Joey Reilly will play for the Crusaders
WORCESTER, Mass. – Holy Cross head men's basketball coach Brett Nelson announced today that Joey Reilly (Cromwell, Conn.) will attend Holy Cross and play for the Crusaders. Reilly will be one of five players joining the Holy Cross program for the 2019-2020 season.
A 6-foot-0, 170-pound guard, Reilly played at East Catholic High School in Manchester, Conn., for head coach Luke Reilly (his uncle). A two-time Connecticut High School Coaches Association first team all-state selection, he is East Catholic's all-time leading scorer with 1,828 career points. Reilly averaged 20 points and six assists per game as a senior, while earning player of the year honors from the Hartford Courant. He led East Catholic to a pair of state championships in 2019 (Division I) and 2016 (Class L), three Central Connecticut Conference titles and an overall four-year record of 104-7. Reilly also played AAU ball for the Middlesex Magic.
“We are really excited to have Joey join our basketball family here at Holy Cross,” said Nelson. “He is skilled and tough, but most importantly he is winner who makes everyone around him better.”
Holy Cross will be entering its first year under Nelson in 2019-2020. The Crusaders finished the 2018-2019 campaign with an overall record of 16-17.
Lowder, Pridgen, and Wade sign NLI's

This group should make an immediate impact on our program.”

I think too many brain cells are being used up trying to figure out what the scholarship situation is but I guess speculation is one of the things that makes the world go round.

If someone was to be leaving, it's very strange to me that the individual wouldn't have disappeared by now, with his name appearing in the transfer portal.
I need to have a word with the staff - I'm having a hard enough time this year with Twas the Night......am I going to have to make some Christmas Eve edits!?

Bison137 can help out here, but I don’t think Reilly can be on scholarship this year, get his scholarship lifted as a sophomore, and then have an incoming freshman pick up that scholarship. This would kind of be gaming the system, having more than 13 scholarship players on a roster, in a way. This really is foreign territory, not knowing 1) who’s on scholarship, 2) who may be transferring, 3) who could be incoming as either an additional 2020 recruit or incoming transfer. Wild stuff. CRW 'borrowed' a scholarship for a rostered player for a year, used the scholarship for another player for that year, and 'returned' the scholarship the following year. The player continued to play during the year his scholarship was 'borrowed'.

Are you kidding? With performance so problematical, we expect even more to lift up our spirits! Actually, we have confidence that NAD will give this his best...as he always does...and it will be a special Christmas present to all of Crossports.

Piece of cake - carry on, Dave.

The player continued to play during the year his scholarship was 'borrowed'. I don't think that scholarship was ever used on another player. I believe SOV has it right -- once a player is "officially" recruited and/or receives a scholarship, he counts against the 13-scholarship limit for as long as he's on the roster.

Willard never had 13 scholarship players plus the player you’re referencing here on a roster.

I know it's been discussed here before but please humor me, are athletic scholarships a year to year thing or a 4 year commitment from the college to the athlete. They generally are year-to-year. Athletes have complained about that, particularly football players. A big selling point in the IL is that you retain your financial aid even if you are no longer playing a sport.

Do we need to revisit some of the past messages, e.g. "scholarship offer" versus "opportunity to play" and what players were shown signing NLI's? I think the thought that somebody is leaving is not too far-fetched..... We missed a bread crumb somewhere.

Having read all the evidence and comments above, I now think it is highly likely that Joey Reilly is not on scholarship. That's the answer.
