If this was year 1 of the Sha era, I'd agree. I think we need to set that precedent. We're staring 5 years of no tournament in the face. Do what you gotta do to make the tournament. Assemble the best team you can at this point. Take pride and moral victories out of the equation at this point.
This guy is talented. Don't know the full story of what happened last season. They called it an eligibility issue. Bronx native who went to The Patrick School.
Yeah losing a major player to potential uconn/st johns and replacing him with a guy who hasnt player in 2 years is something
Maybe not as bad as many think. Getting two quality PF's might help and they can play in the middle if they have the size and talent. It would cost less but clearly having Hines return would have been better. But not at the cost he is asking $4M-$5M.
Of course, but regarding the Pirates it might be better cost wise to bring in multiple PFs and have them play the 4-5 positions.
Then concentrate on swings and guards, hopefully with height.

I can’t think of any other reason but his grades or test scores. How else do you miss an entire season healthy in this day and age of no rules?
We could do worse than a MAAC rookie of the year.
All I found after a quick search was a Manhattan announcement in Oct 2025 that he was dealing with an eligibility issue "through no malfeasance of his own" . Was allowed to practice and travel.
Was MAAC Rookie of the Year as well.
Bringing in PF to play the post/center position is not going to bring success and not going to make them happy or want to come here. I can see the conversation: Yes come to SHU and although you are a PF when you come here you will be turned into an undersized center. That will not go well. We tried that with Payne and by the end of the season he was not performing well.
I can't remember the last time a kid from any school, in any sport, was academically ineligible. I assumed NIL rules forbid it

He just recently hit the transfer portal after sitting out last season due to injury. But in his freshman season at Manhattan, he had a really good year in 2024 averaging 13.9 points and 6.8 rebounds per game on 45.1% shooting from the field.

The implication is that they’re so skinny they can’t even grow a mole on their ***.
I’ll take one skinny kid at those positions if he can play. This is where we’re shopping.
Ginny Sac had a 95lb mole removed.....from her ***!!
