return, not having that last scholarship filled is making some sense. I'm sure there is a recruit waiting for a definite answer. The question is how long does the "welcome back " last.

The question is how long does the "welcome back " last. verbalcommits a few days ago said Siena offered some guard from the Albany area. Last name started with a P. So, unless he is 2016-17, they are actively looking to fill that last scholarship IMO.
