Kenny Hasbrouck graduated in May after finishing the most
important career in Siena history. He was the first recruit to commit

Consider this: McCaffery inherited a team that set a program
record with 24 losses in 2004-05. He led Siena to a program-

Tennessee, Oklahoma State, Pittsburgh, Saint Joseph’s,
Kansas, Northern Iowa, Ohio State and Louisville. They
