Point Guard: Wings: - Judson Martindale (6'6)*
- Da'Jion "Bubba" Humphrey (6'4)**
- Jalen "Bo" Montgomery (6'5)**
- Malcolm Townsell (6'5) (Junior)
Bigs: - Mike Rabinovich (6'10)
- Louth Coulibaly (6'8)
*Stretch 4 potential **Combo Guard potential
An outstanding job by Brett Nelson and his staff (seeming to be led by RJ and now Ferry on the Louth commitment) turning over a roster that was in shambles and bringing in a deep, talented, and balanced class.
Only time will tell just how good this class is, but I am getting more and more optimistic that HC could be 2-3 years away from coming back on the scene in a big way.

Joe Kennedy was the primary recruiter for Martindale and Rabinovich from their sophomore years, and continued to be until their commitments.

Everyone so far seems positive-- No talk yet about unbalanced classes, late commitments, few other offers, etc. I'm excited--I think we have a mighty fine class. It will be great to see the competition among the bigs, for example, hopefully making each other better in practices

On a windy, wet, miserable day...THIS list feels like a ray of sunshine! When will we see these names on the HC site as "official" with all having signed a LOI?

Rabinovich can handle both the four and five, depending on the match-up, and should be able to play alongside Coulibaly when we need to "go big." He did so on multiple occasions with Ogundele at WA last season. Really like the flexibility Nelson's built inside.

With those assumptions, we have a full 13 scholarship players and ready to roll. Looking forward to watching the 7 new guys in November.

What a nice ceremony. Speaks well to the young man and the people around him.

With the departure of Niego, does the staff go after a transfer big go back to Rodgers or another pg? just hold for next year? or is Copeland returning?

Three key characteristics that have been lacking from this program the last 4-5 years. RJ appears to have the exact type of makeup that this program needs from a Point Guard right now, and hopefully his play will also be at that same high level.

Safe to assume all 4 are signing their LOI today or is there an extended window because of COVID?

Extended to August I think

Physicality isn’t a word that has been associated much lately with Holy Cross basketball. Hopefully, that is about to change.

Traits mentioned so far: -Dynamic -Reliable -Leader -Experience -Toughness -Physicality
Nelson's culture shift is coming through loud and clear.

BCC culture is built on trust and respect recruiting on a 3-29 season is a big plus philosophy change for the future A plus culture -wow-if you think that has happened you have never managed people and no disrespect intended but if those are your thoughts about culture I hope for the sake of your organization you are an individual contributor.

BCC I apologize if an overreaction, but I helped transform two fortune 100 companies and a major non- profit so I am very passionate about how we use the culture word
