Ronnie Rousseau III - 5'10" PG out of Cincinnati,. has a very quick first step... can get to the hoop, shoots the three well, has a excellent handle, can pass and run the offense very well. He is very smooth. Can also play off the ball. Injury and personal issues cost him half of his senior season so I think his recruitment was hurt by it. He averaged 25 points and eight assists a game as a senior. He was ranked the number one player in Cincinnati and the number three player in Ohio his senior year. Originally went to Vincennes University (JUCO) but left after the first semester. Had strong interest from Dayton, Miami (OH) and Tennessee St. Can only assume his grades were an issue and that kept schools from offering as the kid is very talented.
He is currently averaging 23.4 ppg, 4.3 apg, 5.2 rpg while shooting 42.9% from the three and 86.7% from the line. Has an offer from Texas Southern.

Wondering if Iona has an open scholarship. Just saw on VC that 6'10'' C, Isaiah Manderson is transferring from Texas Tech. He is from the Bronx. Interesting note is he had a long list of HM offers, with George Mason and Iona the only MM offers. Might be a player to follow the next few weeks to see if Iona will reach out to him

If he could develop a running hook shot and a 15 foot jumper he would be a huge asset. I am sure the staff will reach out to him to see what his plans are. I would also expect Masiello to get involved as his defensive abilities are right up Masiello's alley.

That would be an incredible addition. Less than half of one percent chance it happens, but we can hope.

goodluck isn't coming to IONA he is a high major from the Boston area if he was from the nyc area , maybe So should we let the Bryant forum know that we are out of the ruling and he is all theirs? The kid has not met expectations, was getting less minutes and was unhappy. While I doubt he is coming to New Rochelle I do not think he is out of the reach for a mid major at this point. He wants to see minutes...

Heard he's getting poached by ASU coach I heard that as well. He has a relationship with Hurley. ASU already has top 100 C Jethro Tshisumpa signed and they are on Thon Maker pretty hard. Playing time might be tight. Some people also thought he wanted to be closer to home.

Speaking about recruiting for next season, is there any word on KA's waiver request? If he's not coming back and if CC's health is uncertain, I would think that we'd need a PG addition for next year. Might explain the interest in Rousseau. My question to 86, of all our targeted recruits (PG), which one would you hope we get? And speaking of former recruits, one we didn't get, Mike Nzei, one of 86's favorites, finally got a start for SH and put up nice numbers. I was hoping that he'd become disillusioned over lack of PT and transfer to New Ro.
