You think Brown has lost 70% of his recruiting classes from any consecutive 3 year period?
Kids that were supposed to be seniors at UA in 2018, but left: (7)
PG (3)--Marqueese Grayson (JC), Michael Wells and Stephan Jiggets
SG (1)--Jamir Andrews (JC)
PF (3)--Chas Brown (JC), Jarran Lands(JC) and Terrell Martin (JC)
Junior Class--(3)
PG (1)--Wheeler Baker
SG (1)--Max Twyman
C (1)--Geremy McKay
Sophomore Class--(1)
(C) (1)--Kyle McKinley
Thats 11 kids that transferred out of the UAlbany program in the past 3-4 years. You do the math. I did the UA homework for you, now go look at Sienas page and you'll find 7, no actually 6 since Nico hasnt transferred yet, scholarship players that left in the same time period. Then you'll figure out how it works once you put down your tunnel vision glasses.
Players listed in the first year they appear on UAs roster.

Siena Lost 9 of 14 or 64% 2013-2017 UA VS SIENA 3 Seasons from 2013-2016
UA LOST 47%
Siena LOST 64% This is a quick review hopefully I caught everything. Feel free to correct. On the face of it neither is stellar. Keep in mind we haven’t seen the fallout from Siena's 2016-17 class or Degnan/Smithen should they leave. Brown has lost his share of recruits but still manages to find kids that fit his system, his success cant be denied. Jimmy on the other losses kids at a higher rate and has not been able to win or recruit well enough to compete at the MAAC or mid-major level. Brown and the AE dominates Patsos in head to head and trips to the post season. Aside from the transfer issues plaguing both there is no doubt who the better run program is at this juncture.
BTW I will be updating once we know the full ramifications of Patsos’s annual spring cleaning. My guess is he’s going to be close to losing 15 players in a 4 year period which will be near double the NCAA average.
