Too early to say if he has an extension, but as off now, he has not done much but lived up RHG. 750k? Ridiculous I believe coach with a salary less than half of that would have done the same job or even keeping DW or Grasso to win 3 Conference games in 2 years.
He inherited Gaston, a Grasso recruit. Still our stud and Frazier has been the only other highlight on the team, yet inconsistent.
Jio would have been a senior now. Would have liked to see him and Gaston this year.
Bristol and Dominique went to the wrong program and system. Obviously they are frustrated. Its a guard oriented system, I dont know why any Center or Forward would ever want to play for Pecora. This is a problem with him recruiting forwards.
The Izod center is a joke.. get over it Grey.. Its a dump and nobody wants it

He had a few double figure games his freshman year. He had some bad games too. BelmontJuice, He did score 16 on the road at St.Bons. But not only that. He was matching up against Andrew Nicholson who was rookie of the year and heading to the NBA draft this year. He played equal to him, if not better. He looked like a force against St.Joes and LaSalle too. Dunked on Eric Murray in the loss and showed what he could do. He has no coaching, but managed to be a solid Freshman on a broken down team. Just imagine him on a team where he is being worked on. That could have been Fordham in Pecoras Era, but instead he can be a solid Big10 player now, after conditioning and weightlifting and GOOD coaching. Pecora ran him off and its too obvious. Its a blessing in disguise for him since now he is competeting at the higher level. He needed a chance and I'm sure he would have been a great contributor on this years team.

I have seen this guys judge this kid from since he was a freshman and never gave him a chance. I have seen guys write, "We will never hear his name again" after he transferred. He has not played any JUCO games yet. He is being judged from practice and preseason open gyms and jamborees by D1 coaches. Other than Nebraska, According to the articles, He was being recruited by Wichita State, Kent State, Missouri, Washington State, Notre Dame, Marquette, Western Illinois, Bradley. I mean the list goes on. These are high major conferences, Big10,Big12, Pac12 and the Big East. Or even,top teams at the mid-major level which go to the NCAA tournament regularly, Wichita state and Kent state. All of these schools are ranked better than Fordham. If teams better than Fordham are willing to give this kid a scholarship than why would he not be good enough for Fordham. Obviously the kid has talent and has most likely improved a lot since playing in the A-10 two years ago. Remember he started as a Freshman from Europe. He needed time to adjust to the game. He was also in a broken down program which never helps. One conclusion comes to mind. He was obviously shut out by Fordham and Pecora, primarily because he was not his recruit. Fordham lost a kid who could have really helped them due to politics.He was dropping double figure games as a freshman in the A10 on a team where he rarely touched the ball. I am happy for him. He deserves this and I wish him luck. Everybody needs to wish him luck and give the kid a chance. Doc Sadler would not recruit a kid from JUCO to not play him. He will see minutes. He is a hardworker and He wont quit by the looks of it like many have who have been run-off the Fordham roster due to a coaching change.
