In response to MrPhillie
Any word on potential roster additions? Are there openings?
There were two openings when Griffin took over, one due to Screen's departure and the other because the current recruiting class only consisted of two players even though there were three openings.
However one of the spots has now been filled - a transfer that has been rumored for a couple of weeks: 6-1 PG Quin Berger who played sparingly for St. Joes this year. Berger was a frosh at SJ but could possibly become part of Bucknell's Class of 2027 depending on how many credits carry over and how Griffin wants to orchestrate things.
Berger was lightly recruited while playing for his father at powerhouse Westtown in West Chester (PA). He had one offer (Charleston) prior to the end of his senior season - and that may have subsequently been off the table - but then picked up a late offer from NJIT and a later offer from St. Joes, which he accepted. At Westtown, he averaged 15 ppg, 4 rpg, and 3 apg. Was 3rd team All-State for private schools. I think he may be a contributor, but I don't see him as a real difference maker. His brother plays for Lafayette, btw, after having played first for Georgetown and then for San Diego.
Here's an article on Berger from when he committed to St. Joes: https://www.cityofbasketballlove.com/news_article/...
