I guarantee there are P5 coaches kicking themselves that they didn't take a closer look at this kid. He's the real deal.

Dubar can play, but is Cramer in the doghouse or are they limiting his minutes because he's banged up? He definitely deserving of more time.

Houston just demolished a supposedly decent Rice team by 33 points. Reading between the lines of the Chronicle preview I linked below, sounds like Ray has a pretty significant ankle injury -- maybe a high ankle sprain? https://www.thehofstrachronicle.com/category/sports/2021/11/8/new-look-pride-buil...

Pulling in a ton of Philly guys. Barrouk, Tomasco, now this kid. If Speedy can keep the NYC/NJ/Philly pipeline strong, we're in good shape. Don't know anything about Farmer, 6'3 is good size and it looks like he can shoot.

Cooks and Estrada are the real deals, them and Ray together are going to be a nightmare matchup. Nobody on the team had more than 3 assists, really speaks to the lack of a true distributor, Ray will only help ball movement. Cramer is chaotic but when he's on the floor good things happen. It's not pr...

I said I'd take a moral victory and yet I'm upset now. Incredible effort, lots to be proud of, but a classic Hofstra choke down the stretch, seen it a million times. Bizarre to not have the ball in Cooks' hands more often in the last two minutes, everyone else had a case of the butterfingers. Lots t...

Man how the hell do you mess up that inbounds play, just unacceptable

The duality of man

Simmons being hurt is really going to underscore the lack of frontcourt depth, hope he's alright

No Ray and we're up 6 at the half. Not starting Cramer is interesting, Cooks looks like the real deal and then some. Team is going to be good.

Houston has a bunch of vets returning, and the transfers they added are seasoned, decorated seniors. They're going to look good. I'm not big on moral victories but this is nonconference with a new coach and a million new players -- if we can even remotely hang, it's a moral victory. It's great to fa...

Not like preseason KenPom is the be-all end-all but here's where our opponents are projected (we're #168): -@Houston #11 -@Duquesne #181 -@Iona #162 -@Maryland #18 -@Richmond #64 -Detroit Mercy #200 -Princeton #164 -Bucknell #302 -@Stony Brook #185 -@Arkansas #15 -@Monmouth #233 Just a brutal schedu...

The NBA has a bunch of contract types that are non-guaranteed or otherwise short-term...basically, if you aren't on the 15-man roster or on a "two-way" contract (this allows you to go between G-League and NBA and is only available to players in their rookie or 2nd year) you're on some kind...

Feels bizarre, huge step down in competition -- maybe a case where he thought there was a pro opportunity lined up, fell through, and then HU didn't have the scholarships left for him to return? Don't know enough about how the technicalities of a player who has graduated/officially moved on trying t...

Agree completely with Polito. Ray alone is reason to be optimistic -- 1st team CAA, shouldered a big jump in usage last year with no efficiency drop. Cramer is a beast and could easily be a top-10 impact player in this league. Cooks, Iyiola and Estrada are proven high-level performers at the mid-maj...

I think Estrada is going to look great as a playmaking 3 -- at St. Peter's he drew a lot of fouls, could really pass the ball, high-usage guy. Then at Oregon it looks like they asked him to stand in the corner (3pt rate way up, usage way down, foul-drawing way down). Dubar should get plenty of swing...

Final score was 141-81. Hell with 91 points i'd be impressed if he was doing it against middle schoolers. That's a lot of buckets.

Best of luck to him, one of the best athletes in Hofstra history.

Like this pickup as a long-term developmental prospect and it's encouraging that Speedy continues to get guys from the Philly area who may end up being diamonds in the rough -- Barrouk, Tomasco...If you can pull from NYC/NJ/Philly you're going to be just fine in the recruiting department. Seems to h...

Yeah it's wishful thinking until we have more info...it's possible we aren't even in the conversation. I do think we make sense though. He'd get unlimited PT here with a strong cast of guards to feed him opportunities. I understand a mid-major isn't always at the top of these guys' lists, but they s...
