Yes, I had a very brief conversation with CWC this past weekend. He acknowledged having one more spot (I don't think I am speaking out of school here) but wasn't about to talk about who or when to me about recruits whether he would use the spot or save it. We'll all know when it is the appropriate time. I did express my, and others, general concern that we'd like to see some height and facetiously said a 7'6" former HC player might have a year of eligibility left but probably not because he played professionally. He chuckled and recalled Mr. Fingleton. I know others on the board know him much better but I found him to be quietly personable - a listener, not a talker.

Another high level recruit, I'm sure

Brooks was a Carmody recruit. The notion that CBC is only pursuing players who have high recruiting pedigrees has no basis in fact. For example,Clayton Le Sann had no D1 offers other than from Holy Cross, and Jack Stevens' best other offer was from Appalachian State.

it will take some time, obviously! we were still a 20 loss team in the PL last year, no matter what we did in the last 6 games

He originally committed to Hartford, which finished 7-24 with a KenPom of 314. Since we offered him, his other new offers are from Morgan State (9-22, KenPom 305), Niagara (7-25, KenPom 324), and UMBC (7-25, KenPom 331).

Daly visiting UMBC and MSM this weekend. Wonder if we don't still have an open offer out there.

All seems quiet on the 2016 recruiting front. Putting the odds at 15% that we use that schollie on someone who will enroll at HC in the Fall.

Not that it means much, but the late signing period ends tomorrow

Taking 4 a year after taking 5 would be bad for balance. I don't really see how this would help with class balance for yall. Instead of the expected class in 2017 being 0-5-4-4 its now on track to be 0-5-3-5. I guess you have more of a spread between the classes with 5 players but it doesn't seem all that balanced anyways. There are some potential benefits of a lopsided class: 1) You could have reasonable expectations to make a run at the PL championship when that group is older, its within the realm of possibility for BU this year with 8-9 upperclassmen. 2) The class could naturally become balanced anyways with the reasonable expectation that 1-2 of the players could transfer out if they don't get the playing time they want. This can allow the team to more properly target and replace the players that were "busts" which could be the most highly-regarded guy you were bringing in anyways and not necessarily the guy you got late in the recruiting cyle. 3) It can be better to take a potentially less skilled player instead of leaving the spot empty knowing you are getting a sophomore version of that player compared to a freshman version of another player if you wait. Just some thoughts.

Ryan Daly committed to Delaware and new coach from Philly, Martin Ingelsby, who was just introduced today.

With the Daly commitment, I think we now know our team for 2016-17 if we didn't already. Let's get it done.

It looks like Daly was waiting to see who Delaware hired. Good for him - he's close to home, comfortable with the hire, and will have an opportunity for immediate playing time (maybe a lot).
Yup, looks like we have 4 open slots now in the 2017 pot. Still have the flexibility to hold on to 1 for a while after next fall, be in line for a transfer, etc.
Just itching to see some names of some kids 6-8 and up........guess I'll have to be patient for at least another 6-7 weeks.

Good for Daly and Good Luck to him! Hope Ingelsby is better than the last ND assistant who became a D1 head coach!

Brey's assistants have a terrible record as head coaches. Or at least they did as of a couple of years ago when I last checked.

And if his dad is interested in getting back into coaching, there might be an opening on Ingelsby's staff . . .

Yes- I mentioned this earlier as I was hoping someone would recall those names for us so we could publish the horrendous results for those coaches and enjoy the implied anti-ND nature of the topic.

Let's see.......there was Anthony Solomon at St. Bona.....Gene Cross at Toledo(?).....and of course SK. Let's see if the guy who keeps forgetting where his keys are can remember the record of those 3 (and honestly, didn't look this up today, but did once before): something like 45-162.....

You're very close Anthony Solomon at St Bonaventure= 24-88 = .214 Gene Cross at Toledo= 11-53 = .172 Sean Kearney at HC= 9-22 = .290 Composite= 44-163 = .213 It's ironic that Sean Kearney had the best record of the three..... If anyone knows of others, let's add them to the list

Sad, so sad. Why would anyone take a chance on any of Brey's assistants?

Although his former assistants have done poorly, Brey has been highly successful, even in the ACC
