MBB recruits 2015
Re: MBB recruits 2015
any news on who is transferring out?
Re: MBB recruits 2015
I have not heard any more about who is leaving...anyone else?? It has got to be either Gonzales, Walker, or Robinson....If one of these 3 hope it is Robinson....Rokas is our only true post up player...Djambo once in a while and same goes for Koon...both these guys are on the thin side...wish we had one more legit post up guy to back up Rokas for next season

Re: MBB recruits 2015
Polito, you know he can't do that because of various NCAA rules among other competitive reasons and to safeguard the kids info as well.
By the way I sent coach a congratulatory email and he replied with thks and says he is livin the dream.

Re: MBB recruits 2015
Interesting little piece about Koon back when his destination was up in the air... I didn't realize some of the programs he was involved with - may be a bigger grab than I'm giving credit for...and REALLY hoping that's the case - just a little concerned about the injuries - this take seems to speak to that, the injuries are a red flag, but the dude can play, there's no question when this guy is healthy he can make an impact
IF, *IF*, he is ready to rock, he could be a huge lift to this team, to the post production, and help them get over the hump in the CAA

Re: MBB recruits 2015
Polito I agree he will be a big asset but as more of a SF player. The article you cite even says it. "But despite being 6’8″, the forward isn’t a post up, back-to-the-basket kind of guy. The most rebounds he’s ever averaged in a season has been 3.5."Polito wrote:Interesting little piece about Koon back when his destination was up in the air...

Re: MBB recruits 2015
That Koon isn't a true big is slightly concerning as I've heard the same kind of thing about Djambo.
Re: MBB recruits 2015
Know what you mean, although in JM's system that's prob what works best - def a lot of positives with an athletic 6'8 guy who's not a rail that can run the floor and handle the ball when it comes to him
Add on to that great character, which STILL is a top priority with this program, and will/should be for quite some time...
that said, it's up to Gustys to be the main load in the paint this year, with Walker adding defensive prowess

Re: MBB recruits 2015
Lets hope Walker is staying Polito....Rokas has potential to be an all conference player by jr & sr years
Re: MBB recruits 2015
In this system it would be great if a big had hands who can catch the passes from Green.
Re: MBB recruits 2015
Walker will still be with the program IMO

Re: MBB recruits 2015
Jon Rothstein reporting that UConn transfer Terrence Samuel is visiting Hofstra this weekend. Defense-oriented point guard who will have to sit out but after that he'll have two years of eligibility.
Re: MBB recruits 2015
So between Terrance Samuel and Khalil Dukes it looks like the final scholly isgoing to another point. Perhaps Gonzalez will leave.
Re: MBB recruits 2015
He had better be a great defender and ball handler/passer......played 20 min per game last year areraging 3 PPG. Had no 3-pointers all season. Obviously not a shooter.
Re: MBB recruits 2015
He played 20 minutes per game at a high major...he can play for us and play well.

Re: MBB recruits 2015
Samuel would be a great pick-up! He was a 3* on ESPN and had notable offers from Fred Hoilberg at Iowa State as well as URI. More importantly, he played major minutes on a high major team that won 20 games. He's 6'4'', 200 lbs. and defensively focused... Sounds like just what the doctor ordered. Really hope we close this guy this weekend!
