Marist receives letters of intent from big men Adam Kemp and Pieter Prinsloo. It's painfully obvious that the Red Foxes need some guys underneath to help out the skilled guards already in place.
Here is a brief evaluation of Kemp. He also garnered interest from Cornell, which is a good sign for Marist.
Marist also has a verbal agreement with swingman Jay Bowie out of Tampa, Fl. While the Red Foxes are loaded in the front court, this may or may not be an indication about Sam Prescott's eligibility. Hopefully Prescott is able to come back strong.
Bowie on choosing Marist:
“I liked that the university was good in academics and it seemed like the right fit for me," Bowie said. "I also have the chance to do something special there.”
Along the coaching front, Chuck Martin turns into one of the MAAC veterans after Fran McCaffery and Kevin Willard left their respective schools. Iona named Tim Cluess, formerly of C.W. Post, to the head coaching helm while long-time assistant Mitch Buonaguro takes over at Siena. Ironically, two Siena recruits bailed on the Saints and followed McCaffery to Iowa.
Speaking of Siena, Ronald Moore was pulled over for drunken driving earlier today near Siena's campus. The school hasn't commented, but these are obviously very serious charges.
