Hey there basketball fans! Can you believe it? We’re just one week away from the start of the John Gallagher Era at Manhattan College. John Gallagher, a seasoned coach with over two decades of experience, is taking the reins of the Jaspers for the first time this year.
I gotta say, I’m pretty stoked about our guard play in the preseason. Sure, we’re still adjusting to the new offensive and defensive systems, but our guys are showing great potential. They’re not just talented players, they’re also fantastic teammates and true ambassadors of Manhattan basketball, which makes me even more excited!
Now, let’s talk about our bigs. In our system, versatility is key. And I’m happy to report that our big guys are stepping up to the challenge. They’re showing off their skills both inside and outside the paint. Of course, each player brings their own unique style of passing and scoring, but the best part is that they’re all eager to learn and adapt to the new system. That’s what I call dedication!
Our first game of the season is against Bryant on November 6. And let me tell you, we’ve got some tough non-conference matchups lined up. We’ll be facing off against powerhouse teams like Kansas and UConn. It’s going to be a thrilling start to the season, no doubt about it. And once we’re done with the non-conference games, we’ll be diving into Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) play on December 1 against Mount St. Mary’s.
Now, here’s something exciting for all you Manhattan fans out there. We’ve got 14 new players joining the team this year, along with three returning players from last season. That’s right, we’re building a whole new squad ready to make their mark in the green and white. Get ready to cheer them on!
