I've done AI searches and gotten blatantly inaccurate information on the most basic information. We seem to forget that AI learns what it knows based...

I don't think "recruiting area" applies with transfers, particularly when they follow a coach from one school to another.

I wonder how soon the next lawsuit will take claiming disperate treatment will take to be filed??...

[boatcapt]

It will be interesting to see how we employ FIVE bigs. Do we treat them as nothing more than tall guards or do we take advantage of their size inside?...

[boatcapt]

After a really good freshman season at Coker, Abdullah doesn't seem to have played his sophomore year. Was he injured, beat out of playing time or was...

Looking forward to seeing who the 6'9", additional 6'8" and 6'7" players are. Having five bigs would be a sea change from a Howlett recruited...

[boatcapt]

Five players over 6'7"? I count two (Coan and Muldowney). Who are the other three?...

[boatcapt]

So now we have ONE player who has game experience at WLU.

As I calculate, this is our roster as it stands right now:

Dante Spadafora,...

Wonder what effect the new D1 rule where JUCO time doesn't effect D1 eligibility will have? If a player is looking for a D1 offer, better to transfer...

The Pankey pickup is definitely a good one. While he didn't play for WLU, as I recall he was assessed as a very good recruiting addition when he came...

Interestingly, Shawnee State is currently looking for a basketball head coach after their last coach did a late bold to be an assistant at a D1. Wonder...

[boatcapt]

I would hope that the MEC learned their lesson from the Wheeling situation. Wheeling was invited to join the MEC with the expectation that they would...

Adding Shawnee State is a very good move. Fact they are starting football is very positive for the MEC giving us 10 programs.

MEC seems to...

But the portal is filled with 5-tool, WLU Style players just sitting at home waiting for a call. Seems like Mike could help a few out right? I mean, if...

[boatcapt]

Yup. I would add that pretty much all sports at the DII level are "non revenue producing!"...

[boatcapt]

All true. But "paying customers" (ie non schollys players) effect the schools bottom line no matter weather the school is private or public....

[boatcapt]

That does seem to be a difference between our former coach and Mike. Mike appears to like larger rosters while our former coach typically kept his roster...

In the words of Bill Parcell - "You are what your record says you are." We were a 30 win Elite 8 team that won the MEC regular season title...

Who knew all we needed to do was get rid of Howlett, hire Mike and recruit the players he recruited at Coker! Could have had TWO National Championships...

[boatcapt]

Yep...Better 3 point shooters replacing less good ones...experience in the system...HC of a team that should have won at least 25+ games and been a shoe...
