The thing that really scares me about this game is we beat BC, it is one of the final nails in the coffin for Hafley and it makes our coach all the more appealing to BC as his replacement.

Surprised they didn't review that Spence hit for targeting.

Pete Thamel, ESPN Sep 2, 2023, 09:38 AM ET Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print Army has emerged as the American Athletic Conference's top expansion target, sources said.
After a call with AAC presidents and ADs on Friday morning, it was clear that Army was the league's top choice to replace SMU, according to sources. Commissioner Mike Aresco has begun informally exploring Army as an expansion candidate.

Pete Thamel just reported the ACC has voted to offer membership to Stanford, Cal and SMU. The madness continues.

I’ll go with Lemoyne. Another Jesuit school still looking for 5 or 6 games. Lemoyne is playing Fairfield on 12-30 so I think we can cross them off the list.

Looks like Fordham was thumped by Albany over the weekend at least based on the final score.

I wondered the same thing. Whatever the reason, it weakens the Raiders in the front court. The only key player they lost was Richardson I think that Langel has few worries, especially in the PL. Oliver Lynch Daniels was a solid contributor.

Agree, but I was trying to think of events, like finishing his coursework this summer, which might have created the move- as I said just a guess I wondered the same thing. Whatever the reason, it weakens the Raiders in the front court.

perhaps he graduated in 3 years and has the opportunity for two more years of eligibility--- just a guess Timing seems odd.

Here is a curious one. Sam Thomson, a 6’9” forward who has played a lot of minutes at Colgate the last 3 years, just entered the transfer portal.

The thing I liked about Batchelder last year was as the season progressed, so did his offensive game. At first, he was basically a 3 point shooter. As the season progressed, he added a mid-range game and by the latter part of the year, he was successfully taking the ball to the hoop.

Looks like there is one more home game to be announced based on the wording in the season ticket announcement that 13 home games were scheduled. My guess is it will be the week between Christmas and New Years. It won’t be Williams as their schedule is out.

Kind of surprised HC doesn’t appear on the list of schools who have offered Isaiah Chappell, a 6’9” forward from the left coast who is prepping at South Kent CT this year. VC shows he has offers from Brown and 3 PL schools and according to Recruit the Bronx he has a GPA of at least 3.7. I came across his name on NERR.

...And why would we pay a former assistant basketball coach that much for his first head coaching job? And he somehow earned a bonus?? Outrageous.

Everybody likes a home game The more guarantee games you take, the more you skew your OOC away from home. D2/D3 helps balance that Last year HC played 13 OOC games. 6 at home, 5 away and 2 neutral. HC could have skipped the D3 games and found two regional low majors to have home and homes, but that would have meant 5 home and 6 away. Neutral (unless it's the Centrum) feels away so the schedule would feel like 5 home and 8 someplace other than home. It's a balancing act Personally, I would prefer sticking to D-! even if it means one less game at Hart. I'm also not a student stuck on a campus (possibly without a car) and go to most away games in New England. One of the early agenda items of the new regime is to get students to attend games on campus.

I am sure Holy Cross could get nearby D3 Johnson & Wales Univ like URI did. Posters on the Rhody board are very unhappy with the Rams entire home schedule.

Agree And until we improve, which will be this season, we will face that recruiting challenge. Winning helps us move forward and a national OOC schedule makes up for the burden of the PL Yes, our lack of success in the PL is like a dead weight to our recruiting process, no matter how good membership in this collection of schools makes some feel. Let’s see what the next month or so brings on the recruiting front. I thinks many high school stars like to make a decision before their sr season begins.

Close to home A beautiful campus Incredible Southern hospitality A very good academic institutiom And more Krispe Kreme shops than the Catholic Church has saints I know Princeton is Princeton but many of those same things applied to Happy.

Richard Scouting Report: Strengths: 3pt shot, post up game, drawing fouls, leadership, height (obviously), boxing out, pull up game Weaknesses: Court awareness, contesting shots, driving to the hoop, ball security, dribbling The offense usually runs thru him as he is a big kid who can facilitate and score. A lot of room for improvement on defense. Ball handling and driving biggest weaknesses on O. Aggressive in the post, resulting in fouls both on him and his defender. Fringe player at HC in a year. Will get attention bc of height. We'll see how he plays his Senior year Is this your own scouting report?

Richard's high school in San Antonio, Ronald Reagan HS, has more students than HC. Almost 3,400 in '21-'22.

Based on some stats I found while poking around Texas 6A basketball, Richard appears to be a kid who can shoot the ball. In 37 games, he made 47% of the just over 200 threes he took or 97 total made 3s. He also shot 80% from the charity stripe. 6A is the largest schools division in Texas.
