Just sent this message to Coach Nelson and staff and assorted other great Crusaders and loyal sons of Holy Cross. I welcome sharing it here with the faithful who frequent these parts.
Coach Nelson,
I have received nothing but rave reviews on you from my great friend and colleague, Whitey Moynihan '83. He informed me that many others in college coaching circles have also spoken very highly of you. Welcome to Holy Cross. I certainly look forward to meeting you personally.
Whitey indicated that you have expressed interest in our formal 90-Wide Mentoring program. Having spoken with Coach Kennedy on this topic last spring, I want to reach out to you today to inform you that on behalf of everybody involved in our best in class 90-Wide Mentoring, we welcome including the Men's Hoop program at Holy Cross in our formal 90W Alumni Mentoring effort.
For purposes of background, we launched the 90-Wide to support Crusader Football in the fall of 2009. The name is a blend of the original 90 alumni mentors (now 135 covering 30 industries nationwide) and the 5-wide spread offense that the Crusader Football team ran then and still does today. The 90-Wide impact has exceeded any and all expectations that we may have had. That said, we are never satisfied and always aspire to greater heights for the 90-Wide and everybody involved so that we can further the divide for our best in class program from any pretenders operated at other institutions. In short, the 90-Wide is the ultimate "everybody wins" sort of effort.
I do not want to go on too long at this juncture and bog you down with details but rest assured the 90-Wide will be impactful in so many ways for your current Crusaders and prospective Crusaders whom you recruit to the hill. The parents ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!
Perhaps we can arrange a time to meet the next time I am in Worcester and then maybe we can get a short bit of time with the team to discuss the specifics of the 90-Wide. I will defer from writing more but I welcome providing a few attachments:
1. The 90-Wide Master Mentoring File
2. The 90-Wide Impact Report (personal stories of Crusaders who have benefited from the 90-Wide since inception. These are all exceptional. I would encourage you to read the stories of Gary Acquah '14 and Jon Smith '14 especially. WOW!!)
Oh, there is one other point I want to share with you.
With the growth in the 90-Wide given the on boarding of the Men's Hoop Program, the 90-Wide board of directors voted unanimously to name Whitey Moynihan as Co-Chair of the program. We have already communicated this great news to Whitey and he graciously accepted the position stating, "Haha, . . I'm honored to accept this position. As a newly appointed co-chair I order a smoothie machine for Men's Hoops and unlimited Apple Juice boxes for the footballers as they were in great demand at the Thursday Night Touchdown Club's inaugural dinner!"
Let's Win!!

P.S. I welcome sharing this great news not only with your staff but also Coach Chesney and other great Crusaders and loyal sons of Holy Cross. Teamwork truly does make the dream work.
P.S.S. Nick, Marcus, I want to make sure that you both know that I welcome speaking to both of you and Coach McInerney as well regarding getting our Lady Crusaders involved with the 90-Wide as well either directly or indirectly via launching a separate mentoring effort. Whatever might work best. Always happy to help.
