Manhattan Getting Inside

Things continue to be shaky for Barry Rohrssen at Manhattan.
The New York gym rat's team won 16 games last year, but then got hit hard in the offseason.Already facing the loss of Devon Austin, a 1,000-point scorer, Rohrssen saw Chris Smith transfer to Louisville and Jamal Ferguson to Georgetown College (Kentucky).
Those are heavy-hitting losses, the kind that leave observers -- and Rohrssen -- wondering what to expect from the Jaspers this season.
Manhattan brings back some experience -- Darryl Crawford, who made third team All-MAAC last year is a capable scorer -- but just may not have enough talent to seriously climb the MAAC ladder.
The Jaspers also could have trouble getting back to that 16-win total, but their guards and swingmen could make them tough to play against.
