Is this the CAC room, or has there been a spring makeover to the wildly odd D1 chat room. Maybe you all need to wander over to the Liberty League room.

I hope everyone is having a good summer. Hard to believe it almost time to start with fall sports and then hoops!

Pat Coleman · July 31, 2006, 03:51:52 PM

Wow, nice shots. Thanks for posting.

Coach C · July 31, 2006, 09:05:00 PM

Great pictures!!

Is there pipe smoke generator to create the proper ambiance for the new facility?

ycp · August 02, 2006, 10:44:41 AM

Coach Gamber hasn't smoked the pipe for a number of years so it will just smell like a NEW gym!

I can't wait for everyone to get a first hand look, it certainly is going to be a great place for games.

kitchenrat · August 05, 2006, 02:30:14 PM

I cant wait to see a game in our new home. When can I buy my season ticket?

cuguy · August 06, 2006, 02:59:09 PM

Great looking place, congratulations, York.

It's somehow fitting that the captions for several pics describe them as views "of the floor."

Anyone aware Jerome Habel the one semester player at St. Mary's 2004-05
has signed with San Diego State and Steve Fischer. He was listed as the second
highest rated JUCO big man last season. Played for JC school in Cal. They list him as a Jr. I believe this has to be his fourth school not including Florida State were he first signed.

Matt Letourneau · September 12, 2006, 05:15:21 PM

Huh. No kidding. Here's the press release from SDSU.

They left out the massive drug bust which resulted in his expulsion from St. Mary's in his bio. Unfortunate oversight.

San Diego State Men's Basketball Signs Jerome Habel to NLI
San Bernardino junior college star will join the Aztecs next season

April 12, 2006

SAN DIEGO - San Diego State head coach Steve Fisher announced the signing of Jerome Habel (rhymes with ABLE), a 6-10, 220-pound forward from San Bernardino Valley College to a National Letter of Intent on Wednesday.

Habel, a former top 100 prospect out of high school, was named to the Street & Smith first-team all-sophomore junior college team. He is ranked as the number two junior college prospect in the nation by JucoJunction.com and averaged 16.8 points, 9.2 rebounds and 2.5 blocked shots per game in leading the Wolverines to the quarterfinals of the state tournament in March.

"We are extremely excited to welcome Jerome to San Diego State University and Aztec basketball," Fisher said. "He will provide us with size, experience and athletic ability that will compliment the returning players on the team."

A native of Washington D.C., Habel attended Walt Whitman (Md.) High where he was named to The Washington Post all-metro team as a senior and averaged 20.1 points, 11.1 rebounds, 7.4 assists and recorded six triple-doubles.

Habel joins Jervaugn Johnson (6-6, 225) from Centennial High in Compton, Calif., Jon Pastorek (6-9) from Canyon High in Anaheim, Calif., and Kashif Watson (6-3, 180) from Bishop Gorman High in Las Vegas who signed during the early signing period. Three of the four Aztec newcomers were ranked among the top 100 high school players in their class.

"The addition of Jerome to our three early signees gives us an excellent group of newcomers who will bring versatility to an already excellent group of returnees," Fisher said.

The Aztecs will also add Lorrenzo Wade next season. Wade, who attended San Diego State this season, sat out the 2005-06 season after transferring from the University of Louisville. As a freshman, Wade was selected as one of the top transfers in the nation by Street & Smith's. He played in 35 games and averaged 9.9 minutes as a true freshman on a Cardinal squad that went 35-5 overall, 14-2 in Conference USA and advanced to the NCAA Final Four. Wade has three years of athletic eligibility remaining.

San Diego State posted a 24-9 record in the 2005-06 season, advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2002, claimed its first regular season conference title since 1978 and joined Duke and UCLA as the only three teams from conferences ranked among the top nine in RPI to claim both a regular-season league title outright and a conference tournament championship. The Aztecs could return as many as four starters off last season's team, including Associated Press honorable mention All-American and Mountain West Conference Player of the Year Brandon Heath and second-team all-league performer Mohamed Abukar.

If you go by his past track record he may not last his two years- which is to bad.
If I am not mistaken since he was not a qualifer out of HS he must have his 2 yr. degree to be eligible this season? I would like to see those transcripts. I think a article was written on him while at St Marys that detailed his basketball history up to that point. As I recall he was attending the Marriott School in DC after Walt Whitman HS but it was found that the school didn't exist or the players weren't enrolled so the team folded?
