Re: A-10 Outlook for 2024-25
Jersey, I wonder if we have interest in William Patterson (Syracuse) and/or Josh Gray (South Carolina)? Both are still in the portal.

Re: Interview with St. John’s host about Drissa Traore
Good job, Scott!
What is his honest projection for Traore in the A10 and does he have the drive to improve as a player ?
Also, does he think he can play some center in the A10 ?
Considering we may need him to play center since we are striking out on bigs so far.

Reef, since he only shot 30% from 3 last season, I don’t consider him a 3 level scorer or, more specifically, a two level scorer who is an inconsistent, below average cbb 3 point shooter.
