As I see it, we have five spots to fill and a lot of very good players returning. To me that's a opportunity.

Amarri Tice - 6'7" SG/SF out of the Newburgh, NY, Newburgh Free Academy and City Rocks - Doing a prep year at the South Kent school.
Offers: UMass, Siena, Albany, NIU, UNCW, & UMBC
Interest: Washington, Georgia, GT, St. John’s, East Carolina, Syracuse, RMU, Vermont, Tulsa, Colgate, and Princeton
Scouting report: "Amarri Tice, of Newburgh (NY) Newburgh free academy, is a 6'5 198lb 2021 prospect from our Spring 2019 New York camp. College coaches on camp staff identified Amarri as having division 1 potential. Amarri has elite level wingspan that makes the player a corner stone on the defensive end and can be even more effective with active hands/feet. Additionally, the prospect appears to have great positional size when used properly remains very advantageous on both sides of the ball. The talented passer, distributes the ball well seeing the floor and anticipating when and where teammates will be open creating easy buckets. In terms of ball-handling, it was one of the strongest aspects of the player's game. The player makes great use of change of speed and change of direction. The prospect's Basketball IQ definitely stood out at camp and proved to be really good. Through continued emphasis on making the right play through watching/learning the game, it can be a big advantage in recruiting. A big part of IQ is shot selection. Amarri does a great job of understanding when there is enough time and space to shoot the ball and will continue to develop this knowledge by watching how this is done at various college levels. Making the extra pass and taking only open in-rhythm shots proved to be a reliable asset for the prospect. The prospect was able to consistently knock down shots during camp showing to be a reliable asset. Shooting will continue to develop with form shooting and made game speed repetitions. We recommend making at least 500 game speed shots a day off the screen(curl/fades), off the bounce, spot shooting, etc. The talent did a tremendous job of finishing around the rim through various moves. The prospect showed great ability with both hands and has the potential to finish on any defense. The talented player is an explosive athlete proving to be a distinct advantage on both ends of the floor that has the athleticism that is in the top percentile of high school kids. We determined the prospect's strength to be one of their best qualities. The college game is an entirely different beast so continued strength development is crucial to prepare going against 23-24 year-olds. Combined with the player's excellent frame the player has the potential to have a definite physical advantage at the next level amongst their fellow incoming freshman. The talent had an impressive motor (highly coveted skill by college coaches) that we believe will translate well at the next level. College coaches will be impressed watching the talented prospects motor and from what we saw, the player had a physical and mental toughness that will be coveted at the next level. The player showed excellence on the defensive side of the ball and exemplified individual and team defensive concepts that we highlighted at camp. Amarri has division 1 potential with continued hard work and development both in the classroom and on the hardwood." - SCOUTFOCUS - Mar. 0, 2019.

Remember, entering the portal does not mean the they are gone, just that they have opened up their recruiting. Let's see who actually stays or signs elsewhere.

With players leaving it creates opportunities for players looking to land somewhere. I feel Iona is an attractive landing spot. Look at the past track record. Just sayin. Not worried.
