St. Peter’s freshman guard Aaron Estrada is transferring from Peacock Land, which is a shame for SPU and college basketball. However, our staff recruited him last spring. Having watched him quite a bit this season, I would be happy to take him at SBU in conjunction with a grad transfer PG.
We offered Roberts last nightCurious to know how much attention, if any, you pay to the MAC? Anthony Roberts from Kent State is in the portal and he visited 2 years ago, no idea whose decision it was but he didn’t pick us last time around.

If you can’t contribute more than a point and a rebound per game at Mississippi State, which hasn’t been a national power, then my interest level is pretty low. SBU and the top half of the A10 play a pretty consistently high level of hoops, and it’s a huge misconception that such programs are way down in quality from the mid-to-lower P5s on a nightly basis.We survived the initial cutdown list for Prince Oduro

Oduro should have stayed at Siena. As I always repeat... succeeding early on in one’s career shouldn’t be interpreted as a need to move “up”. It should be interpreted as the player/family making a wise decision from the get-go.
Having said that, I trust Schmidt and Curran. If they want Roberts and/or Oduro, then fine; however, we surely could use some instant contributions behind Lofton and Osunniyi—be they grad transfers, three-year JUCOs, or freshmen.
We need another true point guard and a defensively capable center; from there, just pursue the best player(s) available.
Keep your eyes open for:
Jeremiah Williams
Anthony Roberts
Takorian “TK” Smith
AJ Staton
Abou Ousman
Jalen Haynes
As always, expect a kid or two to come out of the ether and sign.
Yeah. He has an intriguing and physical interior game, but maybe this isn’t a bad thing. Rhody didn’t treat him properly by taking the Mitchell twins a few days after accepting Ousmane’s commitment, but still... it’s a red flag when you commit to three different schools in one cycle.Ousman to the Mean Green of North Texas
I’d be lying if I said I was anything but utterly confused by the addition of Eazy Eddie Creal. It’s a position of solid depth and a 2022 class that is beyond crowded.
Having said that, welcome to SBU, Eddie. You’re one of us now, so let’s party!
I can’t see Alejandro being the odd man out. However raw he was as a freshman, he was also one of the only guards who could create his own shot. That kid is a bull at the rim, and that step back jumper oozes potential. Stick with AJV.How does Adaway profile? I couldn’t find many videos of him from his Miami days, but he looked pretty athletic in high school.
If he turns out to be a solid contributor who gets minutes, does that mean AJ is the odd man out?
