Why couldnt Pickett leave last year? He wouldn't have had to sit. Did Carey sit? Did Stormo sit? He was coming off a POY year, and would've been a hot commodity. Players are just like coaches with their version of "coachspeak." The answer to a lot of your questions ARE right in front of your face, but some of you refuse to see it. You mean there could be some root causes that fans aren’t recognizing or admitting 😎

The kid prolly saw Carey do well and make a tournament...Pickett thinks he can do better and that is fine.
My take all of his teammates have left, his original coach left, so why stay? Everything he seemed to enjoy about the program has changed. I know this is now the new norm, but if you are allowed one free transfer year in your 4 years, then Carm should be building his roster with transfers and 1 or 2 true freshman (currently has 3 signed, not one will make it 4 years if they are good).

Fuller get that D-3 HC job yet? Most coaches dont leave until they get another job. Must be the Covid/transfer rule. Thats the obvious reason for everything

The NCAA created the transfer portal mess. Jalen is 1 of 1300 plus D1 players taken advantage of the opportunity presented. He has been clear for a few years that his goal is to play in the NBA (though personally I think that is a very longshot). How many Siena players make it to the NBA? How many MAAC players make it to the NBA? Jalen probably seized the opportunity to play at a higher level in hopes that it will help him fulfill his NBA dream. Not saying I agree with any of it. But I can how see he got there.

While that may be true, the journey is obviously easier from a tier 1 level conference and not a low level mid-major one.

Fuller get that D-3 HC job yet? Most coaches dont leave until they get another job. Must be the Covid/transfer rule. Thats the obvious reason for everything Wasn’t Carey a graduate transfer, which made him eligible immediately? Harris was in isolation and quarantined for well over a month & counting, he went home. I’m not sure he even stepped foot in the practice facility while he was here. Tate was a problem child and RI had him pegged, where is he now? King stated he didn’t have problems with the program and had personal issues. Why doubt him? BK wasn’t getting minutes, and saw the writing on the wall. He transfers now and still gets 4 years and the chance to play immediately. Camper graduated and wants to earn a living. Jalen’s most likely going to a P6 program. It’s now or never, I don’t blame him for making a move under the current rules. There’s 1300 and growing daily in the portal, this isn’t solely a Siena issue it’s systemic D1 wide. Unfortunately I don’t even think JP is the last Siena player to enter the portal. NCAA hoops is a mess. You’re coming off Covid which turned pretty much every facet of life upside down. You’re insinuating Carm is a problem? So you want to fire Carm? Then what? I think he deserves the benefit of doubt at this juncture. Not saying Carm isn’t under a lot of pressure, it’s all his guys going forward. I’m willing to see what he’s got. No doubt it’ll take a year + to regroup. I want to see who he brings in this his year before we burn him at the stake... it’s still early. I get it the optics don’t look good. However, nothing has been close to NORMAL for over a year.

Carey was a grad transfer which made him immediately eligible. I’m curious if Pickett is thinking of doing 2 years at his new school. If he’s only doing 1 he is going to end up with a lot of college credits and no degree.

If he’s only doing 1 he is going to end up with a lot of college credits and no degree. I’d guess one year and he’ll want to get paid. He probably doesn’t want to be 23 years old still playing for free. But I do wish Jalen well. Siena needs to hit the trail/portal very hard. The good programs are always replacing good players with other good players. There is no long term plan if you want to be an elite mid major program. You win every year despite who moves on.

Carey was a grad transfer which made him immediately eligible. So I guess MAAC transfers Kelly, Marfo, Scott, Vaughn, Paulicap, Salnave and Estrada were all grad transfers too?? Stormo a grad transfer? ALL transferred and played right away. The "no sit transfer" rule started last year.
