Ryan McIntyreHOST
13 teams here in this league.
Ryan McIntyreHOST
The defending champs, the great Sienna, Bernard Saints.
Ryan McIntyreHOST
But first, if you're wondering who you're listening to, I'm Moneyline Mac, former Saver with lots of people at the Cubs.
Ryan McIntyreHOST
Sal, Cacka, Lacka with the Gamecocks.
Noah BieniekHOST
But like you said, Sienna, they and their experienced roster made quite the run in March, winning the MAAC tournament and then cashing Moneyline MAAC's first half Moneyline against Duke in the NCAA tournament.
Noah BieniekHOST
But yeah, Jerry McNamara parlayed that run into his dream job as head coach at Syracuse.
Noah BieniekHOST
So some question marks over there with the Saints for the upcoming season, Mac.
Ryan McIntyreHOST
I just realized I was talking on mute.
Ryan McIntyreHOST
So, uh, we'll break it down, 13 teams here in this league.
Ryan McIntyreHOST
Uh, the defending champs, the great Siena Bernard Saints.
Ryan McIntyreHOST
Uh, but first, if you're lis- wondering who you're listening to, I'm Moneyline Mac, former staff writer for Sports Bettors Gods.
Ryan McIntyreHOST
South Cackalacka with the Gamecocks, West by Govirgia with the Mountaineers, also known as-
Ryan McIntyreHOST
This league is always so open.
Ryan McIntyreHOST
Uh, I mean, Merrimack was the clear-cut best team, 17 and three, but you look at it, after that, [clears throat] you had, what, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine teams separated by 14 and six and eight and 12, and then you had the three bottom feeders.
Ryan McIntyreHOST
So Siena was able to go on the magical run up there in, uh, Jersey for the tournament.
Ryan McIntyreHOST
Uh, Jerry Mack gets it done.
Jackson HolzerHOST
He's a really talented player coming over from Quinnipiac.
Jackson HolzerHOST
Why not him? You have Siena transfer, Gavin Doty.
Jackson HolzerHOST
We saw Gavin Doty last year at Siena with Jerry McNamara.
Jackson HolzerHOST
He had himself a damn good year.
Jackson HolzerHOST
Maybe he's gonna find himself in the starting lineup day one for Syracuse basketball.
Mike WatersHOST
...
Mike WatersHOST
when, when, when Jerry left to go to Siena, he was hoping he was never gonna come back, because that-
Seth GreenbergGUEST
Come back
Mike WatersHOST
... would mean Adrian-
Seth GreenbergGUEST
Look, I'm a big, I'm a big Jerry fan.
Seth GreenbergGUEST
He's...
Seth GreenbergGUEST
You know, look, he, he did a great job at Siena.
Seth GreenbergGUEST
Uh, and I think those three guys that he brought with him, quite honestly, are really pivotal.
Ian SacksHOST
I'm happy that you said that because this is a very different look for the Metro this year.
Ian SacksHOST
Siena wins the championship last year.
Ian SacksHOST
Jerry McNamara leaves to go back to his alma mater in Syracuse, and it kind of opens the door for a pretty wide open race it feels like.
Sam FedermanGUEST
Yeah, I, I, I think that's a fair assumption.
Sam FedermanGUEST
Keith McKnight coming back is, is massive.
Sam FedermanGUEST
But they're gonna need a lot, um, o- of shooting coming out of Nadaz Trolavinskius, the international recruit, because he's one of the only guys on this roster that really is a, a great shooter, I would say.
Sam FedermanGUEST
Um, but I think Siena is another team that's gonna be near the top of this league.
Sam FedermanGUEST
Nevada Smith wants to play fast, wants his guys to run, wants his guys to shoot a lot of threes, and I think they have the best player in the league in Pace Prosser.
Jackson HolzerHOST
In the case of Jerry McNamara, they wanted to go maybe outside the family, at least some people.
Jackson HolzerHOST
But with how Jerry McNamara did at Siena, leading his team to a conference championship in year two, and then ultimately being very competitive against Duke in round one of the NCAA tournament, it did not leave the program much of a choice.
Jackson HolzerHOST
So they decided to hire Jerry McNamara.
Jackson HolzerHOST
So my thoughts on this, look, my take at the time was, is that I didn't want Syracuse to hire within the family, but it's not for the reason that you may think.
Jackson HolzerHOST
I know there are positive signs with Jerry McNamara.
Jackson HolzerHOST
I know how competitive he is.
Jackson HolzerHOST
I know that he took over a four-win Siena basketball program, and in two years, he led them to the NCAA tournament.
Jackson HolzerHOST
I know that Siena put up a much tougher fight against Duke in that one game than Syracuse has done in about a half decade against the Duke Blue Devils.
Jim RootHOST
... credited for building those offenses under Shaka Smart.
Jim RootHOST
Nevada Smith is now the head coach at Siena.
Jim RootHOST
Can they maintain some of the, the offensive stuff? That was always a bugaboo for Shaka at Texas.
Jim RootHOST
They had some clunky offensive fits.
Steve HewittHOST
But this week, we got a commitment.
Steve HewittHOST
Dylan Callahan at St. Thomas More commits to Siena under new head coach Nevada Smith.
Steve HewittHOST
Obviously, Jerry McNamara left and took Ryan Mesh with him to Syracuse.
Steve HewittHOST
So Siena's looking for some guard play.
Steve HewittHOST
And I didn't immediately put two and two together, but that also reunites Dylan Callahan with Malik Adamson, who also committed to Siena earlier this summer.
Steve HewittHOST
And they were both Middlesex Magic teammates this summer together.
Steve HewittHOST
So I think that's really fun.
Steve HewittHOST
And I think they're both really fun to watch offensively, too, with ball handlers together.
Dan KrikorianHOST
And welcome to Slapping Glass, exploring basketball's best ideas, strategies, and coaches from around the world.
Dan KrikorianHOST
Today, we're excited to welcome Siena Men's Basketball Head Coach Nevada Smith.
Dan KrikorianHOST
Coach Smith is here today to discuss differentiating speed from pace, creating confusion zones for the defense, and playing to empty pick and rolls on offense.
Dan KrikorianHOST
And we talk increasing offensive rebounding margins and mastering pick and roll reads during the always fun Start, Sub, or Sit.
Neil AdlerGUEST
One thing I'm curious about, OK, so Syracuse first offered Kamisoko a scholarship in late December of 2024 when Adrian Archer was at the helm.
Neil AdlerGUEST
And at that point, if I'm doing my math correctly, GMAC had moved on to Siena.
Jackson HolzerHOST
Wait, when did you say December 2024?
Neil AdlerGUEST
Yeah, December 24.
Neil AdlerGUEST
So he had moved on, correct.
Neil AdlerGUEST
Yeah, 24, 25, 25, 26.
Neil AdlerGUEST
So there must have been conversations prior to GMAC leaving, even if Syracuse hadn't officially offered Kamisoko because I find it hard to believe that once he moved to Siena, that's like when he first started talking to him, was he recruiting at Siena? I honestly don't know.
Neil AdlerGUEST
So I'm not like trying to make anything up here.
