We are involved with more lefties now than I can ever remember.  Rowan Jr. is super-talented.  I am blown away by the talent he plays with up there.  It's crazy.  Make Rowan Sr. an assistant coach, and we can create a pipeline for the ages.

Being a lefty, I've often wondered how difficult it would be for a team to guard three or more lefty starters.  Obviously, defenders need to adjust whenever they play a lefty because of the tendencies to go to the left.  But three or more? I'd enjoy watching it, especially if they can play - lol

I wonder what kind of relationship Barrett has had with SJU since he graduated?

Not too much out there - have to get it from insiders.


Here's an interview about NYBL - he seems like a reasonable, caring dad in this piece:
