I actually like the guy. Aside from the whole fictional college degree thing, of course.

Massello is not a happy camper. He has not been offered an extension from Manhattan, he has not recruited as well as he had with Davis on the staff and he has had injuries plus two defections. He thought he would be coaching in Florida, making $1 million a year and lots of perks. My how things have changed in his life since he won the Jermaine Lawrence sweepstakes.

Looks like some serious problems with USF basketball. Assistant coach Oliver Antigua(brother of HC Orlando Antigua) has resigned as a result of ongoing NCAA investigation for academic fraud. Lots of rumors here that program will be hit with multiple sanctions and that HC Antigua will be canned. Both of these guys have strong ties to NYC hoops, and both are part of the Pitino tree with links to Massiello & Willard.
If they do get sanctioned significantly, does that enable the players to transfer without having to sit a year? I had mentioned this to IONA86 a few weeks ago. He indicated that they usually let the juniors and seniors transfer with immediate eligibility, and believes that underclassman that redshirted are usually allowed to transfer as well. In addition the school would be forced to release any recruit that has signed a LOI. Maybe in the end, Masiello dodged a bullet by losing that job. One player of interest would be former Iona recruit Isaiah Manderson a 6'10" PF out of the Bronx and Texas Tech who will be a junior...He would be eligible following the 2016 fall semester. According to IONA86, He was a 3 star and recruited by everyone including Kansas St, Cincinnati, Auburn, Georgia, Maryland, Memphis, NC State, Mississippi State, Oregon, UCLA, Wake Forest, UNLV and Tennessee. Another could be Luis Santos (6'8") who played at St Rays. Was a 4 star prospect at PF/C and averaged 11.1 points and 5.6 rebounds until he was stashed away at a high school in Wichita. Be interesting to see where Rod Strickland lands as he is an assistant coach. www.gousfbulls.com/SportSelect.dbml?&DB_OEM_ID=7700&SPID=2923&SPSID=36689Antigua has had a horrible record in his 2 years 17-48.

We now have (supposedly) 13 guys on scholarship, assuming that Tamm arrives for the Fall semester and that Severe graduates from Fordham. And we're waiting on the potential transfer from Southern Illinois, so I doubt that we'll pursue someone from USF. But I'll admit that they are both are VG players.

Before anyone accepts a transfer from USF they better make sure the prospective transfer wasn't a beneficiary of the alleged fraud.

Both seem like great potential additions, but does Iona possibly have room for one more? It's too late in the game to run off an existing player. There's still no roster on the ICGaels website, though. I guess anything is possible.
