I am surprised that Paulicap is not picked up immediately. He is a solid defensive player and good rebounder. Plays with lots of heart. He appeared not to be the same player after a year off because of injury.
Tough loss for Siena no doubt and may lesson the perception a bit that the Saints are the odds on favorite to be league champs. However some on their board feel they have the manpower in place to limit the damage, so we'll see. Interesting situation to follow though.
New benchmark in transfers with no end in sight means the idea of how a college team is put together is totally different than it was even as little as a decade ago (whether you like it or not). Progress or lack of is in the eye of the beholder I guess.

Carpenter is going to be pretty good most likely...but depending on what Siena does with last scholarship...this certainly hurts. No way around it.
Hard to judge at this time if the list Of players Transferring out is really a negative impact to the league.The the transfer out of players needs to be netted against a list of the transfer ins to determine the impact. My guess is the mid-majors will lose more then they gain with all of this transferrinG. If the NCAA passes the waiver legislation allowing any player to transfer and be immediately eligible the situation worsens for the mid-majors.

This list shows again that the mids have become sort of a minor league type proving ground for talented players that can be targeted for transfer by the bigger programs. The NEC in particular as well as the MAAC has been destroyed in this manner recently. But it also shows that MAAC schools have been doing a nice job of recruiting some very fine players in the first place, and that in itself means we as fans are watching a pretty good product even if the impression is it is not great basketball.

A different way to look at it:
Of the 17 All-MAAC players in 2019-2020, 5 are done with eligibility as best I can tell, 7 transferred out and 5 return.
All-MAAC Players leaving (2019-2020 honors)*: Paulicap (3rd Team ALL-MAAC) Salnave (2nd Team ALL-MAAC) Kelly (2nd Team ALL-MAAC) Scott (3rd Team ALL-MAAC) Marfo (2nd Team ALL-MAAC) Vaughn (1st Team ALL-MAAC) Estrada (3rd Team ALL-MAAC; ALL-Rookie Team) *all are going to power conference schools
Incoming power conference players: Nelson (Seton Hall/Manhattan (I don't believe he is immediately eligible)
Of course, the MAAC has many other incoming transfers, just not from Power schools.
