Can't believe I just started a thread for 2027....
Someone get this kid an offer. Gotta get credit for being 1st - if he doesn't already have other offers in place. Scored 1000 points on a HS Varsity team as a 13/14 year old 8th grader. Could break JG3's NYS High School scoring record if he stays in the public school system. Yes it is section X and that area isn't exactly known for D1 level talent, but this kid seems like the real deal....

Payton Graber, daughter of former UAlbany MBB player and HOF member Jason Graber, was named the 2022 NYS Class B Girls MVP Tournament Player. How sweet would this be to have a daughter of a MBB player/HOF and UAlbany graduate to follow in her father's footsteps. Further, she would join Lilly Phillips as second Great Dane team from NYS Girls Championship team.
I am unaware if she has committed elsewhere.

I'm curious if anyone has any updates on what some of the best UA players from the D1 era are today and what they are up to?
I started thinking about Gerardo Suero the other day and his failed bid at the NBA draft. Last I knew he was playing for the Dominican National Team: http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/gerardo-suero-of-the-dominican-republic-national-team-news-photo/453878532

So it looks like the roster is now finalized and the students are back on campus. While practice doesn't begin for a few weeks, the schedule is out and the season is getting close. Last year was a terrible year. Last place, no AE playoffs in a season played at HVCC...
This is a new season with an extremely new roster, and the opening of the renovated SEFCU arena, now called Broadview Center.
What are everyone's expectations for the season? Any predictions for the team or the AE in general?

Guards: (1/2)

I guess if want to catch more of the Broadview Center and sooner, you need to catch opening of Broadview Center on November 12 (Sun) with UAlbany WBB playing Rosemont. The WBB team has six non conference games at home.
