Yep, I cover MAAC basketball. I'm about a 40 minute drive from Manhattan's campus, without traffic and I work just 30 minutes away.
They actually have 10 scholarships filled. The four players on the roster are their four returning players (one is a walk-on). They've added four D1 transfers, one JC transfer and two HS graduates once Gallagher was hired. Probably their best transfer is former Hartford guard Briggs McClain, averaged 14.4p, 35.1 3P%, 83 FT%.
With all the transition, I don't know the current program super well, but I do know that Raziel Hayun was played professionally in Israel before committing to Manhattan. Averaged 15.6 mpg in his freshman season and I'd expect him to breakout this year.
That would be a ton of fun.
Whenever I think about MAAC basketball vs. UConn, I think about the game at XL where Monmouth forced UConn to OT back in 2017. I remember right near my seat, a dude got up and Ed yelled what the ** is happening...we're playing duck** MONMOUTH!!!d
