Both have Twitter. Neither very active in the last 9-12 months. A few re-tweets of things like HC hype videos. Nothing from either about transferring. Would it be normal for student athletes to post about the transfer process on social media before its official? Announcements of meetings / official visits, etc. I have Instagran (no Twitter, no FB) but dont follow any college age individuals so I would be out of the loop on the standard etiquette there. Not super active on social media myself, but I think it depends on how active a social media user the athlete is. Given how little activity there is on either account, I wouldn't read much into it one way or the other.

FWIW, per verbalcommits.com, Fairfield has no open scholarships. VC does, though, list both CG and JG as being in the transfer portal. First time poster, long time reader. Fairfield alum but with strong HC ties. Enjoy reading the board. VC has incoming FU freshman John Kelly as a scholarship player, but he is a recruited walk-on. So we do have 1 scholly available for the coming season. With respect to the comment..."From what I hear from Fairfield, none of the fans seem to be to excited about the possibility of adding Caleb."...I am not sure where that is coming from, but I am one FU fan that would be excited about having Caleb if he decides to leave HC. In terms of FU fans not being excited, I don't know if that's true but I would admit our message board thread is not overly exuberant, if that's where this is coming from. 1) at this point, it's just a rumor, 2) we lost a frosh guard, Neftali Alvarez, who transferred to Mercer after Sydney Johnson was let go. Alvarez was a 3-star PG, All-MAAC Rookie who we all would have liked to see stay. Some are still stung by his transfer, I think. 3) Most importantly, we really need a better PG or combo guard THIS season, and presumably Caleb would have to sit a year if he transfers. So some FU fans are still hoping we can find someone immediately eligible. In terms of not believing "he would leave HC for FU", I admittedly wonder if Caleb would in fact leave HC for FU. But I figured out a long time ago that 20-year olds think differently than I do, so who knows. Best of luck to Caleb whatever he decides.

Welcome to the board, danny, and for your insights from the Fairfield perspective. I sure hope Caleb doesn't leave but if that is what he wants, I would prefer he go with the Stags. Most posters here know I have two sons, one an alum from Holy Cross and the other a Fairfield alum. Let's keep him in the Jesuit family.

Official? What do you mean by official? It’s public knowledge they entered the ‘portal’....aka they are entertaining any offers to transfer.

"Thanks for nothing, Danny Noonan"--- Maggie
Alvarez's numbers were pretty mediocre 1 to 1 assists to turnovers, abysmal three point shooter; kenpom efficiency number of 88.2 is really low. Perhaps he is a great defender or has other qualities that don't show up on Kenpom's data sets. Caleb Green would look to be a significant upgrade, but of course I hope he stays a Crusader.

Remember that VC has less info on these transfers than anyone on this board. Their only sources normally are twitter, a few basketball sites, and emails from fans. No inside info.

CG is supposedly on campus, doing an internship. For those who attended, was he at the presser? Did he show any reaction? BN mentioned, at one point, that the team members were laughing about one of his remarks..

Boy, that must be awkward He has an internship and he is in the Transfer Portal or has transferred already ? Very strange

He wants to play with his buddies. There is also a desire to play at a different level than the PL. is the MAAC that much different I don’t think so but I’m not in his ear and/or advising him.

The MAAC was one of the lowest rated conferences. The PL was about ten spots higher Fairfield was-one of the worst teams in that league

Who are his buddies on Fairfield? That roster has a lot of international favor. Hard to believe he has a bunch of friends on that team. What is more realistic and probably is that Fairfield's new head coach (Jay Young) was the primary recruiter of Caleb when Young was at Stony Brook. Perhaps they have a good relationship and Young thinks Caleb could be the PG at Fairfield. Caleb knows what he's getting with Young, and doesn't know what he's getting with, then, an unknown HC coach.

Just because the teams in two different leagues are not going to win a national championship doesn't make them equivalent. The Ivy League has strong competition and was ranked 12th of the 32 conferences. The MEAC was 32nd and the MAAC 28th. A player will face much stronger competition in the Ivy than in the majority of conferences. In the overall landscape of D1 sports, the Ivy in basketball was far better than the CAA in football. And the top Ivy teams were better in basketball than the top CAA teams, including UNH, were in football.

I would love to see Bucknell come to Wildcat Stadium in the future!

Usually you are correct but in 2010 Butler lost by 2 in the NCAA title game as Gordon Hayward’s long shot went off the rim at the buzzer, which would have won the title. They were the only team to dance from the one bid Horizon League They also reach the title game in 2011. Again the only bid from the Horizon.

Right. And for God's sake, there is a basketball season and a conference tournament to be enjoyed. So the relative quality of each conference is very important. Total fixation on the NCAA tournament is a personal pet peeve.

It has to be rough on those Bucknell or Colgate or Lehigh or HC players to have to fake enthusiasm when they win the PL championship, pretending that it means something to them, that it's some kind of achievement

Again the only bid from the Horizon. which would have been the greatest finish in sports history, given what was on the line and the teams that were involved.
