That should fortify his backcourt needs a considering between Green (6'1" 185) and Baker (6'1" 195) they lost almost 23ppg and 6 assists plus some very good physical "D". Lucas and Hailey are both 6'1" and 175 I can't see them being as physical and they'll have to pick up alot of offense. With that said I do think that they are solid picks.

Lucas can't shoot! He is a very good defender!

From what I hear, Lucas is a great defender and a true point guard. So while Bing will miss Green's offense, he nor Baker were really what you would call true point guards and neither one was great at passing the ball. With Bing's big men a good passer and defender is what they can use in the backcourt.

As for Hailey(sp?), the word is that he's a hell of a shooter, but a little weak defensively. Look for him to come off the bench, as Bing has plenty in the 2-3 positions.

Is Bing's recruiting class now complete? Adedirian, Hailey, Lucas, and Todd?

Todd has been enrolled all year. Transfered in from Air Force. Hailey has been enrolled since January. I hear from friends that they have two more scholarships left.

Lucas averaged 7.5 pts, 2.1 rbs, and 3.2 assists this past year at Redlands CC. That's not too impressive, so I hope he's a good defender as everyone is saying.

long ways off but here is the most likely rotation for binghamton. ridiculous even to consider this at this point but just for fun.
Starters
Lucas - Junior
Carter - Senior
Todd - Junior
Adediran - Junior
Billings - Junior
Bench
Hermenier - Sophomore
Casseus - Sophomore
Watson - Senior
Williams - Junior
Hailey - Freshmen
White - Junior
Karis - Non scholie Sophomore
2 more scholies left to give, probaly a freshmen big (hopefully a space-eater to complement billings) and a freshmen point. Maybe like last year we'll pick up a transfer. is olomo done?

Don't be surprised if Binghamton brings in two more JUCO's! They need to bring in a guy that can create offense. Lucas can't! He can't shoot a lick! but he is a good defender. Todd is a spot up shooter and Carter doesn't break anyone down off the dribble, he's just a solid all around player. I think Walker will bring in a guy that can create off the dribble. Don't be so quick to put Adediran in the starting line-up. He didn't start for his own JUCO team. I know Seward CC is good but not that good! It will be Billings team next year!

I'd guess Hermenier as starter at the 4 -- he'll be good once he gets the mental part of the game down and finishes more consistently, both things I think will come this year when he's (hopefully) healthy.
And if Lucas isn't supposed to be a scorer, then why bring him in? Why can't Watson start then? Seems to me Walker has something against Watson, perhaps a Michael Wright situation all over again? Brett hasn't gotten a chance - he deserves it. He's one of the hardest workers and really doesn't complain outwardly about the bad situation he's in. If I was him, I would have left.

Watched Watson when he was at UCONN and followed his career since he transfered to Bing.

First year eligible at Bing, he played with a broken hand, and wasn't very effective.

This year he was in the shadow of Green and Baker, who were both a lot physically tougher than Brett. He had some chances, but didn't demonstrate either the shooting ability of passing ability to break down any defenses.

From what I saw of him at UCONN, he was (is) a great kid, and seems to be dealing with his present lack of playing time like a man. He'll probably get some more chances as a senior, and I certainly hope that he capitalizes on them.

Watson had one of the best assist-to-turnover ratio's in the league. I wouldn't have played Green or Baker less, but I sure hope Watson gets a chance this year. He's quick and a pretty good defender -- not physical like Baker, but still good. I'm just surprised they would sign a PG that's not a scorer. I figured they'd at least try to get a guy like Anthony. We'll see what develops.
