As long as it doesn't look like NIU's floor, I'm fine with it!

Hey, good for him. He played his 4 years at Bona and this is a freebie year. Enjoy it at a fun place, with a great coach.

You go to college in order to get prepared for getting a job. That was part of my point. I still don't understand how changing schools year after year allows for "students" to accrue credits, as certainly some classes don't transfer, especially after yearly school changes.

So you leave your job every year and get a new one? I must be doing something very wrong then.

Seriously, how dumb has this system gotten? Guys leave, go elsewhere, then return. How many guys are in their 3rd+ school in 3-4 years? It's become pick up ball at the park. I can almost get behind a transfer for a variety of reasons. But this is just dumb at this point. I mean, I see it in local high school players too. Stan Weir was at 4 schools in 4 years (many years ago), Bradberry was at 4-5 schools in his career. When people are being taught that they should move around constantly, how are they being prepared to get a job and stay there for a period of time, or are they just going to work for a year and then leave then too?

Who doesn't have question marks? 1700 players in the portal plus graduating players equals over a 50% average new roster turnover.

You read my mind on this one.

Skogman 2.0

Surely that's coming at some point. Maybe it's this one.

Undoubtedly, all of the other transfers Country wide are in a similar boat.

It's fine, I'm not mad at any of them, it's just a ridiculous system that is the downfall of the system as it was. The big boys are happy, and those making the big bucks are happy as well, and that's really all that matters.

That's fine. Doesn't mean I have to be interested in the process. It's a new team every year from this point forward, not just for us, but for most teams. It's disinteresting to me. So these new guys that are all coming in, that people are excited about will be here for how long, 1 season? How many will be gone next year? Based on this past year, it's likely that most will be gone next year. Again, not just here. Heck, Schmidt is a genius. Sold Bona on his great team, got mega bucks, and now has no team. Could've put anyone in that coaching position and had the same (lack of) team.

Not quite sure how that works, leaving after 3 years and completing a major at a new place, but good on her and all of the thousands of "student-athletes".

Yeah, finishing out her free semester before moving on to the next freebie in California.

Glad to see that 5 UB players are now in orange, along with nearly the whole staff. So ridiculous. Enjoy.

Agreed, looks like it will get a lot more internal people involved, which may bring in some of their families and more butts in the seats. Looking like a decent weather day as well.

It's not really a new team, 4 UB players, including stars know the system. I'm sure they'll be able to take other strong talent, added to what they took from us, and be solid.

UB 2.0

Never!

For most, it's just change for the purpose of change. 30% of the D1 players changing schools, plus the graduating seniors equals close to 50% new rosters countrywide.

That sucks

I don't know anything about Binghamton's tennis program, but I do know that Bona's track & field team is very limited. They don't even compete in short sprints or field events, basically just using their XC kids. Canisius and Niagara do similarly, although Canisius has a much better squad than those two. But back to UB women's hoops. Any word on McNabb? No news is good news, right?

Bona's track program is one of the worst in the country. I don't think that they have anywhere to practice even.

Big loss. Returning basically no one with minutes/scoring from this past season now. Probably is the new normal though, and not just for us.

Nice adds. The subtractions have been huge, the adds appear to be solid. Need some size, but the roster is building. Glad the staff has been rounded out as well.
