Jon Rothstein @jonrothstein · 43m Greetings from New Rochelle! Here for Iona practice. The Gaels look like the MAAC favorites in 14-15.

Jon Rothstein @jonrothstein · 15m Iona's commitment to conditioning is relentless. Every drill is full court. You're in shape or you get left behind. There's no in between.

Jon Rothstein @jonrothstein · 11m Iona's David Laury is down to 244 pounds, Tim Cluess told @cbssports. Was 280 two years ago. Significantly quicker. MAAC Preseason POY.

Jon Rothstein @jonrothstein · 9m Iona has 3 guys - A.J. English, Isaiah Williams, + David Laury - that can play in any league in America. But what about the supporting cast?

Jon Rothstein @jonrothstein · 7m Palpable buzz out of Iona surrounding 5-10 freshman Schadric Casimir. Can REALLY score. Similar in mold to Richmond's Kendall Anthony.

Jon Rothstein @jonrothstein · 4m The guy who's really standing out for Iona? Grant Ellis. 6-5 wing is shooting the blood out of the ball. Should be a quality MAAC reserve.

Jon RothsteinVerified account @jonrothstein Longwood transfer Jeylani Dublin is going to be a factor for Iona. 6-6 and tough. Understands his role. Solid utility player.

Jon Rothstein @jonrothstein · 1m Iona got a steal in James Madison transfer Taylor Bessic. 6-9 and physically imposing. Eligible in 15-16. Very good mid-major big man.

casimir sounds like a pure scorer. Wouldn't be surprised to see him have a couple of big number games early, but he's also got a steep learning curve in terms of running the offense.

Kelvin Amayo is a linebacker on roller skates. 6-5 and built like a truck. Perfect "trail" 4 man for the way Iona plays. Impact newcomer.

You have to give Rothstein credit, how many guys go see so many teams practice?
