Five trumps nine in my book. The head coach must be exhausted supervising this gaggle. The players need a score card and with NIL and booster money, who is going to keep track of this modestly compensated group and make sure none of them stumble into a financial violation?
I think a three person staff for a 12-13 person roster is optimal but who cares about high tuitions to fund staff inflation when the government forgives the loans that finance the tuition?

More shows the commitment level of the university to the program. It provides less work for the Assistant Coaches as they won't have to check on players classes, strength programs, etc and can actually focus on the actual coaching and recruiting.

It's not a concern for Bryant players who will all head to the NBA, but what do kids at other colleges do when the four years are up and all their hand maidens disappear? Not much of staff cost comes from endowment, it mostly comes from tuition and tuition has increased well above inflation. Nine staff for thirteen students in addition to all the Professors and their support staff, cooks, landscapers, etc., is feather-bedding to me.

It's about time. They've done some upgrades, but that gym was built for an NAIA team. It was fine for their years in D-II, but it's been over 10 years since they've gone D-I

But I know the law of diminishing returns so I hope HC staffs four skilled coaches and one DOBO, gets quality production out of all of them and avoids having an Army of guys in the Luth Center trying to look busy when the Head Coach or AD walks by.

Last year HC spent $425,000 more than Bryant on their men's basketball program. One thing to remember is that several of those on Bryant's staff are unpaid volunteers. They are largely there due to some connection they have that Grasso thinks will help recruiting.

According to ESPN, the NCAA Board of Directors nixed the proposal of unlimited transfers with immediate eligibility in every case. So for now, you get one "free" transfer as an undergrad.

"Need?" Hopefully none.

How many transfers should you need? Unlimited transfers for an individual with no penalty. Of course the question becomes from which college or university to you earn a degree from if you are continuously transferring.

Or student athletes should need unlimited transfers with no penalty? Far from the same thing

Humphrey is currently at a community college in Kansas. Drew Lowder committed to Tarleton State last year for about an hour, then de-committed and went to Cleveland State instead, where he's got all his priorities in order now.

"To grow my brand?" What the heck is his brand? Maybe he can get some NIL money from Allied Van lInes because he moves around so much.

Like Merrimac. Tarleton recently jumped to D-I. Unlike Merrimack, I think they were fairly recently D-III. At least Humphrey is getting a scholarship.
I wouldn't think Cleveland St would be handing out boatloads of cash to players under the name of NIL. I think many NIL deals are tied into the number of social media followers. If Lowder picks up some at every stop along the way (and people don't go through the exercise of unfollowing transfers), he should do better than most

Probably just me that's sick of reading about players that have transferred from Holy Cross. If they do so after graduating to get a post-grad degree, God bless them and much success (e.g. Avery Labarbera). Leaving because you got on Nelson's sinking ship, shame on you. Didn't you come to Mt. St. James with eyes wide open? I have no use for them.
I do read this thread more to see who might be coming to HC but I should probably just ignore it.

It goes without saying that all of these transfers are making a poor decision and landing at an academically inferior school that will not serve their lives as well as Holy Cross.
I am usually interested to see where these transfers wind up. Is it a step up, down, or lateral athletically? I don't normally bother to pay attention to see how they do at the new school , but I am normally curious about what school they attend
And it's worth tracking where Lowder is because now it's getting rather comical

Most, but not all all landed in inferior schools, at least for a graduate degree Grandison is at Duke

And discuss which bench was more comfortable, the one at Fitton or the Hart? I don't have a big issue with players who stay two years at HC, aren't able to crack the starting lineup and decide to bet on themselves elsewhere.
Our two PL ROY'S that left after one year are more puzzling.
