MBB: State University of New York Athletic Conference

[bports]

jacketfan there are 5 frosh on bports roster and i dont believe any of the played. I do remember his name on the roster sheet, what was his deal in HS? scorer or role player?

[Jacketfan2011]

Well, I guess he did a little bit of everything.  Defense mostly but scored when needed, a decent ballhandler.  He was the Class C Co-Player of the Year

Not sure how Gutzman has any eligibility left. I know he played when P-State had Ostrander. He probably took a couple of years off from school. Cards can you explain that to me.

[thebear]

If my memory serves me right, If he went directly to the military, the clock stops and starts again once he enrolls following military service.

"...Cards can you explain that to me..."

I will call and ask tomorrow, I recall the name also, but haven't been an active alum until mid-season last year.
Too busy recovering and looking for new work.

Hello this is my first time posting here. I was just wondering after reading the recent posts.  After Brockport and Plattsburgh how do people here see the rest of the conference shaping up.  And for the record if your looking for a voice of a fan of the O-State Red Dragons, I guess I'll be up for that role.  Looking forward to an interesting season.

On a side note I don't know all the tba but for Oneonta and New Paltz they go against Nazareth and Rochester, wins against either of those teams can send a message to look out for the SUNYAC. With Rochester being number 9 and Nazareth receiving votes.  Personally I want Oneonta to come out 2-0 but as long as its not 0-2 they have a decent start.
