Eley, Tekin and Frazier gone.
Next up Smith, Birgsson, Owens (though I think he’s already gone)
This will open up 6 scholarships with two (Moore and Sanders)
Then we see about Evbagharu, Durugordon, Gribben, Gio, Ojo and Coyle.

The portal should be a place where the most/more talented players seek a larger stage and now more money. When a school has a "project point guard" (Tekin) and a border-line D1 player (Frazier) entering the portal, it speaks volumes. It's not even that there is a lot of talent ahead of them on the team that they are seeking playing time. Call me a fair weather fan or not a fan at all, but sticking around for the last decade and a half hoping things would get better is like being in a toxic relationship. I'm out for now. Get a decent team on the floor and win a few meaningful games and I will be back. Frankly, I've got better things to do with my time. They’re being run off. Simple as that. I said this weeks ago and most said I was wrong but doesn’t appear I am.

Siena has to stop saying this is a “players’ program”. It should be a program that benefits the school and the fans that support the program; not for the benefit of players that are looking to solely move up.

MTS you seem to know it all. Which Saints players are being runoff and which players are leaving on their own? Inquiring fans want to know.

I can name 3 you wont see in the portal Courtney, Winters and Coyle. Why would they leave? D-2 players getting 30 min a game in D-1. They think they're in Disneyland.

I said this weeks ago and most said I was wrong but doesn’t appear I am. LOL, not a single kid that has left has been run off. They don't want to play for Carm. If Carm is actually allowed to run someone off then the Ice Man would be a good place to start. And everyone should be careful about getting too excited about all the kids that are leaving. If Carm isn't able to find enough replacements then it just gives him the excuse he so desperately wants to give Courtney and Winters their scholarships. And good luck to the next coach running either of those two off once they have their free ride!

Saying Eley was "soft" and quit on the team is a loser's mentality trying to victim blame.He was fully engaged and supportive during his bench tenure and gave what he could as he hobbled up and down the court grimacing. The arm-chair athletes haven't a clue what an athlete who's injured experiences... Let's lay the full blame of our most talented players leaving where it belongs -on Carm and company. Carm of the apathetic, cool, fan insulting, IDGAF demeanor. I also find it interesting that all our players who left or were not "wanted" or "encouraged" to stay all flourished elsewhere ...an intriguing stat. Hope Eley finds this success too. I see him leaving as another feather in the dump Carm hat We watched the games, many live. The body language and enthusiasm was clear. I expect a full recovery for Eley. Good riddens. Blaming the victim? Eley is a victim? Please stop with the stupid comments. He got two free years of education and NIL money that was a bad investment for the program. Siena basketball and the fans were the victims here. that would be "riddance"C-RAT... to your condescending comments. Last time I checked this was a message board for ---drum roll...opinions/comments.

Eley isn’t a victim. “Victim blamimg” comments are clueless, IMO. And thank you for correcting my spelling.
