The high school stats are actually pretty impressive and sell me on this kid. I just don’t know why we needed Arrington if we were going to get this a couple days later. Grad big still to come. What’s weird is the kid committed to Siena last week but never was published until this weekend so Siena took this commitment and then the Arrington commitment as well. Maybe that’s why they are making Arrington pay own way this year. If I am Young, am I now looking to make a jump thinking they recruited over you?

If I'm honest, I still like all our other options better than these 2 new guys.
Others are more athletic and skilled off the bounce and Young might still be better as the tough rebounder.
If BK weighed like 230 right now instead of like 205, I wouldn't even be that worried.

If Siena is going to play at a much quicker pace in the near future, we are going to need multiple players (3?) at the 5 to be able to play at that pace. I can see us going 10+ deep each game if we're running and have the talent depth wise. It would be exciting basketball.

Siena carried 3 centers last season (Burns, Friday, Young) so what is the big deal?
Obviously need one of them or a grad transfer to be immediately eligible for next season.

And we are only eating into our scholarships two years down the line. Is like getting 4 Matt Heins. What's not to love here?

If BK weighed like 230 right now instead of like 205, I wouldn't even be that worried. I think even without a grad transfer there are a lot of intriguing options at the 5 for next year: 1. Young makes a sophomore leap, turns into a solid MAAC starter 2. Tate is big enough to play the 5 for significant minutes, we run a lot of smaller versatile lineups 3. Golson, with his 7-foot wingspan and athleticism, is more of a small 5 or can play 5 in extended stretches 4. BK can play the 5 immediately There's uncertainty in all of those options, and Denzel is the other other true big man on the roster so we should definitely still look to add a guy for next year. But by 2021-22 I'd feel more confident in options 1 and 4, and we'd have a better sense of if Tate or Golson can play the 5, so I wasn't too worried. Certainly not worried enough to burn 2 additional ships on the position for that year.

I mean, it's not like he came in here with immediate success by improving past coach's recruits and suddenly started bringing in questionable guys in his second year. Oh wait, one guy is currently employed by Siena while the other is not so no similarities here at all.

Time for our two new recruits to start a regimen to lose about 20 lbs of baby fat,turn it into muscle and to develop some agility and mobility. Got a year to get it done so get started!

The biggest difference to last year is one of the three was a stud and the other two proved to be useful D-I role players. The three slated to be on scholarship in '21-'22 consist of one useful role player and two that have legitimate questions about whether they are DI players at all.

This is what I was saying. Carm wants three true 5 men on the active roster. Arrington is not playing next year regardless (and won’t be on scholarship). Unless the wavier/sitout is changed Stormo won’t be playing either. So next year you have Young and Tate (hopefully right away) and likely a grad transfer TBD. The following year Young, Tate and the two newcomers but Tate likely takes Manny’s spot so now you have Young, Arrington and Stormo.

Well I guess it’s all over for Siena’s resurgence. All is lost. It was a good almost one year run. Is it time to look for a new coach or do we allow Siena to sink slowly into the abyss and let this guy oversee a five year decline before we let him go? Get real guys, stay calm and step back from the edge.
