Kinda speaks to the changed recruiting landscape in CBB that a 2026 AE Recruiting thread doesn’t even exist yet, but it’s almost July which means….it’s Offer SZN!!!

Yeah, Albany following a couple BOS-area AAU Twitter feeds and just goin’ HAM. I know some of the ‘27s and remains to be seen if some will become D1 prospects.
Albany's offer sprees have been spurred by two things:
1) Clout chasing from their head coach who believes this is an essential program builder tactic. Mostly because he has very little else to build off of from his tenure.
2) Both assistant and head coach offering guys they know they can't get, now, but maybe later, whether that be at Albany or another institution that employs them after 2026.
It begins. Cats' first offer for 2026. Madden Smiley, 6-3 guard from Windsor, CO (northern Colorado, up by Fort Collins). But speaking of Northern Colorado, his dad is the head coach at UNC, so...
I am staying at the Renaissance in Pittsburgh. Duquesne is running their major fall recruiting event visits. Whole staff (but for Dru Joyce) here...and they are bringing in quite a haul. I heard they got some decent NIL money and wonder if they will come close to VCU's $4 million house spending.
Chose UMBC over Lowell, Albany, American and others.
