I read on the ESPN site that 6'8' forward Chris Doherty plans to transfer from ND at the end of the semester. He was recruited two years ago by Boston Coillege, Florida Gulf Coast and Manhattan before selecting the Irish. I wonder if Burns could be instrumental in interesting his former teammate in Siena. Just a thought as we wait for the Cal Poly game to tip off.

Chris Doherty is a soph - worth kicking the tires on, he is from Mass, a few I would like to see Siena look into-- Brendan Barry of Dartmouth-- grad transfer eligible immediately net year, kid can shoot 44% from 3-- and If I remember correctly Patsos recruited him as walk on- so he knows Siena
Patrick Tapé 6'10" from Colombia avg 11 points and 6 boards a game last year- and I'm sure several more new transfers will pop up in next 3 or 4 weeks

Tony is on the money on Barry. Had some interest in us, Obviously has family connections to an all time great. We have a connection via a all time great Siena fan in NJ. MASTERS PROGRAM IS TAILOR MADE.

MASTERS PROGRAM IS TAILOR MADE. If they landed Barry you could almost start rearranging the banners in the TUC now. That would push Carpenter to 6th man. Guard and shooting issues would be pretty much gone. Ball control and scoring balance would be extremely good....like unfair good. A drunken monkey could thrive at center with that back court. I'm just skeptical we can land a guy like that.

Jimmy and Abe kicked the tires on Chris Doherty before he blew up and got the ND offer. Hard-playing tenacious rebounder type who probably went too high and also dealt with some personal stuff at ND. We may kick the tires there.
Berry and Tape are probably going higher than us and they won’t go through their recruitments until the spring, but Berry in particular we might have a dark horse shot at. Just a tough sell to tell him he’s at best the 3rd guard, he can do that at bigger programs or be the guy at other mids.

Lineup would be Pickett-Berry-Carey-Camper-Bigtobenamedlater. Carpenter would come off the bench.

Well, you can sell him on a starting position and a chance to win a title and go to the NCAAs. It's clear we need some shooting and we have 3 great players. Anyone can see that Siena is only the right player or 2 away from a title run. And 3 away from a potential NCAA win type team. With 4 PG types who can shoot, plus Camper, the upside jumps to like a top 80 team just because of them. You have 4 guards capable of 4 APG and scoring 14+ PPG...that would be unheard of. By all means go after this guy HARD. Get a guy like that and all of sudden the Orlando Tourney could matter for at large consideration.

Barry not the most athletic kid- so will probably keep offers down to A10 and below -- but who knows some P5 program could want him as a 10 min a game sharpshooter

Lineup would be Pickett-Berry-Carey-Camper-Bigtobenamedlater. Carpenter would come off the bench. I think it absolutely does matter to the kid. If you show him a team that already has two guys who average 15+ PPG and handle the ball a lot, he’s going to see his role being relegated to spot-up shooter. There’s absolutely a role for him, but he’s probably going to have better options either in terms of role or in terms of level. Makes it tough.

If I remember correctly Barry desperately wanted to come to Siena but we didn’t offer him... wanted him to be a PWO... more terrific recruiting by Jimbo!

I'm not sure he was desperate to come to Siena- but he was definitely interested- I've seen him play several times, not the most athletic kid, but a tough nosed SOB that can shoot the lights out -- he is a kid we should definitely reach out to for sure

If good players always need to be 1st or 2nd options on a team, how will any team ever get good? Saints have 4 guys averaging 14+ points right now. How many times would he need to handle the ball? With a 1-4 like that, you're gonna be putting up 80+ a night. Plenty to go around. Imagine if you replaced Hein with Barry on this team? Probably score 80 with just that 5..and that's without a bench. Now add a potentially better bench...80+ points easy. If scoring over 400 points in a season while possibly winning a title and more isn't good enough for a kid...he's probably not thinking straight.

While I agree you have a point-- all kids want to play in the NCAA's- Dartmouth as been bad to mediocre Barry's time there- staff could sell him as kid to put us over the top for NCAA run

It might raise Siena enough to allow them to turn some heads. Still, most every program will be looking at a 44% three point shooter and drooling in the same manner as we would.
