Well, well, well. I have been trying to figure this one out for days (with the St.John player defections and all). We have been hearing through the grapevine that UA is choosing to offer there final scholly to a foreign big man who will help us this year, or a Big East/ACC transfer big man who would come in w/ Jordan next year. This has been reported on the UA board but, as seen in the Times Union article this weekend, Brown has been tight lipped about the whole thing. Brown basically has to make a decision for future or immediate help.
If this is the kid, even though he rode BE pine (which is what we heard we were getting---a pinerider), he will significantly deepen our front court. We would have 6'6 Levine, 6'6 Knotts, the 7 footer, 6'9 Banks and 6'8 Hughes---all as juniors, 6'6 Wyatt as a senior, 6'8 Martin as a soph, and possibly 6'6 Hillaire as a walk-on. Not to shabby for a team who could't rebound! Plus we would have Jordan, Iati, and Wilson at the guards (and probably one more coming in 2004-05 (we will have 2 scholly's left I believe).
I wonder how this pans out.
Rather interesting that this hit the BC board.

He's gotta be an impact in the AE! He's gotta be better then Rowe was!

Hey czar -- animal, 21:30:11 05/19/03 Mon
While you seem to have some clue, why do you continue to be so one-sided in your postings? No doubt if UNH or Hartford was going to get this kid instead of Albany, you'd be calling him a D-2 player, but since he is going to UA he is going to be an "impact player".
As least most of the other posters on here are objective about other schools. You are just a joke...

Though the CZAR is quite onesided in his opinions and evaluations I think he may be right on this one.
If the rumor has any truth, I don't think Brown would sign the kid unless he felt the kid could be an impact player at this level.
As we all know,UA needs help now and for Brown to give a scholarship to a kid to sit a year I think speaks volumes about what Brown thinks of the kid. That is of course if there is any truth to the "RUMOR"!!!!!

Re: Unsubstantiated Rumor about Albany -- so predictable, 13:01:37 05/20/03 Tue
So predictable. Had this 7 ft pinerider been rumored to transfer to any other AE school, you would classify him as a division 2 player with no skills. Its no wonder you have no credibility. Albany has an awful lot of "impact" players for a last place program, no?

No one is hyping this kid as the second coming..., but if you look at the plight of UA Hoops there is a need of big bodies and this is surely a big body. Evidently Coach feels that the kid could contribute at the AE level. It's worth the gamble.
When you have been humiliated on the boards your priority is to find Big Men and if you are going to roll the dice why not do it with a 7 footer whose brother played DI in the real MAC.

Re: High School Stats -- AE NUT!!!, 18:14:13 05/20/03 Tue
Looks like a very good get for Albany! Great size and strength. BC has a pro up front in PF Craig Smith and Doorenkamp is 7' and a perimeter guy who compliments Smith. They also have UKa Agbai. Not many minutes available. Justin Rowe was very limited but he was effective in the AE and he came from an NAIA school! This kid and Lucious Jordan(Loyola transfer) will make Albany very good in two years!

For real? I'm sure the BC fans would love to hear this.
Will Zoellner be the biggest guy to ever play in the America East?

Re: High School Stats -- Patch, 12:37:26 05/23/03 Fri
Regardless of his HS or Collegiate stats he has drilled and worked out for 2 years at the Big East level and now Coach Brown will have a year to watch him and figure out how to utilize him best.
It shouls also help next years recruiting knowing 2 transfers are sitting out, maybe we can steal a real good POWER FORWARD I think Brown has one lined up already but you know "what coulda shoulda"
