Saying Kostecka did anything else than torch us as a junior and senior would be an outright lie. And saying he "always" torched us would be as well since Loyola lost all four games to HC in his first two years. BTW, to be an outright "lie" would mean that I knew the original statement was true but I said otherwise. That is not correct. You might want to be more careful with your language if your knowledge does not back it up.  |

Bottom line, Kostecka is a player that should not have been passed on signing. While I am having an issue seeing the box scores from his freshman and sophomore years to see the points scored, I remember watching the games against Loyola seeing his off the ball contributions and wondering why is that guy not in Purple particularly since he had committed in his Junior year in High School.
Back to topic…Hoping that Khalil will have very good four year career at HC.

"Saying Kostecka did anything else than torch us as a junior and senior would be an outright lie" OK, if no one said that, then it had no place in the exchange, so I apologize for my misunderstanding what that post meant. |

I have to check my parish calendar to see when Lent arrives so I can put these arguments on the back-burner for weeks as I head off to my annual hiatus (retreat?). In the meantime, "Peace be with you." Oh, just to get you all off track . . . . . is he related to Ken Singleton?  |

From a very reliable source, Carmody refused to return the phone calls from both son and father. Andrew really wanted to attend HC. Carmody refused to return several calls to the office. Yikes. Especially considering Carmody offered Clayton Le Sann... Amongst many strange recruits. IMO his specialty was unrecruited/under recruited players and guys who didn't want to be here if they turned out well. Whatever, he's gone and we still have a long way to go. I ran into MB up at HC when I stopped by during the "summer workouts" prior to his first season. We discussed several things but he was very happy that he had prioritized talking to his three inherited recruits and families to get them to recommit. He shared with me that two of the three he didn't view as being contributors for various reasons but that was less important than trying to make good on HC's prior commitment to them. The two left later but at that point it was their decision. |

Milan was a good man and a strong recruiter. Always very pleasant and willing to talk about the program the few times I ran into him. Glad he seems to be doing well.

Thanks,hoops. I've seen several game summaries and videos. It's not the highest level of comp but he has lots of games with very high 3 accuracy. The "combo" (PG) part of guard I'm not so sure about because he's always shooting in videos but looks to handle the ball confidently and certainly shoots it. Other than the ever-elusive big there's some decent talent there for next year.

Quiet on the Mr. Singleton front. Hope he signs his LOI.

Quiet on the Mr. Singleton front. Hope he signs his LOI. Not to disparage him, but do we know how good he is? HCDP probably needs to ask the question: "Would I have recruited this kid?" If the answer is no, then would it be the worst thing if for whatever reason he doesn't sign his LOI? |

If Singleton does not sign, that gives Paulsen little time to sign 3, if he chooses, or 2, again if he chooses.( I presume he will sign at least one.) If he waits until next season, he will have 7-8 scholarships available. Even with the portal, a very crowded class. |

If the answer is no, then would it be the worst thing if for whatever reason he doesn't sign his LOI? Sounds an awful lot like disparaging. People called Andrew Kostecka an academic signing, if you recall. If Singleton wants to play for Holy Cross, he should be welcomed to the school. |

I agree Crosspride. When he committed, Singleton did thank RJ Evans and if RJ saw him play and likes his game, that is good in my book.

I'm straying a little bit from basketball bit and sounding a bit like the old curmudgeon I'm turning into, but. . .
The College of the Holy Cross entered a verbal agreement with this kid. We are an honorable institution. Khalil should be welcomed into the family with open arms - even in the very unlikely event he has hands of stone and footspeed that rivals mine.

Are you speaking of your vertical or lateral footspeed? If vertical, I could live with it. But if lateral, we don't need any defensive liabilities.  While I certainly think CDP should honor the commitment, should there be a deadline in place for his signing up? I'm not even sure of when they put the pen to paper in the spring period - thought it was now. |

Yes, I agree HC committed to Singleton as much as Singleton committed to HC...and that should be honored.
I'm merely asking the question how good he is and whether this would be considered a "loss" if he doesn't sign his LOI.

It’s not disparaging at all. The coach needs to ask that question. He wants to succeed and do it quickly. He’s not disparaging the kid - merely asking a question that any D1 coach would ask.
SOV didn’t say the kid was of little worth. None of us know how good he is. DP eval may be much different than BN. Pretty simple to me.

Merely asking if the kid is any good. Cue Dan Hawkins “it’s Division 1 football” rant. |
