Things did not look good for us on March 21 when 17 bolted after a solid rebuilding foundation year. Fortunately- Siena acted quickly and hired Carm within 5 days. Carm kept everyone on the roster (we had to hold our breath with Jalen and the draft but likely it was an overreaction). Carm kept the team together but still was worried we weren't hearing anything on recruits. But his patience paid off big time and proved he could seal the deal (first major recruit always a tough one as a head coach)
On June 5th things are looking pretty good. Don't want to get too confident but I like where we stand. Anything can happen in college sports but this team is set up to contend not only next year but for the next several years.
While we will have to wait to see how Carm coaches so far he's doing everything right. Perhaps we might have even upgraded at head coach?
Carm's patience paid off - not taking a kid to take a kid. Tremendous job to close the deal with Gary Harris who had multiple P5 offers. I'd say we upgraded from Walker to Harris. If we land Justin Webster you could argue we upgraded with him from Richard though Richard had more experience is coming off a major injury.

Really nice get by the staff! Can someone please tell the kid it’s “College” not “University” though!! 🤦♂️ Maybe Siena will change the name to Siena University to align with the recruit. They are offering graduate degrees now . ;-)

I always tell people I went to the University of Siena at Loundonville (USL), not to be confused with the University of Siena at Siena (USS)...

He had to be impressed with the TUC, and we got lucky the weather was great when he was here.

He sounds not only humble but also hungry to improve his game. “I feel like I have an overall game,” Harris said, “but it still needs work.” “Harris said he’s excited to start getting to work with the Saints when he gets to campus June 23 for summer workouts. “It’s going to be fun,” Harris said.”
