YsuPride:
Of course with our trend of never making it to the Dance it is understandable.
Dmorton:
Just have to prove them wrong1 i think this might be the year coach turns us into an Horizon power! Then the power conferences will knocking at our door to take him away for a more lucrative opportunity!
YsuPride:
Agree.
chezmustache:
Agree in part.
The Penguins brought in four older D1 players. The incoming players replaced four transferees who stepped down to D2 and D3 programs (Chicone, Ogoro, Long and Vargo). The departed players should never have been at YSU in the first place, but that is another story. The newcomers' age and experience as D1 players should make the Penguins better.
Will the incoming players elevate the program to contender status? Bryce McBride was a part-time starter at Eastern Michigan (9-21, Sagarin rank 299 of 358). Brandon Rush was a starter at Fairleigh Dickinson (4-22, Sagarin rank 349 of 358). Malek Green was a sixth man at Canisius (10-21, Sagarin rank 264 of 358). Adrian Nelson was a part-time starter at Northern Kentucky (18-12, Sagarin rank 194). Outside of Nelson these players are unaccustomed to winning. Two came from dreadful programs. How these four translate to making YSU a contender may be more hope than reasonable projection.
Mattia Acunzo (Toledo, through Robert Morris) and the return of a healthy Garrett Covington could increase the possibility of success.

YSU has updated their roster for 2022-2023 https://ysusports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster
Any predictions on a starting lineup? I'm sure Coach will be playing with rotations in the non-conference.
Obviously Cohill & Rathan-Mayes start. Have to believe Dunn will start and probably Nelson. Hunter seemed to really play better in the 6th man role. Probably time will tell on Covington.
