….If Lafayette wins the PL Tournament, who will be the Head Coach next year?
Will the Ursinus Alum be a Head Coach next year in his present school or another?

Watching the AU vs Lafayette game. Guess who is starting for The Leopards….. A 7 footer who should have been in Purple this year. 🤬 Hope he scores 20 plus this afternoon. SMH, how HC took Wilbar instead of JVB. That alone shown malfeasance regarding recruitment assessment. My guess is Nelson passed over him thinking he could get someone better, but that didn't happen and he (regretfully, from both our viewpoint and Nelson's) signed Wilbur. Can't imagine he thought Wilbur was better than vdbomb. |

I have heard that our staff was not interested in Vander Baan in high school. Is there reason to believe Vander Baan Jr wanted to come to HC when he entered the portal?

Wife and I were at that Asheville game. I wanted to see Neil play so we drove up from NJ and met a classmate and his son at the Hart. HC won easily. Neil was very good along with the rest of the team. UNC Asheville had no chance. Those were the days, my friend. We thought they’d never end. Imagine a random non-conference game against a low-major during Christmas break and both sections behind basket at least decently full. Man how times have changed! |

Great evaluators of talent passing on JVB and settling on Wilbar, who just about everyone here knew wouldn’t amount to a contributor. Maybe JVB didn’t know where he wanted to go. That’s why schools recruit and pitch a kid. Nelson took Wilbar instead of a kid who 1) grew up all but next to the school, 2) watched his cousin star at the school, 3) was awarded a scholarship by an ACC school (if he was good enough for BC, he’s good enough for HC), and 4) was being recruited by a rival league school. Stop this madness, ADKH. |

Stop this madness, ADKH. Once again, do we know that this staff passed on JVB after he entered the portal or are we guessing? I suppose we could be critical of the staff if they recruited and lost out on him. There are plenty of examples of things we can be critical of. Adding failure to even recruit a talented local kid seems harsh since we're not even sure the staff didn't reach out. With a long list of issues we know about, do we need to add issues we're only guessing about to make the list longer? |

After trying BC, VDB may have wanted to get away. People are making it sound like he was our territorial draft pick like in the early days of the NBA.
