Now we need an update to the chart of projected scholarship players on the squad. If you're looking for something official from the school, last year the roster was updated in the beginning of June. I would not expect anything earlier than that. Also when goholycross.com posts the roster they will not differentiate scholarship players from walk on players. Hart is a member of the team like the other 13 guys. In a spirit of team unity I would expect that the school will never say another word about his scholarship status. Stealing form WorcesterGrey on another thread, while removing an asterisk, this is an unofficial projection of next year's squad (obviously assuming no more portal entries) PG - Johnson, Reilly SG - Wade, Humphrey, Montgomery SF - Butler, Martindale, Townsel PF - Faw, Niego, Pridgen, Hart (walk-on) C - Coulibaly, Rabinovich Based on the projected roster above - I can't wait to see the competition up and down this roster.

I feel the same. Now if America can just "get healthy"...

Interesting tweet from Jason Thom. Love that Ferry "battled a blizzard" to get to see Coulibaly play. Making a kid feel special and wanted like this is the essence of great recruiting.
To see the Feb 9th game vs. Halifax, when Coulibaly posted 26 points and 22 rebounds, go to the "Complete Game Films" thread.

Ok. I’m impressed with Nelson’s recruiting. Very nice job assembling this first class. Excellent job, really.

not trying to be a spoil sport but.......6'8" and only 200 lbs? (Maybe my source was incorrect.) Take a look at the guy and at some of his game film--doesn't look like he gets pushed around a lot

VC lists LC at 215, and he looks a little bigger than that. We've brought in skinnier bigs . . .

It's not all that difficult for a kid with LC's frame to put on 15-20 pounds once he gets on an eating and lifting schedule.

Looking at some of these highlights, I'm convinced now Coulibaly is Canadian for Floyd. As in Ernie or Jehyve. I think it translates into both...

Bison on the Bucknell board denigrating Louth and most of our other recruits. Notes Louth's offers and no mention of offer by St Bonaventure and noted a report of interest by SIU. Says he has a chance to be a decent PL player and compared him to someone named Malachi Rhodes who played 5 mpg and averaged 1 point and 1 rebound for Bucknell this year. This guy is a pompous ass and I don't know why this board indulges him.

That is surprising. Bison usually has a good take on PL recruits and treats them fairly in his evaluations.
I wonder where he got such incorrect / incomplete information?

Great news! Just got our power back after 20 hours! The one thing that stands out to me is his wingspan..May be 6'8" but I'd bet he has a much longer reach..He needs some work as do all the freshman, it will be an interesting few months come October and the start of practice..Nelson and company have done very well on paper...a good beginning to building a championship program!

He didn't "denigrate" him. He's just not overly impressed. As to why he didn't note a Bona offer, that's simple. Bona never offered.

Ours was only out for four hours. Glad you are back in business. I am beginning to wonder if there will be an on-campus fall semester. We may not get the opportunity to see the new look Crusaders until 2021.

Truth be told, 137 and others on their board are not the happiest of campers these days. The "Fire ND!" thread is five pages long at the moment . . . This will all be settled on the court in due time.

Thanks, res. That sounds more like the Bison with whom I am familiar. It was that word "denigrate" (not in Bison's post, but in possum's) that threw me a bit.

If comparing him to Malachi Rhoades is not denigrating him then I don't know what is.

What evidence do you have that they did? Unless I am mistaken, no one here has claimed an offer was made. As far as I know, there was a single poster on one of the Bona boards who thought he is the bee's knees. I don't have authoritative sources inside the program, but I do have reliable ones. They indicate that they are unaware, and doubtful, that any offer was made.

With so many new faces, it's too bad that there will probably be no opportunity for the guys to work out together this summer

Bingo....what fans on message boards DON'T get excited about their recruits?? Not a crime as far as I'm concerned.

I made no claim that would prompt a request for my source of knowledge. I have no idea what Bona or any other school did or didn’t do. Neither do you. That’s my only point. I’d get out of the business of getting in bed with 137. You might get fleas.

With all due respect, I do.
And thanks for the advice. But, I'll let you pick up fleas anyway you choose if you allow me the same.
