Yes, longsuffering's right. They updated the website with the returning players and the class they'll be in next year (and, of course, dropped Manis, et . al.), Faulkner is one of them.

That is good to hear. I hope by the start of the season (whenever that may be), she is 100%.

Faulkner's had health issues and nothing else.

HC13, I really don't want to belabor the Faulkner matter but I would suggest it's something other than a 'physical' health matter - simply does not add up that she was a major contributor (see minutes played per game) but appeared in 17 of 31 games in 18-19, and 18 of 30 games in 19-20. Fully agree that next year's prospects rely on her availability. Look forward to her senior season.

I understand, I have been told, but unable to otherwise verify that her inability to play had nothing to do with any disaffection with Holy Cross, the coaches or other players.

There could be medical conditions where if your levels of something are above a fixed target on game day or departure day for a road game, you are cleared to play, and if you aren't cleared to play it is medically advised you don't attend the game.
On the other hand there's nothing wrong with a choice to study or relax when you aren't cleared to play instead of being a cheerleader on the bench even if there is no medical reason it's necessary. Might be more fulfilling and should be an individual choice.

Faulkner coming back would be a positive development for the team’s ability to be competitive next year. Will be interesting to see if Magarity is able to keep all of the incoming Frosh and add any additional players.

I hope so too. Interestingly enough, can't recall an instance where 3 players in an incoming class have effectively been recruit by 3 different head coaches, Allen, McCormick & Davis verbal to BG, re-recruited & signed LOIs with AM & now are being asked to remain committed by MM. Power-Cassidy hopefully signs today.

The also list all the coaches returning. I wonder if that will change reasonable to assume that a new coach will bring in her own staff. I have speculated that Coach Mc had to go in spite of her record because it was a gracious way to get rid of Coach Parks without actually firing her

True, my comment was intended to be more along the lines of who, if anyone, will be retained. Also, we she bring anyone from UHN. Hogan Associate HC (who by the way was heavily recruit by HC) is the Interim HC at UNH. The remaining 2 assistants are relatively new, so no surprise if not. Of course the current HC staff is new also, Kirpas only 2 yrs, Healy (DOP) & Fitzpatrick were both new hires last season.

Kelsey Hogan is the favorite to be the new head coach at UNH but UNH has to post the job and hold interviews. If Kelsey doesn’t get the job she’ll join Maureen.

I curious, do you think she is more than likely to get the job after the "nationwide" kabuki dance search?

Heard from a former player on the women’s team that there were at least 3 other candidates—Shea Ralph, former UConn player and current assistant, a successful D-2 head coach and one other. No names of the last two candidates.
Don’t know if any of coachrt’s prospective candidates were contacted.

Maybe Shea Ralph would have been selected if ADMB's first hire of a long term D-1 Assistant Coach with no head coaching experience had a smoother first year. Hard to believe Shea Ralph would have difficulty getting a D-1 head coaching gig, but perhaps she wants to be able to stay local.

This past season which is her third season she went 27-3 with a 17-2 mark in NE-10 play. She has had stops at Wheelock as the Head Coach and Harvard as an assistant. Also, she is from Bishop Feehan High School and Attleboro, Massachusetts.

Hard to believe she won't be hired soon and succeed at her next stop. Her resume screams "Chesney model".

I'd be disappointed in ADMB if this was part of his thought process.
