1) He's may be from Puerto Rico but he played HS ball in NY 2) His uncle was on the Kentucky staff when they had that crazy long run of success a few years back. He didnt just get hired to get his nephew there, he's a good recruiter, period.

Jordan Dangerfield wasn't a terrible pickup.

I do find it hilarious that when we land a good recruit/transfer its lucky but when the recruits/transfers arent good, its all the coaches fault. How many NFL players did we have before Ambrose was the HC? 2???

Funny you say this. I was at Alvernia for a game last week and started laughing when I saw a picture of a former Tiger, Marquis Marshall. He won MAC player of the year and avg 22 and 9 as a Sr.

I am generally a Pat Skerry defender but all of the points you have all made, even you 2012, are totally fair. I am also growing tired and want to see improvement. But let's be honest, this isn't rock bottom. Go look at the Mike Hunt era, that was rock bottom (3 years- 23-63 total, 12-42 CAA, 1-3 CAAT). We have had 5 winning seasons under PS. Before he got here our last was the '95-96 season. Anyway, this season was BRUTAL, COVID-19 or not, I am struggling to see guys playing hard for PS and that's my biggest concern. I go back and forth regarding the recruiting...we have had guys come in here and be successful, but nothing to the level of JB since he left. Morsell, Zane, Gorham and Betrand were All-CAA type players. Unfortunately only 1 of them stayed all 4 years. We got a guy like Fobbs who was a JUCO transfer, was really good and could score but he wasn't developed in the program. There is a reason they all aren't staying and it may be Pat. I do think PS does a pretty good job of developing guys from the Freshman-Sophomore year. You see the improvement in their bodies and in their skill set. CT is a great example of that. But for some reason they don't take that next step to being a "stud". Is that because they aren't good enough to be? Or are they not being coached to be? A combination of both? Not sure, but once again not good enough. While I still am a believer in PS and this program, I am definitley losing faith. I remember thinking from 2002-2006 when I was an undergrad...."just be relevant, over .500, this 4-24 shit stinks". Now that we are there, it's not good enough. If things don't get significantly better (roster not showing it) in the 2021-2022 season, I will be fully on board with you all. I do really appreciate PS getting us back to a place where we are competitive in most conference games, we have a chance to win 18+ games a season and we are getting better talent. At the same time I am in agreement that it's not good enough anymore, we need to get consistently to the NEXT step; going to the CAA finals, making the NCAA tournament and winning the CAA regular season. I'd love it if PS was the one to do it but I am losing faith.

I have been testing multiple times a week per NCAA regulations to officiate D2/D3 games. I am fortunate that I work from home for my real job but if you are a player or member of the team and the season was something you valued I would think you would take additional percautions to prevent a positive test. Obviously we don't know who it is (player/personnel) but the value of the season doesnt seem to be a priority for the program as a whole this year.

Mat, you didn’t mention anything about Holland? Any idea regarding his status?

Over looks good!!!

All DI officials are graded on every call they make in every game they officiate. I didnt see the play but it is a point of emphasis to focus on the offensive player kicking his foot out. In fact, JD Collins (NCAA Coordinator) released a video for all of us to watch regarding jump shooters and fouls. I didnt see the play so I dont know but i may hop into synergy and take a look.

We know how you feel. You don't need to reply EVERY time.

Look, I get the numbers that people don't like about Skerry. But he is a total class act. What he said about the Hofstra coach along with Coach Richardson is awesome and that is someone that I want representing our University.

If the offensive team is getting the ball in their front court the shot clock is at 20.

Chatting today?

You'd have to think he asked Shane about his experience at Towson.

The NCAA will have to shut down if they don't get the $1 billion from the Men's Basketball Tournament. They HAVE to make this season work regardless of its choppyness. It has been hard to watch and get a flow but that is not the concern.

So sad, she was such a great woman. Always so kind and went out of her way to be friendly.

There will be no problem finding officials. With the schedules cut down all the DI guys are begging to get as many games in as they can. I found out last week the DIII leagues in the northeast are 80/20 no season. I imagine that DII will follow the smae direction.

While I would much rather have football, doesn't the University save a boat load of money by not having a 2020 (or 2021 spring) season? It's not like the football team brings in all this revenue where its paying for other sports. From everything I understand the program operates in the red as it is. No travel, no gameday operations, promotions, etc. would save the athletic department.

It could be because TL, RA or PS didn't comment to the writer in the article. I'd be interested to see the analysis done on the $ that each program budget has, how much of that is pumped into building the fanbase and the ROI on that fanbase. I don't know the exact rankings but I think we pay our HC's more in the mid/upper tier of the league so we are we lacking if our budget is so much lower.

I was on a NCAAA call last week and that is the date they are targeting, seems like a lot of protocols are still TBD.

He doesn't need a waiver right? Didn't he graduate from NM? If he had to sit a hear he'd be done, you only get 5 for 4.

Is it acceptable if they cut them down in April? Or will that not count? Asking for a friend.

I'm a DII and DIII college hoops official and we are already getting push back to not have a season before 2021. Granted, its DII/DIII but I think BK is spot on saying that this isn't going to happen at the NCAA level.

Interesting coment from Skerry regarding the waivers for the two transfers...
