In a season of constant roster changes, the Erie BayHawks add another player to their roster in former Stanford standout Jeremy Green. A 6-4, 200-pound guard, Green declared for the NBA Draft after his junior season in 2010-11, but wasn’t drafted. From Austin, Green averaged 16.7 ppg. and shot shot 42.9 percent from 3 in [...]

The New York Knicks fans have been chanting MVP…. and it’s not for Amare Stoudemire or Carmelo Anthony. Second-year player Jeremy Lin has been showered those chants. Now don’t get me wrong. He’s not an MVP candidate, but Lin had another standout performance in tonight’s 107-93 win at Washington against the lowly 5-21 Wizards. Only [...]

Hard to imagine an undrafted player who has spent time in the D-League in his first two NBA seasons being the answer at point guard for the New York Knicks. Then again, who would have thought they’d have a losing record at 10-15 with Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire and new addition Tyson Chandler. So it [...]

When the Erie BayHawks play at Bakersfield against the Jam on Thursday night, it won’t be in a typical arena.

The only person after Erie’s 98-93 win tonight against Sioux Falls at Tullio Arena who didn’t know Keith McLeod had 22 points in the 3rd quarter was, well, Keith McLeod. “No clue,” McLeod said. “(I) had no clue. I knew I was making shots.” McLeod’s hot shooting also blinded Kyle Goldcamp to the fact he [...]

When he was in the NBA, Anthony Mason was a tough guy. He played for one of the toughest teams of his era – the New York Knicks – when Patrick Ewing, Charles Oakley and himself protected the painted area with size, force and intimidation. Those days are long gone in his opinion. “Now you [...]

All newly acquired Erie BayHawks point guard Keith McLeod knows is he put the ball in the basket more than his head coach did for Bowling Green. BayHawks coach Jay Larranaga and McLeod shared a laugh after Thursday’s practice about who was the better player at Bowling Green. I jokingly asked McLeod, ‘Who is the [...]

When Blake Ahearn was with the Erie BayHawks last season, I took free throw lessons from him and became an ace at the line. OK. OK. I’m exaggerating, but he did help me learn how to shoot free throws better. It’s in the feet, people. The feet. Now with the Reno Bighorns, Ahearn surpassed the [...]

It may have been a blessing for Booker Woodfox. When the Erie BayHawks released him after only two games in 2009-10 and didn’t play him, the point guard got more serious about his game. “I think when I came to Erie, I was a little bit out of shape,” Woodfox said. “So when you come [...]

Kyle Goldcamp stays with it. He does not back down. “You know me by now,” he said with a wide grin. “I’m going to put my nose in the middle of everything.” For players like Sean Williams, Goldcamp is a handful. See, Williams has talent. Hops. Some skill. Can shoot for a big fella. He’s [...]

The 7-footer averaged just 7.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks for Erie as a rookie last season. Someone that tall should dominate the D-League. So if anyone needs [...]
