Hawk alum here.
They have a very solid class of transfers and redshirts to compliment a strong 2014 class coming in.
The freshmen are typical Martelli 4 year system players across the board led by Cardinal Hayes' own Shevar Newkirk. I've seen him play and he has a very good chance to be a star in the A10, yet not immediately. Sheed will handle him no problem.
James Demery is supposedly a prolific scorer. He along with 6'6 bruiser Markel Lodge continue a pipeline of NC recruits for the program.
Star sophomore Deandre Bembry is originally from NC by way of St. Pat's. No doubt next year the offense will be run through him with Galloway, Roberts, and Kanecevic all graduating this year.
3 star 6'9 freshman forward Obi Romeo, and redshirt Philly big 6'9 Jai Williams round out the newcomers. Martelli also landed Pitt transfer Aaron Brown last year who will immediately be inserted into the starting lineup.
All in all this is a rebuilding year for the Hawks. The Johnnies depth, versatility, and experience should handle a St. Joe's team in their infancy of learning and gelling into Martelli's system. Lavin should press early and often IMO. It takes months if not years for Martelli's teams to buy into his system and eventually play wonderful team ball. Case in point this year's NCAA team who progressively got better as a team each year. This should be an easy W in Queens.
