Holy Cross has lost some stars (Kevin Stacom, Walter Brown, and Bobby Kelly come right to mind) to transfer, but are there many examples of HC players who got little playing time and therefore transferred out? In the last 20 years, kids who transferred and actually played somewhere else - Josh Kramer, Joe O'Shea, Mitch Hahn. After getting decent minutes as a freshman, Kramer went to a D-II school and did play there. Depending on your standards, that may or may not count

Alright gentlemen. Enough of the idle speculation about transfers.
Did the coach, in effect, say they stay up on or active with potential recruits in case of injury or transfer. Yes. That statement has been thoroughly discussed and unless there is more information added, I don't see anything else to discuss sbout the coach's comment.
If you hear of or find a recruit pop on Verbal Commits or other such recruiting site involved with Holy Cross, fine post it. You find out that another kid is transferring in, find post it. If someone on the team announces they are transferring. Fine discuss it.
But speculating about who may be a candidate for transfer due to playing time (or any other reason) is off limits.
STOP.
NOW.
Yes, it is a message board but to remind you all
And to that I will add, the potential transfer of players still with the college.
Carry on.

Probably 5 games in March Yes. I take credit for the dumb acronym but someone else on Crossports first coined the phrase, which I think really captures the spirit of that time, which becomes even more mythologic given how fleeting it was. Who said it first? For the record, I hope no player ever transfers or quits for any reason. Was just pointing out 1) that it happens sometimes, and, 2) if a slot opens up, for any reason, my opinion is that we need a center, an heir apparent to JF.

At least we have this thread for if/when the speculation gets less idle...

Meanwhile Mr. Hahn, back after being injured, is shooting 30% overall for the season and 26% from 3 point range. Not a great year for the young man, not that he wouldn't be valuable here.
Oh, and the Mavericks are a stellar 7-17, not exactly an upgrade from what we're seeing in Worcester.

Future looks bright with the Frosh. Haven’t seen any recent activity involving any 2018s so either we don’t expect to have schollies to offer or we are moving forward very quietly and keeping some lines in the water with available players until we know for sure. If we have openings for next year, a strong first year transfer wouldn’t be terrible but would leave us short again next year. Having two empty or essentially empty classes on your roster is rough.

If we do somehow end up with a scholarship or two out of this mess hope we can find another diamond in the rough like Grandison so late in the recruiting process. Is it still too early to state what a disaster the sophomore recruiting class is, following program for 50 years and in my opinion this is the worst recruiting class in history.

Any rebalancing that can come out of these suspensions would be very lucky for Carmody. That said, it doesn’t seem like Carmody cares for balancing the classes or trying to build a successful program for the long term. Can’t blame him as I’m sure he’s got 2-4 years left max.

That graduated in '70? Yes, that was a pretty weak class, Not even sure if the seniors who survived 4 years were even scholarship players.

I believe of 4 full schollies [perhaps a partial or 2] only RW was on the roster in '66/'67 that was dominated by underclass starters... maybe CLS will become a great bball coach

I wonder how the sophomores feel about your observation...that they are worse than a recruiting class that currently has no one left in it as seniors?

The class entering in September 1971 was pretty weak as there was talk of Yankee Conference etc That was my class. Dave Holland and Mike Blaney were the two scholarship players and each scored under 100 career points. Doug Downey was on freshman team with them and was such a relentless defender that he made varsity as sophomore and I believe was eventually given a scholarship. Later Joe Carballeira transfered in and was a starter and big contributor as JR and SR I think the transition from Jack Donahue to Geo Blaney May have had an effect on recruiting

Blaney was hired in '72; his first season was 72-73.

RGS the empty senior class produced more than double the point output of the sophomore class in the one year the only member of that class competed. In addition, it's the worst class for more than on the court issues.

Trying to be a little positive here. I really like this freshman class which makes me feel a bit optimistic for the future.

Yes, Jack D. recruited Mike Blaney,not George... the temporary loss of scholarships killed the Class of 74 (save for Mal Moulton); that and the YC move killed 75 (and was certainly a factor in Kevin Stacom transferring to PC, although maybe not the only factor)
Joe Carballeira didn't transfer until a year later, George brought him in. And by then the YC move was known to be dead on arrival.
