Christian Moore from NMH and AOF still available. 6’6”. #29 in New England. Had some higher offers back in the day but now seem mostly of the low major variety. Army, CCSU, etc. Moore commits to the Citadel.

Jared Billups, a sg from Siena, just entered the portal. HC was 1 of 11 schools to offer him in hs. Two years of eligibility left. Billups is a very physical looking guard who is touted as a lock down defender. Averaged 8 ppg as a sophomore. Had multiple PL/Ivy offers.

I read an article recently that said in addition to his 3 full time assistants, Musselman has a support staff of 13 or 14 people at Arkansas. Video co-ordinater, QC coach, recruiting co-ordinator. It has gotten crazy.

There are some fair arguments here, but to some of us the whole Fr. Brooks/Big East thing is ancient history not worthy of ongoing angst. We shall be talking about it on this board for at least the next 20 years Talking about the Big East decision today is like talking what happened in 1930 when Potter and Vicens arrived on the scene in the mid seventies. It’s ancient history.

Bowling Green, (hello Kit), had 3 players enter the portal this morning including a point, Kaden Metheny, who we offered almost 4 years ago when he was a rising senior. He had 20 offers according to Verbal Commits including 4 high academic schools. I think he has 3 years of eligibility left due to a Covid year followed by a medical redshirt year. Averaged 10 ppg as a frosh in 20-21. No Bowling Green pipeline as Metheny commits to Liberty.

I believe teams can practice until the final four ends At least that used to be the rule We know almost everyone has practice for x amount of hours for 6-8 weeks in June/July.

The first team practice was last Saturday. It would be interesting to learn whether Bo participated. If he didn't, he may be on the roster simply because he has not yet officially told the school he is transferring. Playing a sport in college has become a year round commitment. Anyone know how many hours of bball practice the NCAA allows outside of the usual Oct to March timeframe?

Not all the Rens are high academic kids Moore appears to be based on an offer from Rice.

Is there a portal entry in his future? There is but he only has one year of eligibility left.

Something CDP said during his press conference that I found interesting was, (I am paraphrasing), It's been my thought from watching many games over the years that teams often do more to lose games than they do to win them. From the beginning, we have to be very good going things that don't require a lot of talent. Limiting teams to one shot, taking good shots, not fouling, not turning the ball over, etc. Makes perfect sense.

This will be Brookshire’s second transfer. He played for Mizzou as a frosh in ‘21-‘22.

Just so night and day from the last guy. Wish next season started tomorrow. People are different. I think CDP brings a lot to the table and anxiously look forward to seeing what he and his players can accomplish. Any guesses on the significance if any, on the number 23 on the jersey he and Kit held.

Can't wait for the change in culture. Anyone seen Twitter hashtags yet in the same vein of #AttackAndServe I will not be missing any of that. Thanks for the reminder.

As others have pointed out, can you get a BA/BS degree while only attending a school for your senior year. I don't think you can at HC.

A good part of the coaching community has a lot of respect for DP. A former coach whom I am still in touch with said it’s a great hire; he’s a good coach and even better person. Time will tell, but I think we got lucky with the hire. It seems like a good fit on both fronts.

The America East ROY is in the portal. Jonathan Beagle, a 6'9" forward from Albany by way of Hudson Falls, NY. Probably will go higher than the PL but who knows? Averaged 12 ppg and 7 rpg. Was 12th ranked player in New England in 2022 according to NERR.

I assume the next day or two will be spent re-recruiting the 11 kids on the team. I say 11 because I'm including Montgomery in the mix. He's in the portal, but Coach Paulson should have the choice of allowing him to stay (assuming he wants to) It might make a nice statement if Montgomery did decide to return to the team What about Lewis and Wilbar? I assume they are still at HC.

Surprised that several prominent posters have yet to weigh in ….., One privately skirted around his Lenten vow in a DM. I will let him speak for himself, as my republishing what he said might, in a Talmudic interpretation, be considered as breaking the vow. After speaking to a rabbi, I have concluded that the Talmud antedates emoji, so here goes: Their resolve is admirable.

Paulsen seems to be the kind of person who could sit down with Bo and his family and point out the many benefits of completing what he is close to, at HC. It just seems to be such a waste to be 3/4 of the way there and walk away and I say that as someone who is ambivalent about him returning on the basketball front.
