Tee4three Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Judging his final 4, seems home sick. I'll guess he goes to st. Johns or hofstra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Averaged 8 PPG, 2 RBG and 2 APG. Was also the MAAC rookie of the year. Seems like he would be a good get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being snarky I don’t know Some experience, had some decent stats at St. Peter’s, would probably provide some productive minutes off the bench.

Not being snarky I don’t know I saw him play while at Siena, kid was definitely the best player for St Peter’s. He didn’t take many shots but made some great plays definitely and offensively. I forgot his stats for the end of the game but he has a clean shooting stroke and was a pest defensively. I believe he’d be a great get for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dabulls Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) I’d like to grab him but it seems like Hofstra and St John’s are the top choices for him, they’re closer to home Edited May 3, 2021 by Dabulls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuchMany Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Finding it hard to believe that the Nowheresville chirps crowd still can't differentiate between fans a bit frustrated who enjoy following a top 75 program on a deeper level, which includes recruiting news and rumors (like every other program), versus the small number of people (trolls?) who actually believe that no news means the staff isn't working behind the scenes. But alas... Not wild about picking up Estrada based on stats and pedigree, but admittedly I don't know anything else about him. Could be a good depth add and maybe more? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBulls Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Disagree. MAAC FOY is nothing to sneeze at. Former 3 star recruit. Last year final three were Cuse, Creighton, and Oregon. Big bodied guard, pretty good shooter (2019-20, when he actually had enough volume to measure). If he has three years left then sign me up. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuchMany Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I'm a serial MAAC disrespecter, so guilty as charged. Thanks for the added perspective - maybe he'll end up a good add after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue32 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Didn't really want to create a new thread for this, but here's a scholarship chart I've been using to keep track of what we still have available, with my assumptions that Fagan is returning and Zachery is still on scholarship: If we are in on Estrada and/or Blocker still it looks like we would be taking advantage of the bonus scholarships for COVID year seniors with us already sitting at 13 scholarships. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he just played his freshman year in JUCO so he will be a sophomore, but like the kids at D1 schools, it didn't count against his eligibility. He very well may be planning to play all 4 of his eligible years here, but I would imagine he's on track to graduate in 2024. Then he would have a choice to make about '24-'25 like Brock did this year. It's more or less semantics, but without the precedent I notated the COVID years differently since we don't know what percentage of kids will take the extra year/if they will stay at the same school. My gut says younger kids, and kids that may not be pros will probably use it but the Mballa/Williams/Segus that were planning on making money professionally soon will not use it.

DooleyBull06 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Please someone correct me if this is wrong but players who take advantage of the covid year this season don’t count against the scholarship cap. However players who aren’t seniors and take advantage in future seasons do count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
