Clown Comment!

Doesn't make it inaccurate. No one likes to hear it, but almost all of the Stony's top recruits don't have the academics to get into other perennial top 20 programs.

There is a reason Gary Gait used to call it LICC when recruiting. (Long Island Community College).

The following is such an ignorant and foolish statement:

"Stony's top recruits don't have the academics to get into other perennial top 20 programs."

While I have no idea what type of grades SBU's Top Recruits have, I do know that the majority of Perennial Top 20 Programs have the ability to get just about any "Top Recruit" through admissions.

Perennial Top 20

Maryland
North Carolina
Boston College
Northwestern
Syracuse
Stony Brook
Florida
Princeton
Virginia
Notre Dame
Penn

others that are often Top 20:

Loyola
Duke
James Madison
Penn State
Denver
Stanford
USC
UMass

Maybe a couple of others as well.... But those are the majority of the teams that regularly finish the season ranked in the top 20 over the past 10 years or so...

The majority of the schools listed above have tremendous latitude when it comes to admissions...

Of that list, here are the schools that a player with a 3.2 GPA and 1050 SAT can get into

- Stony
- Maryland
- Umass
- Loyola
- JMU
- Syracuse
- Umass (though im not sure they are perenniel top 20)
- Penn State

And for the schools that may make "exceptions" it is usually one exception per class, not across the entire recruiting class. If you hear stories of kids getting admitted with less, its usually because there are a member of an underrepresented group. If you don't believe me, go to the Maryland board and read about a 2022 UA All-american who couldnt get into her dream school UNC because of grades


While I don't think Stony academics are as bad as its reputation, it is definitely not in the same level as a large majority of the normal top 15-20.
