Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25

This will be his 4th school is 5 season
Well, I wasn't aware of that. A li ttle surprising he made all-A10 1st team being a newcomer to the league but I guess his stats couldn't be overlooked. Yes I'd be very interested in Ma native.

Did big guy even start at SJ's? IDTS. They probably overpaid for a large presence in the middle rather than a program-turner they hope they got.

"underwhelming" Yeah I'd agree with that. Never saw him play -that I can remember- but I don't think he can hurt you offensively and as long as he doesn't fire up 10-15 shots you are probably ok with what you get. If he is playing good D. Don't think he's much of a distributor. Some price...

Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25

Fairfield has four g's in portal. Stags have beautiful new (small) arena perfect for a school of their size. I guess it didn't matter.
Hope AMiller is giving Jalen Leach a call. I think 6'4 Nyack native could do some nice work here. Kind of FG percentages I like to see : 48.8 35.4 89.5

Prov loses a lot. But they are likely to lose even more than that from this roster. There is a good chance Pierre leaves with those upperclassmen.

Re: NY Giants

Pats are giving 3.5 pts. They probably deserve to be the favorites. But it won't matter if Jones has another game like a fortnight ago in Germany. They'll lose.
If QB keeps his wits about him I like them to win on a nice afternoon. Not what they need in Foxboro.

Of those three, Marquette had the good game with a road win. I didn't see it but Kolek had them in the lead pretty much from start to finish. I don't know how good UI is this season but they are usually very talented. They had a recent transfer problem.

I always thought the risk was there for WooSox. The game is in decline even though it has many things going for it.

Re: Conference Realignment

For the record:
Two teams declined the BE's invitation, Holy Cross and Rutgers (circa 1979).

One team accepted an invitation (1982) but did not receive the yes vote, losing by one (5/8).
So apparently Villanova got Gtn,SJ to go along with them and block Joe paterno.

Re: 2023 Men's Soccer

The film I caught didn't show it, but supposedly the Red Card was for kicking a player in the nuts. Automatic.
It not only makes you play a man down (leading to the loss) but also takes offender out of the next game. A very unwise move if true.
