I too was impressed by the maturity of the players in their responses.

Came away, after a very enjoyable, 40 minutes, with a few takeaways: *Really liked the player by player breakdown. When/if we get to meet the team/coaches I'll re-listen in order to research the team, so I won't be stone cold when first seeing them. *Doesn't seem that we have a threesome to match WC, DJ and NJJ. This team MIGHT have a different high scorer in many games. Why it will take some getting used to, it very well might make the season more enjoyable. *TA, when speaking of the coaches, stressed that for the most part he has a long term relationship with all of them. And I remember when TC was here, JG sat right next to him on the bench. For the last couple of years that wasn't the case. So, I'm wondering if TA is a fan of having a particular AC sit next to him, or whether it's a rotational thing with the assistant who was responsible for scouting/game planning occupy the 'first chair'. *Seems that we have many guys who can shoot, rebound and play defense. Still not sure about ball handling. Again thanks. Glad you liked the ep, and thanks for the feedback. I don't think ballhandling will be a problem, I did say in podcast and out here yesterday that we have a lot of guys who showed ability to handle the ball. Biggest concerns I have will be team rebounding and how quickly the guys can learn the defensive system.

Guy, Since rebounding and defense are desire driven and the result of hard work, I am optimistic TA will motivate and teach this team to excel at both.

Great job with the roster breakdown by both Guy and Sharkey. Can't wait for the season to get started.

Any chance of announcing a finalized Iona roster?

Any chance of announcing a finalized Iona roster? Rodrigo will be added when the paperwork is settled. Other than that--the roster on the Iona website IS final. Were you expecting something else?

What confuses me is that Verbal Commits show Brice as enrolled and Rodrigo as just Committed. And since the Fall Semester has started, I'm wondering if he will have to wait until the Spring Semester.

What confuses me is that Verbal Commits show Brice as enrolled and Rodrigo as just Committed. And since the Fall Semester has started, I'm wondering if he will have to wait until the Spring Semester. I don't think there's any reason to assume he's not coming or won't be eligible.
