I played with him a few years ago. He wasn't that talented back them but he was completely dominant. Wasn't more talented than kids I went to HS with though.

Broadus has legit recruits but none are four-years. Mostly JuCo transfers.

They could have a good year but those guys are gonna get into some shit downtown and Broadus will have a lot of explaining to do. It's a very white conference and a lot of coaches have had bad things to say about him. Oh well.

A lot of mid major programs build off of jucos then they start winning games to attract high school kids

I really enjoyed last year's team. Mike Gordon could've played off the bench for probably any (seriously) program in the country. Best leader I've ever seen, really long arms, ridiculous shutdown defender, smart as hell and he caught fire when it mattered. Sucks to see a guy like Mayben replace him but wins are wins. They have some really exciting players coming back.

Theo is from Ontario but I believe went to HS in Queens, yeah. I think his family lives here now because part of transferring was to be closer to his unhealthy dad.

I think the Binghamton program has legitimately MASSIVE potential because of how dedicated the school has become to athletics, for better or worse. Their facilitiy is probably a top-five mid-major facility in the country, they went out and got a coach with big time credentials and when you have that kinda combination, it's a launching pad and you don't look back. They can recruit where schools within their conference aren't able to make a dent, they're probably the best academic mid-major in the Northeast outside of the Ivy schools and it doesn't hurt to be in NY. Sucks to have Syracuse next door but that's not really anything worth worrying about for the time being. They're definitely not gonna approach the kind of recruiting classes of that kind of school.
The AD has a stated goal of becoming the Gonzaga of the Northeast which is a pretty cliche thing to say but I think they do have the opportunity to lure in the best talent of anyone in the conference.

thats cool do you think they have a shot at winning the conference? This year is 100% a crap shoot. They're losing their two biggest offensive options from last year but the guys they brought in are supposed to be huge upgrades. So many JuCo kids that it really depends on how good of a job Broadus does. Davis doesn't play until second semester, which sucks, but that's conference play so that's what matters. Vermont returns a ridiculously stacked team for the conference. If you haven't seen Marques (sp) Blakely play, it truly is worth it. He's a freak. Hartford is going to be great, but Binghamton played both these teams moderately well last year. Boston is young but everyone loves them. I don't know the minutes the returning guys for Bing will get this year, but Dwayne Jackson is a great scorer, this kid Lukusa is gonna be the best defensive wing in the conference and Reggie Fuller's one of the best defensive bigs around. Freak athlete. So if the guys they added are as legit as advertises, yeah, they should have a big chance to win.

Conference RPI should be a shitshow. It'd be nice to schedule a Syracuse because they're so inconsistent offensively that you can at least make noise by hanging in there with them, but as far as I know their out of schedule won't even feature the good A10 teams.

Cuse won't play them because there is no incentive. If they win its because they are supposed to and if they lose well it looks poorly locally. The major team has everything to lose in that situation. Now I know St. John's has fallen off a bit but this is why they don't play Fordham, Manhattan, etc. These teams use this as leverage in recruiting.
