I’d really like to have a special 4-man class come in next year. Me too.

I think we all can say with confidence that Carm and Company aren't going to sign a fourth player if that player isn't at a certain level. With this team of coaches, their hard work and expertise in recruiting has set a new and higher standard. It's early but the great choices Carm has made in picking his staff, they may even exceed Fran's level of recruitment in the future. Like almost everyone here, I loved Fran and very distraught when he left. Well it's been a looooong decade since he left, for all of us, I'm more excited about this season than ever! And we haven't even won a game yet!!

I want to throw out a thought for the board and the fans who are the basketball core of Siena Hoops This young first time coach is going to make it. We have had several great coaches We let them get away We have also swung and missed a couple of times. These mistakes caused loss of money and prestige DON’T LET CARM GET AWAY Raise the money Help this guy build us into a power house. It’s a dream we can reach with hard work a total support. Plan for domination. Then grow every year.

Plan for domination. Then grow every year. It's a nice thought and always possible. That said, the allure of Million$ is hard to ignore. Heck JC left MSM for Siena for a heck of a lot less. Sure NEC, etc. but by that logic if the ACC comes calling what should Carm do? I'd be ecstatic if he gets us back to where Fran left us. If that's "all" he does it will be more than enough. If he turns Siena into a Gonzaga, well, I'll happily take that too but I'm not expecting it. It's a lot to ask though I think it could be more rewarding than the situation Fran is in now. And hey, if we do go A10 at some point...that may be all it takes to keep Carm happy.

Not everyone needs multiple millions. If Carm can get us to the nCAAS a few times and we get 3/4 capacity at the TU on a regular basis, that may generate enough extra $ to keep Carm here. Personally, I wouldn't want the pressure cooker of the " big 5". I had some opportunuies to go to some higher paying jobs and chose not to and we were able to put 3 through good colleges. I think with Carm it is not all about the money.Anyhow, a few 100 M chump change.

I have no idea what Mekhi's decision will be, but in doing a bit of research, I learned that Mekhi did not play with either of the Bona sophs who attended Putnam Science Academy. Each of them was there only for the 2017-18 season after graduating from high schools in New Jersey. Mekhi was still at Hendrick Hudson High that year. And when he moved to NEPSAC for 2018-19, it was to South Kent, not Putnam Science. So the question is not whether going to Bona gives him a chance to play with former teammates, but rather the extent to which the staff at Putnam Science pushes kids to St. Bona and how much allure playing in the A10 has for him. As to the latter, I note only that he was offered by Fordham and did not even take an official visit there. Per Verbal Commits, our offer was more than two months before Bona's, and Carm & company work very hard at recruiting. It will be interesting to see his choice.

Good info, I still think he’s coming to Siena.

I think the 3 o'clock timeline was more of a Gray area.
