During loss, Siena men's basketball makes big gain

[Tony]

Big pickup for Jamion and Siena. Elijah isn’t a savior for Siena basketball, but the second he becomes eligible he becomes our best all-around big man. He brings much and I mean much needed speed and athleticism to front court. Burns will be a solid big man in the MAAC – he helps immediately with our almost nonexistent depth. Fact that we get year and half out of Burns is outstanding. With our projected back court next year – maybe best in MAAC certainly one of the best we are legitimate contenders for MAAC title as soon as next season. Its help bridge the recruiting as Jamion restocks Siena’s decimated roster, and quite possibly opens the door to other potential upstate NY players transferring to Siena. Just a win-win situation for Elijah and for Siena

Now if we can get the NCAA to grant Kevin Huerter a waiver to transfer in from the Atlanta Hawks we will be all set.

he will be a 10pts-6reb guy once he gets up to speed....................win win for us............for a comparison, think of a Lee Matthews type with a jump shot...................
