He was an assistant coach at Loyola (Md.) from 2013-17 after spending the 2012-13 campaign at Rutgers as its Director of Operations. Before that, he was a four-year assistant at Lafayette (2008-12). And an assistant at Williams 05-07 Very good hire by Loyola. He's a very good fit for the PL. DP hired Loeffler as his asst at Williams. He is a great guy and recruited a few of my AAU players- he and Coach were at many games

Dollars yes, substantial dollars across the board are the future
Not from groups like 1843 but from community, regional, and national business investments not directly attached to anything but their commercial interests

Best option is can I make the roster Giants management just might be lacking and if not a draft pick in the fifth round find your best home
Feel free to disagree

You think any NC State fan cares right now? No way. You are 100% right. They have the best team $ can buy (to get to the final four, at least). I, for one, have a big problem with this. Perhaps some believe that They put together an interesting group that built a chemistry and culture- very little to do with dollars but strategic work of recruiting by the staff

He has better options as UDFA than the lowly NYG

Perhaps a few sports need an Nil since we don't have the scholarships necessary to compete and the CAF is proving not to be enough to significantly transform those programs

Fair enough, but I could make a strong case for Kenney and four freshmen experiencing a majority of the minutes and feel good about the future.

The women’s selection process is easier
The men might see three plus freshmen getting 65plus% of the minutes

I would think in terms of Kenney and four others
Competition will be fierce

AS I have written the loss of Gerrale Gates was the major factor in preventing this year’s team to be more successful than last The freshmen helped and Kenney improvers but not enough To watch the team proved that DP was a far more competent coach than Nelson With the new recruits I am optimistic that we will see significant improvement in the next few years This year without Gates and the lack of a PG the team improved. While Kenney made significant progress this winter, he will need to do more next year. With Williams and Singleton gaining experience and Boston's pass first mindset, our PG position will be more talented and deeper than it has been in years. Competition for minutes next year should be most interesting, as the freshmen push for starting roles. I would think that unless a player can shoot, score, and defend his playing time will be impacted.

I wonder if we turned the clock back and asked students, alums, fans, and the community from that era what they thought of the decision at that time would it be a different response from what we read or hear today?
Just guessing but at that time I think about 90% were disappointed, upset, and confused by the decision. Many continue to hold those feelings today.
A few years later, with the narrative presented by the good Father and his BOT, and HC athletics with nowhere to go, we found a path to the Colonial/Patriot League. The faculty, many in the Administration, and a percentage of the alumni found a degree of comfort around the mission statement and the narrative, and a place for all sports to have a home. Others waved the white flag and accepted the next forty years of our athletic mediocrity, while the third group remained firm in its opposition.
While we will never know what might have been, I think the 90% of those opposed in 1980 probably has been reduced to 70% today, but the emotions on both sides remain. When you include those who know nothing different than the PL the number likely drops to 35-40%, if they care at all.
With all of the realignment, will another opportunity for our student-athletes be offered? Time will tell, but even if offered I doubt the school will select a different path, and it certainly won't tap into its significant treasures to make the right investments and allow a different level of commitment and success.
Rest easy and everybody have a special Holy Week and Blessed Easter.
🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️😇😇

Omg forgive me
Reallocate so one year you give a half and not a full
The point is lets just do something unlike others north, south, east and west of Worcester

The PL may stink, but college basketball as a whole doesn't smell all that great to me these days. Agree the PL is a disaster, my words, and we need a better league for ALL sports At the same time college sports is at an all time low, but just ahead of the NBA and NFL

Yep I think so, with or without purple shades
Over 4 years we have 8 quality pitchers, 4 middle defenders and 4 power hitters
That is a winning combination

Post by efg72 on Mar 25, 2024 17:47:25 GMT -5
Give three full scholarships per year 2 full for pitchers 1/2 for an up the middle defender I/2 for a power hitter
We could be very good, top 25, in three to five years

For more perspective on Clark, check out the Iowa board (especially the last few pages of the game thread and the link below). Lots of Hawkeye fans thought she was a jerk. Her dad thought she was a jerk. Why? Maybe because she can be . . . a jerk. iowa.forums.rivals.com/threads/clark.440201/She plays with an edge and a personality Much like other great players like Pistol Pete

Spend the money to make it better- it doesn't take much more of an investment to jump a level or two
The school counts on us to fund this and that responsibility should be owned by the Administration and the Board
They are failing the student athletes of our school, while our competition does the opposite
