44 checking in on the bball site. I had a chance to actually spend time at the football golf outing speaking with Coach Paulson. In my humble opinion, we have struck gold with this guy. Intelligent, engaging and truly understands what HC basketball stands for with all of us. He understands that filling the Hart Center and winning games is the goal for all of us. We also talked about the success of the football program. He has lots of respect for Coach Chesney and what he’s done with football. I told him that we need a successful bball program so we can bring our top flight football recruits there during their visit. He agreed. Great job KH! Oh by the way he has a plan for the future. The man is a strategist. Always appreciate your insight. Thanks for the info. I share your optimism with regards to CDP.

Huggins is now saying he never resigned and wants to be reinstated as head coach at WVU.

I think AJ could be the biggest “wild card” we have had in quite some time….. Only time will tell. The vast majority of us have little idea what we have until we see it on the floor. So much depends on how the individuals mesh as a unit.

HC has offered Taj Bryant, a 6’2” pg from Eagle Academy in NYC. I believe that is where Kevin Hamilton is coaching.

It will be interesting to see how the Crotty connection plays out with the kids we have offered in the classes of ‘24 and ‘25.

I am going to guess it has been awhile since AJ Wills has played in a high school game.

Well, DP said that he tried to recruit Wills for Mason So he has known him for at least 3 years. That info is enlightening.

FBS would be a colossal mistake on many levels. Fortunately, it’s not something that will ever be considered. We are playing at the perfect level for Holy Cross in 2023 and the foreseeable future. I have never been a fan at least athletically of the PL, but when I survey the landscape of college athletics today I think HC is in an appropriate league.

Wills was also in the cast of Swagger, a series, (season two was just released), based on the life of young basketball stars such as Kevin Durant. Looks like the two seasons involve about 15 episodes so I have to assume Wills devoted considerable time to that as of late. Not sure when season 1 was released. 18 episodes in total and Season One aired during the last 3 months of 2021. Maybe this and the movie explain the Wichita State offer in 2021 followed by no more offers.

The movie was filmed in the Spring of 2022 which I believe would have been his jr year of high school. Sounds like most of his hs years were at LC Bird Hs in a Richmond suburb. Not sure where he was for his senior year. Interesting story.

There’s a lot to like in this incoming class’s mini-bios. I’d guess Colgate would have at least two or three mult-year contributors in this group. You would think. Langel is really working Magic in the Chenango Valley.

I don't see that as likely. DeMorat didn't do that and now he is signed. DeMorat played five years at Fordham. By that logic Sluka must play 5 years at HC (I kinda like that logic now that I think about it ) All kidding aside, the two QB's couldn't be more dissimilar in terms of skillsets. And, not that it matters, the undrafted DeMorat is still a long way from making a roster. Call me crazy but QB might not even be Sluka's best hope for making an NFL roster. Paging Jack Lentz.

Write the check and we continue to grow $5million is pocket change to make the transition One good season, the right conference and a bowl appearance and our P&L is strong Conference for allsports BC UMess UConn Colgate Fordham Syracuse Holy Cross Villanova William and Mary Richmond After Lehigh, Lafayette and Bucknell have been kicked to the curb, what do you suggest they do if they want to continue their century plus football programs? I don't expect you to come up with a future path for G.U. Even AI (artificial intelligence not academic index) is stumped by their football journey.🙂 Do you think they would care about us if those 3 were listed instead of HC, Fordham and Colgate?

Verbal Commits shows HC offering Zack Blackburn, a 6’4” guard from Worcester Academy. Everything I saw about him says he is in the Class of ‘25. This is his first offer.

I have no idea if Somerville visited HC or at least I didn’t until one of the prior posts. I did see from the the offers listed in Verbal Commits that all but 2 of the 16 kids CDP has offered have 9 or more offers. Up to 17 offers now. I didn’t count a big, Bejag?, that the prior staff offered.

Schofield played at the same hs as Patrick Whearty before transferring to South Kent. Schofield is ranked #15 in New England by NERR for the class of ‘24.

One of my favorite refs to see in the Hart Center back in the day, was Ed Batagowski.

According to Verbal Commits, HC has put 4 more offers out there. One for ‘24, a point from Marietta GA named Luke Flynn. He has 9 offers, HC, Dartmouth and 7 mid-majors in the South. The other 3 are in the class of ‘25. The three kids from the class of ‘25 are New England prep school kids. At least one, Ryder Frost of Beverly, plays AAU ball for the Middlesex Magic.
