I think Manny Camper explodes this year. He's easily the best athlete on the team (havent seen Pickett in person yet) and showed me something by staying. Kids with alot to prove usually do.

If the new kids on the roster this year are as good as the kids who were on the roster last year that left the team, and the rest of the roster that stayed remains equal or better to how they were against the MAAC last year, and JC as a game coach can make a 3pt difference to the positive vs Patsos on both the offensive side and defensive mayhem side of the ball each and every league game of the year, last year's team would have gone 10-8 in league play vs their actual 4-14 league record. So that's my personal expectations for this year's team - 10-8. This is not out of the realm of possibility. I’ll give them a little room and expect 9-9 😀

Season start:
Smithen 25/Richard 10/Darwiche and Pickett balance Richard 15/Picket 15/Smithen and others balance Camper 15/Huerter 10/Shivers 10/Smithen and Pickett balance Huerter 10/Camper 10/Shivers 10/Seymour 5/Smithen and Sr. bigs balance Friday 20/Fisher 15/Degnan 5
Mid Season:
Darwiche 25/Smithen 10/Richard and Pickett balance Pickett 20/Richard 10/Smithen 10 Camper 20/Huerter 10/Shivers and Smithen balance Huerter 15/Camper 10/Shivers 10/Seymour and Sr. bigs balance Friday 20/Fisher 15/Degnan 5
This assumes a number of things -
1. Darwiche actually makes it here 2. Manny's athleticism makes him indispensible defensively 3. Shivers takes a step back to depth piece - this could be a bad assumption 4. Seymour shows he's not ready - I'm not liking the effort/body language I'm seeing in the little clips of the workouts that have been released

Had it all figured out.

Darwiche, Pickett, Camper, Seymour, Friday. People who are down on Seymour will be surprised. About the first thing Christian did upon getting the job was get Seymour on campus and signed. There is a reason for that. People who buy Patsos' claims about Friday forget he played his most minutes and best games against the best, most athletic teams on the schedule- 13 minutes vs Charleston, 16 against FGCU, 24 vs Louisville, 15 vs UAlbany, 20 vs Memphis. If he could play with those teams, no reason to believe he couldn't play more against all the others.

If he could play with those teams, no reason to believe he couldn't play more against all the others. The issue with Friday was all about stamina, ask anyone who has been to a practice in the last year. He’s good for 3-4 minutes, then he becomes useless quickly. Only game you listed in which he was actually able to sustain energy was Louisville, in which he was runnng on pure emotion and energy. Unless that stamina changes, and I’m not confident that it will, he’s much better suited in a bench role where he can come in and bring energy and effort. If I’m Jamion, I’m telling Sammy to give 110% on both ends for 3-4 minutes, then take him out before he becomes a huge hurt to the team. And also (not directed at anyone in particular), let’s not inflate what Sammy is (as we all have a tendency to do with guys who got into JP’s doghouse IE Kinnon and Willem). He’s a very big body who rebounds well in traffic, but can’t switch any screens, has bad post footwork, and doesn’t really protect the rim. He’s far from the perfect fit for the new system (though he may fit better than anyone else we have).

Happy 4th all.
Mark my word; Sammy will play extended minutes and be very productive in those minutes for his last two years at Siena.
Double - Double is my prediction.

I believe that Huerter was greatly confused by Patsos's "coaching?" I believe he will show much more this year. I also watched the Romanian - Netherlands game and the Romanian young man added great speed to that team and demonstrated very good court awareness. I think he is a very good passer.

Now that is really a strong prediction! Wouldn't we all love to see that. He certainly seems like a nice kid. I hope you're right. I would be thrilled with him coming back his junior year and evolving into an important part of the rotation. Sammy averaging 10 points and six or seven rebounds per would go a long way in establishing something positive with our frontcourt.

He’s far from the perfect fit for the new system (though he may fit better than anyone else we have). Not arguing with your analysis of Friday. If all your statements are true, and yes seem to be, than JC must make decision and either cut him loose or waste a scholarship for 2 years. My take on the situation is that if a player doesn’t fit the new system, or is recruited wrongly by the school the school steps up and makes sure the player lands someplace that is a better fit. Now if the same player comes in out of shape and just F’s off the door open and he is gone school owes him nothing. Unfortunately D1 hoops is a business, if the NCAA were to implement some sort of rules where the school is liable,to make,sure the players is taken care of bet you see less transfers.

Who is the governing body of the NCAA? Are the smaller schools proportionately represented? There are many more of them than large Universities. It just seems to me that many of the decisions made by the NCAA relate more to the large government ( tax payer supported) schools and put a heavy burden on the small independent schools
