maybe it was more $$$$.anyway, the big loss is Rob Robinson backing out. loosing a forward really hurts.

I guess its good to have Ron R back out now and give howie a chance to figgure out if he should get someone to replace him; rather than dealing with a bombshell early next season.
I dont think that there is anyone left to recruit (big men anyway)

Sobers is back in...... lets see the game he brings for next season. If Howie keeps that guard that was reported instead of tanking him and looking for a for a forward/center, what will the lineup look like?

PG - Tristan Blackwood
F - Jason Hick
SF - Demario
SG - Javier
F/C - ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Good luck to Anthony at SHU.... It looks like SH is getting some horsepower coaches to pull out some better play for next season. If SHU does not make it to the NEC conference.. Bike is out.. and so is Anthony.

Howie must be scratching his head on what to next...

The PF/C position has to be filled by MIddleton, Sobers, or Ingo. Personally, I would feel comfortable with the lineup as follows:

PG: Tristan
SG: Jefferson
SF: Demario
PF: Obie
C: Middleton


We were going to be a perimeter based offense with Robinson here anyway. From everything I heard, he was not a scorer. He was simply a good defender and rebounder. At least with Middleton we can get some blocked shots, even if he doesn't score. I also think Tristan could be a breakout player (similar to Demario). Tristan, demario, obie, and Lenny gives us 4 scorers on the floor, and Middleton (hopefully) can block some shots.

Wow I didn't expect a Courant article the next day with all those details. I had read about Phil's announcement at Manhhattan from other sources, but Latina moving to SHU was a shock. And the return of Sobers and release of Robinson is quite a twist.

Agreed that it is much better to take care of this during the summer, but they have their hands filled - still recruiting, hiring 2 asst. coaches, and working on the upcoming schedule.
