I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact Bryant will soon be competing in a better football conference than HC.

HC has offered Max Green, a 6’6” guard from La Grange, KY. Green has 6 D1 offers, all coming this year. Richmond is among the offers. Apparently, Green plays with swagger. www.courier-journal.com/story/sports…

and then there were 13. There is now a full compliment of schollies for the coming season For what it's worth, the only time I remember HC announcing walk on's was the Coach Carmody group of Hart, Yeutter, and Lovisolo. It was done as a separate announcement from their scholarship classmates Hargis and Verbeek There are fifteen on the roster. Who are the two non-scholarship players so I can start rooting for them to get in games. Also the logical thought of what's preventing NIL from becoming a partial or full or more scholarship for walk-ons is interesting. If I was an NIL funder and supported a team with no established stars like HC, I would be tempted to sponsor the kid with the best personality regardless of whether he was a scholarship athlete or made a big contribution on the floor. I believe the two non-scholarship players are Capron and Mcintyre.

Among the real losers in this mess are the student-athletes who will spend mucho hours in the air which will add to the already massive amount of time college athletes devote to their sport. I almost said sports but we know the two-sport athlete has gone the way of the dodo.

Is the 2 pm start a way to give players/coaches a little extra travel time for the Christmas holiday? Can't see any other reason to deprive the thousands of fans that want to attend. I'm probably out too. It gives you a chance to go home and send out those last minute Christmas cards.

I do believe Nugent and Quinn were teammates at Tabor Academy last year.

Imagine a twenty team conference in hoops with two divisions. If you play everyone in your division twice and everyone in the other division once, that’s 98% of your schedule. Can a 40 game regular season be that far away?

It’s sad to see a highly respected conference like the PAC 8/10/12, the Conference of Champions, fall by the wayside. At the rate things are going, these mega conferences will see teams facing each other in football what, once every four years, maybe longer if annual rivalry games remain in place which I suspect they will.

Would it be impossible to get either UMass or URI to the Hart? URI hasn't been good since Dan Hurley. UMass hasn't been good since a brief stint with Chaz Williams and Derek Kellogg. This shouldn't be impossible to do with these schools. What if we tried to do a 2-for-1 with them? I think history has shown they'll do a 2 for 1 if the 1 is at the DCU Center. How depressing is a game like that at the DCU with 2-3,000 people in the building?

Our home schedule is weak and SOV suggested (no doubt correctly) that the final home game would be similar to what our OOC games have been for a while. Hoops was making the point that the road OOC schedule this year has some good opponents. Just who do you expect to walk through the doors of the Hart Center to make the OOC home schedule more appealing?

Looks like AZ will be the next school to the Big 12.

Honestly there is nothing about the PL that makes me think rivalry, only a required game on the schedule Strong second. The development of rivalries the good Father envisioned never happened.

The season ticket announcement says there are 13 home games so I assume there is one yet to be announced. Another assumption is it will be commensurate with the level HC has chosen to compete at for many years. In other words, a low major opponent. True, possibly (pending the unannounced home game)if you count only the home games. Not true, if you consider the three away games vs BC, GTown and St. John’s. I haven’t finished my first cup of coffee so perhaps I am missing something but what do road games have to do with an announcement of 13 home games? Nine PL homes plus Q, SHU and Maine equals 12.

Another assumption is it will be commensurate with the level HC has chosen to compete at for many years. In other words, a low major opponent.

The competition and his teammates in his games’ video did not seem very strong. I assume you are talking about Holyoke High because that wouldn’t be the case at Governor’s Academy. I believe last year was his first at GA.

Thanks, 92 Do you know his size ? Looks like he is a 6’2” point guard for Governor’s Academy. He played for Holyoke HS before transferring the GA and reclassifying to ‘24.

The second men’s Elite Camp of the summer is being held today at the Hart Center. From what I have read about such camps, most of the attendees get an invitation. We need a mole to copy the sign-in sheet.

Baed on what has transpired over the last 75 years if not longer, I don’t think anyone has to fear HC will sell its soul for athletic success regardless of the athletic level at which the college chooses to compete. Hard stop.

It appears the remaining games to be filled on the schedule are home games. I am guessing they will come from the following: Assumption, Stonehill, Merrimack, Sacred Heart, Brown, Harvard and Dartmouth. Cross Brown off the list.
