Any word on when Friday and Radcliff will return ? Sounds like there’s a good chance that Sammy May redshirt and ideally Ratliff will return during the homestand

I been expecting that from Seymour for awhile. I too hope tonight’s the night. All Seymour does is shoot 3's. That's it, that's all he brings to the plate. Tonight 4-10 is OK from 3 that's 4% better than usually. He had 12 pts in 28 mins, both 3's and pts were above his average this year, but look at the rest of his stats tonight, 0-0, 0-0-0-0-0-0. Look at them for every game, softest 6'9' player in the MAAC! One dimensional. Need players, not just a 3 point shooter. There are now, and there have been in the past, guys in the NBA who made a career out of doing nothing more than shooting and making three-point shots. The fact that Sloane takes and makes a decent percent of those shots stretches defenses and allows Evan, Manny, Jalen and Kadeem to get to the basket and score from inside. In a perfect world, it would be great if Sloane blocked shots, was a shut-down defender, rebounded, handed out a bunch of assists, etc. But if he could do more of those things, and still shoot the way he does, he wouldn't be at Siena. What he does has been an important element in the success the team has had this year. We'll have to wait and see what the dynamics are next year, and how his shooting ability contributes to next year's team, which will look much different than the team we are seeing now. I'm more than happy that Sloane is on the team, and will be grateful for his three, four, five, however many three-pointers he can make for us each game.

Clearly Cantamessa was not a one dimensional player. In addition to his 3 point shooting he was a good rebounder even though he couldn't jump six inches. I believe he had a thousand rebounds in his career. Always blocked out under the basket leaving rebounds for Osinski and the others when he wasn't in a position to get it In addition he always had the defensive job on the other teams's big man. Also a good passer and had a great basketball IQ. Ended up with a nice career in Europe.

As a freshman he had 80 rebounds in a different style of play (500 for career). Seymour has 20. He had 173 points to Seymour 233 and counting. 3 point fg .380 to .360. Cantamessa had a huge sophomore jump let’s give Seymour a chance one more year.

Cantamessa was an unbelievable shooter. I believe he led the NCAA in FT shooting one year and was high (maybe top 20?) in three point percentage. Hopefully Sloan can get a little stronger this off-season and get to the line. I think he'd be pretty automatic there.

Agree Sloan is one dimensional, but and this is big but, he is only 18 years old. Going forward he will have to improve. If he doesn’t his playing time will diminish every year he is here. Same with Manny Camper, he has two years left, he will need to improve or he will play less next year. I for one am excited to see how this staff works with players in off season. In the past when we had good coaches we have seen big time improvement in players from year to year, sometimes massive jumps between freshmen and sophomore years. Clearly if Sloan doesn’t do more than just shoot, he will become nothing more than a situational player. If he does improve he is a 6’9” shooter with a tremendous “upside” What’s not to like in this? It’s really on Sloan to show what he can do going forward as Siena’s talent level improves

MTS, not to leave you hanging...…………...but Cantamessa led the nation 1997-98 in 3pt FG pct at 56.4% (yowza)...………..that same year, Siena as a team led the nation in FT pct at 80.3% (amazing)………………..of course that yr Hewitt was the coach...…………...

Cantamessa had a huge sophomore jump let’s give Seymour a chance one more year. Cantamessa took 57 free throws as a freshman and 357 in his career. Seymour has taken 2. Cantamessa also attempted 64 2 point field goals as a freshman compared to 18 for Seymour. He was far less one dimensional than Seymour is. Let's hope Seymour dedicates his offseason to rounding out his game but a lot of defense, rebounding, and aggressiveness is attitude and I haven't seen any desire from Seymour to want to do anything but shoot 3's thus far. Could be an all-MAAC player if he wants it or he could be recruited over and buried on the bench by his junior year. Neither would shock me.

Also Jimmy could shoot light out. CAREER 46% from 3. I've always said IF Sloan can get to the 45% mark, I'll forget that he cant do anything else. But 36% isnt cutting it, and is nowhere great as some out like you to believe. Shot may look pretty, but all I judge him on is how many actually go in.

JC's ability to develop Sloan into a complete player may overshadow winning the MAAC. If Sloan won't work on this will surely result in his being recruited over; if he hasn't been already.
