I appreciate your Christian charity. I lost mine when they killed off the Crusader.

i am setting 11-7 or better in the league as my mark for an acceptable season. Don’t care how he gets there within the rules.

If you feel it must be "within the rules" then I would say that you do care how he gets there...unlike a Callipari or a number of others. I like your PL number, but for me it matters how he gets there....and I am hoping for a better number than 11-7.

Plenty of coaches win with the hand they're dealt. A .166 winning % better be drastically improved on this season.

Quite true if the hand you are dealt has cards that can potentially win. It still depends on the cards...and whether or not your three best cards are taken away by former team members before the game even starts.

Sean Logan @sean_logan15 · 36m ago Very grateful to have received an offer from Bucknell University! If we lose Logan to another PL school, my concerns about Nelson will increase dramatically. The fact that the kid showed up (or was dragged) to an HC hoops event suggests dad is teaching the kid to bleed purple and Coach Nelson should have a recruiting advantage. IF the kid goes to Bucknell and IF the kid is not majoring in some engineering discipline down there, it might be an element of concern. Barring interest in some academic program the rival PL school offers that HC does not, I would be curious why an offered legacy chose a different path. All speculation at this point, but many things go into making the whole picture. Having kids we offer choose other PL schools is a part of the picture. While it's unrealistic to think that zero HC offers will choose other PL schools, IF it became a trend that had a larger percentage than our rivals, that would be piece of the puzzle that will capture the Nelson era Hopefully this concern is moot and even if he gets offers from every other school in the PL, he will know that HC is a vastly better place to be than any of those other schools and, in the long run, he will become a better human being by becoming a Crusader

Chris's job here is first as dad and second as loyal alumnus. If another school presents a better option (coach, style, academic opportunity) a father isn't supposed to say that the kid has to go to his alma mater.
Oh, and for all we know, the kid will go to some school because his girlfriend or buddies are going to be there.
But, I hope that Nelson makes him feel very wanted. We need a good sized guy who can handle the ball and run the floor.

As alum pointed out, Many factors enter into a 17 year old mind when choosing a college. Most parents allow their child to make that choice himself.
The hoops program Chris Logan chose and thrived in at HC was vastly different from the one that Sean will choose among.

My father went to Colby. I applied there and was accepted. I did not go there.
I'm not sure why some of you appear to find that unusual.

The hoops program Chris Logan chose and thrived in at HC was vastly different from the one that Sean will choose among. Agreed. I’m trying to think of a HC recruit since Chris that was as talented/highly regarded as Chris. He was one of the top bigs in NYC as I recall. No doubt the status/talent of our program at the time was a very significant factor in his decision. It was always strange to me how very very quickly our frosh recruits nosedived after that (we did shore things up (a bit) by bringing in transfers like Jim Runcie, Champ Godbolt and Jim McCaffrey).

The type of talent we had been successfully recruiting wanted to play on a bigger stage after 1980.

Thinking back about this, it seems Ralph Willard was the last guy to alter his approach to better fit the situation he inherited; none of the 4 guys who followed (2 established coaches and 2 rookies) went this route; rather, they stayed with what they knew. Along the way quite a few players took heat for not fitting in with a new style. Hopefully Coach Nelson will buck the trend, and the program starts kicking butt and taking names. We should learn a lot this year.

If Sean Logan decides to attend Bucknell or any other school we should not blame Coach Nelson. Let the kid pick where he wants to study and play ball.

6-10 bookends would be pretty nice. Legacies or not; never like losing kids to other PL schools (if in fact he is a HC priority, and if he does go to another PL school).
Speaking of the Bison, have to think this recruiting year is pretty critical to them as well. They seem to be dangerously close to losing that program swagger that they cultivated over the past 16-17 years. Such is life as a low major, especially in today's world.

The nosedive corresponded to our decision to.....(well, you know). All the ones that allegedly "got away" would have made for one hell of a team, but one hell of a team would have been needed against that competition.

The type of talent we had been successfully recruiting wanted to play on a bigger stage after 1980. Our lone NCAA appearance and short-lived national ranking were fun but both proved HC had a long way to go. And we got in a couple of recruiting classes in the wake of that success that were not spoiled by the Big East formation.
