People freaking out that the roster doesn't have enough guards are forgetting that GMac said he wanted a big athletic team. That means big guards. I suspect both Ducharme and Coyle will be part of Siena's guard rotation - their game is more guard, less forward despite their 6'7 height. Same as Prosper Karangwa was. My guess is he'll run 3 guards, and 3 bigs. The 5 will be occupied by Brafford & Carey, the 4 by Wilmouth, Ojo, and Jones, the 1 by Freeman and and Shoats, and the other two spots divvied up by everyone else. GMac will probably play 9-10 guys, so with two spots yet to be filled, It'll be interesting to see who doesn't make the playing rotation. I think most here would like to see Jakai Sanders re-recruited for one of the two open spots, but it's looking like that ship has sailed. It really doesn’t matter if they call someone a guard or a forward. I fully expect that when they announce Siena’s starting lineup at the first game this season, there will be three “guards” introduced. But if you’re not quick enough to guard the other team’s 2, and are matched up against their 3 on defense, then you’re a forward, no matter what they call you. There was a ton of hate (some deserved, some not as much) towards Lisa Long on here but reality is she was ahead of the times. I have to imagine every one of the agents for players is including what position they will be listed at as part of their demands to sign. Might as well assume the listed position for any player going forward is just what they and their agent envision is the position they can make the most cash at. |

I think its imperative that the last 2 schollies are filled with experienced, battle-tested veterans. IF anyone put the amount of D-1 minutes each one of the kids above has played, there would be a mass panic on the board. Guessing Jackson is easily #1, and then a big drop off. Meaning we have a lot of question marks that could turn out great, and just as easily go the other way. Earlier this week you were all in on the high school kid who was considering not reclassifying. Can’t have it both ways. I’d like a Knapp/Tay Fisher type shooter and then best available. Should have some good NIL money left and there is still a lot of talent in the portal. I'll ALWAYS want a HS kid thats better than the MAAC....always. Especially from the City Rocks. (Im not that confident we get him, and I think he's going to prep school). He'd be the big, shooting guard/wing we need, but i could wait til '25..... and I'd still vote for the 6'7" 230 senior for the other one. |

Her presentation was lacking and the hype for Lavon was overbearing. Ahead of her time, maybe, but it was more Lavon was ahead of his time, PPC would’ve really fancied nil. In that regard she was ahead of the times with the Lavon merch. |

How can I find sound. On Reid D. .? Click on the speaker icon on the bottom right (if it has an x on the icon sound is off) and make sure your computer is not muted. |
