That doesn't even look like him. Family going to have a bit of a road trip to watch him play. Just curious - does anyone know if Judson Martindale found a grad school home? Wonder if he got shut out. Per Verbal Commits (& CK), Jud landed at Cal State Northridge Thanks rev! |

The long and winding road. . . .
remember when SOV had kiddingly announced "Pridgen hits the portal again", I actually bit, but Joe didnt let us down. How'd you like to interview him for a normal job opening in you're organization. "Joe, we've put a lot of time and effort into this job search. What are you're thoughts on feeling comfortable with the sector leader, known for good pay, moving along high performers, and treating employees well?" "Hmmm, that sounds a little scary, but I'd probably commit to a solid month". He better be prepared to answer that question on his interview. This move might not be such a big deal assuming he graduated from Northeastern and is going to grad school. Probably a total non-factor if he has realistic plans to continue playing basketball in Europe |

Europe? Not NBA? You lack ambition for this former revolving door Crusader.

Judson's played before a lot of sparse home crowds at both HC and Pacific- they averaged 1,250 last year for their home games.

I'm not talent expert, but based on his college trajectory, I think Europe is being ambitious Europe has a ton of teams and as long as you play in the USA, you can find a team that will bring you over. Does it mean it is a high level team? Absolutely not. |

Does it mean it is a high level team? Absolutely not. that's true and having known a few who've looked at it, it can be a tough way to make a living at the not-so-high levels. The more realistic ones look for a real job or try it for a year, enjoy the travel and then get a job. |

Northeastern's average composite SAT scores are significantly higher than HC's. I don't follow. Do you think this was a factor in him transferring in or out of Northeastern? I think the JP comments are more about his propensity to always keep a bag packed. |

I think the JP comments are more about his propensity to always keep a bag packed. IMO, his transferring to UNC Wilmington was a move to a somewhat less academically challenging school. His move back to Massachusetts was to an academically rigorous school. Assuming he received a diploma from Northeastern after two years, then, again IMO, he did all right by himself. Looking at his 23-24 starts, played in only 17 games, started 12. Likely he was injured. If, as suggested, he may have eyes on playing in Europe, he may need to demonstrate that he is healthy again. Mixed reaction from Grizzly fans. Comments about the very late commitment, and wondering how there was an open slot. egriz.com/threads/joe-pridgen-commits.93874/ |

He split the scene mid season, which is why he played so few games.
Hmm....what if he gets sick of the Big Sky midseason - could he transfer for one semester to some school in the southwest? Then he would have all 4 geographical corners of the country covered.

Being a basketball Nomad is one way to see the country. Isn't this his 4th school?

Have a very close friend who is a big benefactor at St. Bona - he said that they’re very pleased that Schmidt pieced together a good roster ‘without paying the big bucks, we’re paying about $75000 to most of the roster’. I find that interesting

Maybe Joe is a walk-on at Montana with a base NIL payment to cover tuition and a per-game bonus because of his frequent and getting sooner in the season departures?

Northeastern's average composite SAT scores are significantly higher than HC's. Northeastern reduced student head count as HC increased it. Northeastern's middle 50 (25-75th percentiles) SAT composite score for the class of 2027 was 280 points higher than HC's middle 50 SAT composite. Are you suggesting that one way for HC to become more selective is to reduce enrollment? |

The "I Want To Go To College In Boston" effect.
And I bet the top heavy test scores are those of students in the technical areas such as engineering; areas HC doesn't offer.

Are you suggesting that one way for HC to become more selective is to reduce enrollment? When HC reduced spots for men in 1972, it became more selective for men. Interestingly I can't recall if it was easier for a male or female to be accepted to HC in the early years of co-education. Hopefully it was very similar. Now that men appear to have less interest in college than women, I wonder if men have some slight advantage as colleges seek to keep a decent balance between the genders? I'm not advocating for HC to shrink. I just recall that at some point in recent history NU changed it approach from being an academic supermarket to more of a Whole Foods sized institution and it coincided with their climb in the rankings. |

If Jud's W.A. classmate Rabs enrolled at Babson or Brandeis for grad school and used his Covid year of eligibility (plus a medical red shirt year?) to play basketball, with good health could he be a 15/10 guy? |
