certainly tons of playing time available for frontcourt players. they could stay near home and play together a lot. i believe they are both 6'7".

thatd work for me

Traore - one from St Johns and the other from Manhattan - two for one family deal???

Here is an interesting transfer hitting the wires...
SEYDOU TRAORE from Manhattan...
6'7" Freshman...from NYC...Averaged 12 PTs/8 Boards and 2 Assists - shot 80% from the line - started most the games he played...
i think we can find a spot (as we did for Coburn and Dubar)

Wishing him luck but my prediction is he'll have nowhere near the impact Estrada had. Good for DD - was a good solider here at HU - can’t see him playing Outside - Guard in the SEC But with his size and athleticism I see him in a different role - I guess he’d be a beast on team that has him finish ...

As is Lual Manyang - bolts from Valpo.

Good Article "Alabama's Aaron Estrada finishes 5-year, 4-school odyssey with Final Four trip, NIL money" by David Brandt - shows a bit of the process that AE went through and how Speedy encouraged and help AE go through the transfer portal. What jumped out at me is how Speedy is coach that...

Later Myles - we hardly knew ya!!

This will be the BIGGEST test for Speedy and his staff having to recruit practically from scratch. Lets see how they do. Most of us have full confidence in this staff. Agree But one thing we must remember - almost ALL the college basketball world is going to be going through and be tested too - the...

I could be wrong, but I think Estrada, who led Hofstra to a road win with 20 points at Hampton on 1/5/23 in front of 147 fans, and who 15 months later, will play in front of over 72,000 at the Final Four, should set the record for the biggest crowd disparity to play before in a career. LOL I hope t...

All the ships be sinking!

that is funny too - they are all shuttling their decks - hate it!

thats pretty funny (and true) - big fan of DD -but have a hard time seeing how he would get his (outside) shot off against a tougher (bigger/quicker) opponent

Jojogunne wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 2:26 pm I'm surprised he stayed this long. Didn't really get much of a chance. I wish him the best.

Ditto - not sure why he stayed as long either - but did his time here and nothing but the best for him,

Rocco Muratori, SBU's 7-3 center, is in the portal: https://stonybrookathletics.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/rocco-muratori/8666 7-3 from West Lafayette? How did he not end up at Purdue, even as Edey's backup and eventual replacement? The Boilermakers collect guys like that and he's from their...

What Dan Hurley says about how he tries to put his UConn rosters together applies to lower-level teams like Hofstra too: “It’s hard to be an elite team if it’s all portal or all high school. You’ve got to have a core of guys that return to your program every year that you build around.” Going forwa...

Dubar leaving sadly had to be expected. But if Dubar lands at St. John's that would still be a gut punch... https://twitter.com/NYPost_Brazille/status/1769799081365209394 I just saw that earlier. It was a gut punch just reading it. Kind of glad HU lost the game at UBS now because it would be even m...

What other Hofstra athlete transferred to Alabama and excelled there?

Softball - Sara Cornell

D-Stone just loving the N.C. air. We need to play more games there! Dubar - has all the tools in a tool box - I always said he was our best player - and still believe that - if he could be more consistent and go to the hoop more he'd be one of the all-time greats here - his size athleticism and abi...

Hofstra in the last three Februarys: 8-2, 8-1, 8-0 (24-3 total).

Speedy = Mr February

(Reggie = Mr October / Jeter = Mr November)

NOW we need a Mr March ... Dubar / Thomas ?????

I am a huge fan of DD - and if he plays another year - I get the idea of him considering a P5 team - for better competition and money - but as big of a fan I am of his I am not sure his outside game converts well against the better P5 teams and players I think DD outside shot is easy for those bette...
