News must be that slow to talk about an incoming HS kid from an 0-16 team.

xalva66: Any word on Hunter regarding this upcoming season?

[xalva66]

I got nothing.

Bubbachuck: All-Cuny as freshman and greatest rebounder in CUNY history? I really do not know what to say that.

[BubbaChuck3]

its a good thing i wasnt holding my breath for your opinion then huh Xalva?

[Rhodes Scholar]

BubbaChuck3: I never saw Romeo play. How does he compare to George Kunkel? From your description they seem to be similar, although Kunkel does not have great range on his jumper.

[BubbaChuck3]

In regards to a comparison. Kunkle is a much better low post threat. However, Romeo may posses a better motor in regard to getting to the ball. And Romeo plays all out, whereas Kunkle has lapses. However, I am not completely familiar with Kunkle so from what I do know, that is my opinion.

[xalva66]

Are you guys seriously comparing an incoming freshman to a former all CUNY player?

[Danny Weismuller]

haha..

all this hype is going to make xalva and his hawks try to totally shut down this kid when they play him...

pretty funny

[xalva66]

Danny,

The only reason I am blasting Bubbachuck is because, no one should compare any incoming freshman to a current/former CUNY all-conference player. It is completely disrespectful to do such a thing until that incoming freshman has earned his stripes by actually playing in the conference and competing before anyone calls him an all Conference player as a freshman and the greatest rebounder in CUNY history. I have heard so many stories when recruiting HS players. These kids are expecting D1 scholarships or want to walk on a D1 team. They end up not playing in their Freshman year and then leave after their Sophomore years. I understand that bringing in Freshman is always a positive for any program. But some of them are so "gassed" by their HS coaches that they do not even look at a D3 CUNY school. This is why I got so aggravated when someone is hyping such a player. I will guarantee you that Hunter will not prepare for him unless he is averaging 20 ppg and 15 rpg before they play.

hey is marlon smith coming back to hunter

[xalva66]

I have no idea what is going at Hunter.

[Rhodes Scholar]

hey is marlon smith coming back to hunter

It' ll be interesting to see if Marlon Smith comes back to Hunter. As far as I can tell, he played a full year at Penn State in 2004. He played half a year at Penn State in 2005 because of medical issues. He played a full year at Robert Morris in 2007. And he played half a year at Hunter in 2008. Like I said earlier, I don't know what all this adds up to. Maybe he will be back this season.

[bxballer]

that a 4 years  i dont think cuny would allow him to play another year
