Can anyone tell me about SUNY-Purchase?

Quick, athletic team.  Really expierenced team, whole team is upper classmen, 2 juniors rest are seniors Jeff Charney will have a lot of spots to fill next season.  #4 and #5 are the 2 people to watch out for, not afraid to shoot from anywhere on the court.  Hopefully both them and Cabrini advance on Friday, that'll be a good Saturday matchup

Purchase impressed tonight.  They'll have to be much tougher, more disciplined, and focused to beat Cabrini, though.  If both teams play tomorrow as they did tonight, it won't even be close.

Marcus kahn tends to keep his team focused, Lemons is fine, just a cramp, do not know much except they will double Lemons and that Marcus has a few tricks up his sleeve for the 4 & 5 guys.  Hope you can make it out Hoopsfan.

Any rumblings about coaching changes??

[skylineBOY]

Yes, Coach Chad Charney is getting fired for advertising that his team needs games on the D3 Hoops Message Boards.

[gordonmann]

That's doubtful.  We have a whole message board dedicated just to that purpose.  Lots of coaches could be fired for using it.

I heard Purchase completely stuck out in recruiting...... Can anyone confirm this? Could they be going from first to last?

[CityD3]

Rumor has it that Purchase is getting two DII transfers from dowling, Jake Stevens and Beijon Warrington so purchase is reloaded for next year, if true.

1. Farmingdale
2. Purchase
3. Mt St Marys
4. Old Westbury
5. St. Joes
6. Yeshiva
7. Sage
8. Mt St Vincent
9. Polytech
10. Maritime

[CityD3]

Interesting that you have yeshiva number 6, you know something about their recruiting class??? How about poly gettin a writeup for their recruiting class? coach adams trying to change that culture.

[SKYLINEBOY]

I know Yeshiva didn't graduate or lose anyone of significance. They were pretty solid last year and just as good as Sage, which lost some of their top players. Mt St Vincent graduated alot of talent, lost some good underclassmen and failed to add anyone.

As for Poly, I think Nolan will do a great job there. If they had anyone besides coach Washington last year, they would have won at least 5 conference games. I think they will surprise some people this year. It's a shame talented players like Buckner and Mottola had to waste away under the coaching that was there. Maritime appears to be among the worst in all of D3 for this season.

Skylineboy,

where did you hear that purchase struck out in recruiting?  What about Farmingdale?  How are they looking? 

[SKYLINEBOY]

That's what I heard early in the summer, then later on I heard different. They had alot to replace (only Warrington was returning I believe, everyone else either graduated or transferred). I am sure they did a good job reloading though. We will see. I heard Farmingdale got a D1 mid-major 6'11 transfer to go along with their returnees. They sound like the favorite at this point.
