Notes And Quotes On CCSU Basketball

Nice job by Mike Anthony at the Courant!

Central has three recruits (for now) coming in. They are:

-Khalen Cumberlander, a 6-foot-3 combination guard from Washington, D.C. He could help the Blue Devils become more versatile in transition. “A terrific athlete,” Dickenman said. “He’s going to play. We should run more. We’re going to be improved, athletically.”

-Matthew Hunter, a 6-5 transfer forward from Odessa College in Texas. Hunter averaged 17.8 points a game last season as a sophomore at Odessa. He’s a Detroit native who played five years with Vinales in the Detroit Fire AAU program. “He’s friends with Kyle, so that helped us in recruiting. He’s a stat-filler all the way across the board. He scores, has turnovers, has assists, has fouls. All the way across, you’ll never see zeros. He’s involved. Athletically, he’s very good.”

-Brandon Peel, a 6-foot-6 forward from Riverdale Baptist School in Upper Marlboro, Md. He’s an athletic frontcourt player who might need time to develop.

Central has two remaining scholarships to award and would like to use at least one, probably on a rebounder. Erik Raleigh, a 6-8 forward/center, is another newcomer. He sat out last season as a red-shirt and, Dickenman said, has made “tremendous progress.”

He has a green light,” Dickenman said. “Really green. Dark green. Bright green. If he takes a 28-footer, I might strangle him. But if he makes it, it’s fine.”

THAT's Classic Howie!!!! Gotta love it....best line in story...HAHAHA!!!

"But I do believe we’ll be better than what people think. Record-wise? I don’t know. But I know we’ll play hard and we’ll be a better shooting team.”

Thanks Howie. Now I feel so much better about things...If we win six games but you think the team improved, then that's great.

Most players will enroll in classes and remain on campus for much of the summer. Dickenman said of the working being put in, “I love the work ethic. I love the attitude. I love the chemistry. There’s a togetherness with the group.”


Thats what I want to see Howie saying... Methinks there was a lack of chemistry and heart last season......

Now there was no mention of Adonis Burbage (I like that name so much I named my goldfish Adonis) Hope he didnt Xfer
So Long Victor E.....

Although Mickell and Adonis's names weren't mentioned, I'm not that concerned. The article did mention that CCSU has 2 more schollys to offer, which means the roster must have 11 currently: 1 Sr. Efese
3 Jrs. Allen, Speech and Juco Hunter
4 Sophs. Mickell, McMillan, Burbage and Vinales
1 Red Shirt Fr. Raleigh
2 Fr. Recruits - Peel and Cumberlander
If Burbage and Mickell were gone, we would have 4 schollys instead of two, right?
