“I don’t want to be the type that says we’re the top, I want to prove that we are the top,” Long said.
That is the right mentality to have. Very impressive especially with Lavon only being a sophomore. Lavon Long and Marquis Wright (along with the other super sophomores) with home-court the next 3 years?? I'll say this the MAAC better get us this year or they could be looking at a re-peat three-peat. Siena has not been this good on paper since Fran's last year. That's not to say this team will only lose one MAAC game - that was a senior dominated twice NCAA winning team but this team has a lot of talent, depth and is well coached.
I haven't looked forward for a season this much in five years! We're 10 days away from the first official practice and 52 days until tip-off vs. UMass! Can't wait...Let's go SAINTS!!!

"The Saints just win their first postseason championship in school history ... ."
I know I'm picky but Ryan should know better. He could have qualified it with first D-1 postseason championship but he didn't. Too bad.
Like the article even though he got the post season championships incorrect.

Poor article, "returns almost every key contributor ". Steve Cruz is a great kid but I don't think he was a key c. I watched practice today most of the returnees looked improved some more than others. Cole ran with the first team and looked good. Of newcomers Wilhelm not afraid to shoot from the outside, Paige has a 3 point shot. Gottfried looks fundamentally sound but didn't play much in the scrimmages between two 8 man teams ( 5 at a time of course) .Jimmy is hard to please ; constantly saying play hard and have fun. I won't quote more of his remarks.

As promised Patsos gave the returning players a chance to earn time. He did not recruit them or evaluate their games before they came to Siena. At the ebd of the day some earned starting spots or time off the bench while 2 of the freshmen started all year. The guys not brought in by Patsos that could not earn time moved on. I said this on day one. Everyone is happy now.... no hard feelings or burned bridges #OneHappyFamily

Maybe Poole doesn't want to explore a pro career overseas but if he has a big senior year like we expect/hope he will I would imagine he'll have an opportunity to keep playing for pay someplace.

Any successful coach isn't going to be loyal to any recruit. He will play the best guys to get him wins. Wins are job security.
