Hopefully it is not, but it smacks of desperation.

Put me in the camp of not being crazy about this recruit. He's the only one whose had disciplinary problems. Hopefully he's gotten the message that won't be tolerated at Iona and he needs to act in a mature, responsible manner off and on the court.

So you guys wanted to go into the season with 10 players?

Tau, at this point I would rather have held the scholarship in case a big becomes available via transfer. I do not see how adding another guard to the roster we currently have helps. If the staffs plan is to go via the transfer/JUCO route this is one of the dangers of that approach. Losing 2 Jucos this late into the game has really hurt Iona. I dont believe you fix the problem by just simply filling the roster. If Bowman was a true big then i would have a different opinion on taking a shot on a player.

I agree but unfortunately this is the risk factor of this method of recruiting. I cringe of the thought of turning into this years Siena as far as roster sizes go with a couple of injuries.

Like I have said all along, this is the first team that is completely designed by Cluess to fit his system. Let's give it all a chance and see how it plays out. I think there is a very good reason that he has been a successful coach at all levels and I would suspect that he has a much better handle on this than we do.
I hope Tre kicks ass and does well in school. It would be great to see a kid who lost his way turn his situation around and reach his true potential as both an athlete and as an individual.

I hope you are right. I am nervous as heck though.

I am absolutely going to have a blast this season. I have zero expectations going in, unlike a lot of you. If Iona wins 20+ and all these "problem kids" as some feel they are don't get arrested or flunk out, I'm going to do backflips across Hynes.
And if the year blows up, with kids getting trouble or flunking out and the team winning 14 games, things will change. It's as simple as that.
In Cluess and Grasso I trust. LET'S GO GAELS!!!!
