SI has Terrell winning A-10 ROY. The most interesting non-URI related pick? They have St. Joe's finishing second-to-last in the conference. Not a lot of separation in those predicted conference records. I can see that happening, though- these teams will beat up on each other. I like some of the thi...

Following up on the above discussion, BC ended their recruitment of Falzon, and local guy Josh Sharma (Mass Rivals) just committed to Stanford over BC and Wisconsin.

FWIW, that site has been known to take quotes from others' articles and add in their own commentary. It resulted in some nasty back and forth on twitter a little while ago. That article has identical quotes from Zagoria's piece.

You're welcome. He's close with the Hurleys and has been up a few times and spent some time with the team. He also watched them play in Brooklyn at the A10 tournament.

Not a knock on X at all, just a comparison of the collective groups. No one is picking on Xavier.

This was what Dan was hinting at last year before the roster fell apart. Let's hope the injuries are kept to a minimum. Somewhat, but even with a full roster, the collective group of Garrett, Terrell, Watson, and Hare bring a lot more, athletically and otherwise, than Powell, Munford, Aaman, and no...

Maybe this thread can turn into general A10 news? Here's a great write-up about Bob McKillop. I think Davidson will take some hits as they adjust to the conference, but they- and their coach- are a very welcome addition. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/11729969/davidson-coach-b...

Borrowed my car again without asking, how rude. Heat fan? Wasn't aware, Ace. Not at all, but I'd take any kind of plates to get a car like that. I apparently prefer minor league type basketball, which I guess is why I'm a Sixers fan. Some day they'll compete- until then, they collect lottery picks....

Everything in that interview is pretty great. From the article: VP: Finally, let's talk a little X & O's. What style can we expect from the Rams this year?

Kohl is at Coastal Academy now in Jersey. It's a basketball academy, and I think the affiliated school is Calvary Academy.

"And maybe a reference to the brother-in-law in Field of Dreams." Huh? That guy was seeming so satisfied when others were piling on the criticism about Hurley, saying that the program couldn't recruit without Preston and Bobby, and he compared it to the brother-in-law in Field of Dreams f...

ESPN Analyst Updated 09/09/2014 Strengths: Kohl is a strong and physical guard that is smart and knows how to play. He can handle, pass and is a excellent shooter coming off a variety of screening actions. Kohl will post smaller guards and can get to the rim and finish with touch on straight line dr...

Yes, but then there were recruits to the cause. And maybe a reference to the brother-in-law in Field of Dreams. It was a dark time.

rodfromcranston wrote:Who's getting "worked up" about signing jucos?

Previous conversations on here. According to some, signing JUCOs, even though it never happened, was somehow proof that the head coach can't recruit and is something only desperate, stagnant programs do.

ace

I don't think anyone is hitting the panic button but its still a fair observation that PF's and C's are lacking on Recruitment Corner. Was it unclear that my comment about people getting worked up was in regards to signing JUCO's instead of players that will be freshmen? Otherwise, I don't really u...

It's also a fair observation that recruiting exists beyond what is posted here. Thompson first appeared here and verballed within 3 days. I like talking about recruiting, and I'll save my worrying about it until a time when the results aren't there. So far, so good.

Yes, there are always going to be more guards in the mix. I know some people get all worked up about this, but there are the JUCO ranks to pull from as well. Some very good programs have made great use of such players. There's a preference for getting freshmen guards to develop in this system, but ...
