Interesting that posters with very good sources feel confident that the roster is not set. Would imagine one of the European kids may not be coming since Casimir, Dublin and Young were in the picture from practice? If a scholarship is not going to be renewed the player has to be notified by July 1st, and I don't really believe TC is going to run anybody off as that is not his style.

My guess is that this in our final roster: 0 Young, Najeal 6-5 1 Isaiah Williams 6-7 2 Kelvin Amayo 6-4 3 Tavon Sledge 5-9 5 A.J. English 6-4 10 Bebis, Vangelis 6-6 11 Grant Ellis 6-5 12 Svandrlik, Jan 6-5 13 David Laury 6-8 22 Dublin, Jeylani 6-6 31 Casimir, Cedric 5-9 32 Ryden Hines 6-10 44 Daniel Robinson 7-0 NOPE! Does he have one of the shirt numbers wrong?

Are you guys truly putting faith in anything ichoops says? Guy Ichoops is jokester of the 1st order, but there is a kernel of truth in every thing he says...Just have to find it...May have just picked up related news down in Florida...Dull day, will try to search his area forums later in day for any long shot leads... [/quote] Too much Florida sun and booze. Good laugh though! Glad this board still rocks!

OK so ICHOOPS is joking but Super knows something and seems like Guy may too. My guess is Svandrlik is not coming, and I base that simply on who was in the picture (Sledge had an excuse) and the post had an article on Iona and Fordham going to Europe to recruit but it only mentioned Bebis. There was one unidentified kid in that picture, was it a walk on or is that the recruit? Probably some transfer and not him but who knows.
One other recruiting note is Guy retweeted that Iona gave 2015 McGill, (the kid who decommitted from Manhattan) an offer - The rivalry builds.

A few things:
1. Euro players could still be competing in playoffs of their domestic leagues or granted extended stays before they arrive on campus, which could explain why they were not in the pic.
2. Staff is looking to bring in one more impact player and we could hear news soon, but don't think it's a guarantee or viewed as a necessity by any means.
3. Didn't see Garee or Bill O'Keefe in pic. Anyone know which one(s) are not returning, if any?

Garee's job and that of one of the assistants is being published as vacant with candidate responses for both going to Bill--don't know what any of that means!

I'm gonna apply for the job. I'm not qualified but I have a lot of enthusiasm. The first thing I'll so is bring back the gold alternate unis from the 1998 season.

Fact of life with successful program is losing staff. Best wishes to whoever is leaving. Pretty sure Coach Cluess will have a number of suitable applicants. Who would not want to get the opportunity to work with this group of athletes and Coach Cluess.

For those who saw Ellis at meet the Gaels last year this isn't that surprising. He was the leading scorer with about 30 points, and he was regularly draining 3's with a hand in his face while displaying a very quick release, maybe we will see that this year in a real game.

Looks like Garee Bryant is returning to his career in public education. Active recruitment for a replacement has been ongoing with an accelerated timeline.
