A Sea Of Red

According to verbalcommits.com, David Andoh has transferred to Atlantic Ten member St. Bonaventure.

The Bonnies are an up and coming A10 team. I covered a couple of their games last season for American Sports Network. Good for David. Coach Schmidt is one of the better mid major coaches in my opinion.

Back in the day the Bonnies (known then as the Brown Indians!) were pretty stinking good. Bob Lanier led them to the final four one year, but he was injured and they lost in the semis. I grew up not too far from there and they were always in the news during basketball season.

Yeah they do have some good history from way back. Their recent history has been up and down, but mostly down. They play some of their big home games in the big arena where the Penguins play and where the NCAA has held some 1st round games. I believe the A10 Tournament is going to be there in the near future as well when the ACC takes over Barclay's Center in Brooklyn for a couple of years. I can't wait to see where Yousou Endoye lands and if he gets a chance to play in the NBA. He is the 7 footer from Africa that is a great shot blocker, rebounder and decent scorer.

I think you mean the Sabres, not the Penguins.

Yes you are correct. I got Duquesne mixed up with the Bonnies. I haven't even been to Olean NY yet. Hopefully next season (before it gets too snowy up there.

Shrewd folks head south in the winter instead of north. Just sayin'.

Totally with you on that Sly! I loved covering A10 but being in Alabama, Texas, Florida, Tennessee and Virginia covering CUSA was much more fun in terms of travel.
