Tyler Thomas from Sacred Heart. Powerful combo guard at 6-3, 195 https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4593126/tyler-thomas

I know. My point was you aren't getting a player of that caliber at a school like Louisville. A guy with pedestrian stats from Louisville, who is from Baltimore, might come here. But the more I look, not sure he's a good fit with a team that likes to move the ball and is trying to be unselfish. Or you can say the opposite that we need a guy who can create his own shot late in games. Maybe he's an alpha.

I'm intrigued by those big wings the size of Maximus Edwards of Kansas State (I know he hasn't played yet), a combo guard like Suggs or Horton who can play some point and a long forward who is 6-7ish. So if Rizzuto is gone along with Nolan, Curtis Holland and Gray (extra ship). Also, not sure where Gill fits in. If he returns, we have two ships left. Max is 13 this season. Last year, was 14+ if you had a grad student who was on your team in 2020-21, hence Gray. PG Gibson, Hicks, Gill SG Williamson SF Timberlake, May PF Holden, Tyler Coleman C Thompson, Paar, Biekeu

Well, there's zero chance we will get a player from Louisville who averaged 17ppg and shot 40% from three-point range. He had some better games against weaker competition. But seems like he loves to jack shots and is not very efficient. Guessing he still goes high major, but one that is less relevant. Or maybe a Xavier or DePaul. The major connection is where he's from. Not really a point guard so I think we want a bigger guard who can do more than just score.

Maximus Edwards, 6-5, 220, Kansas State (Towson offer out of HS) Redshirted last season due to injury and has four years left https://verbalcommits.com/players/maximus-edwards

I know it's a longshot but he's from Baltimore and went to McDonough Noah Locke, 6-3, 195, Louisville (grad student) https://verbalcommits.com/players/noah-locke https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4395713/noah-locke

Hoping for late next week for at least one.

https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4700941/jamel-horton Horton sounds like what we need. A little like Nolan with good size and passing ability (3.9apg). And 36% from 3pt, but tough competition for him. AEC Defender of the Year but just one season left. https://www.news10.com/sports/local-sports/ualbanys-jamel-horton-enters-transfer-portal/

Up 1-0 early on as Avanzato scores from Hund on a break. Two bad turnovers later from Shilling and Stewart. At least Constaintinides has won both face-offs. Brennan back in goal and Koby back on D>

Amazing. Just 39 shots on 29 face-off wins. Drexel had 16 turnovers so that didn't hurt.

I don't know about the cliche' about taking an ugly win over a pretty loss, but we'll take any CAA win at this point. Have to play better (23 turnovers) on offense and D middies still struggling. Berkeley now hasn't scored a goal in four games and he's pressing. He turned it over three times and Bender had four. Again, they are trying to force it in the crease when it's not there. I did like when they played DeMaio at the X (behind the goal) to give the defense a different look. Shane Brennan wins it with a broken thumb and despite a slow start, comes up big. Constantinides was huge with 21 of 29 face-off wins.

Not sure what they were doing other than holding the ball. Should have launched the ball downfield but McNamar lost the ball and panicked. In that situation, get the ball to Koby and let him clear it himself or Hund.

Towson holds on whew. 13-12 win. 1-0 in the CAA.

Brennan stops the shot but Towson can't clear the ball. Violation with 20.7 seconds left and Voelker calls a timeout.

Drexel gets the huge face-off win. Potter had a chance to get the ground ball. Drexel picks it up and calls TO with 2:02 left.

Alex Reid big-time clutch shot to just take his man off the timeout. Now 13-12.

Finally a timeout for Nads with 2:40 left. Tie game.

Bender with another turnover but Brennan bails him out with a great save.

Despite 21 turnovers, Towson ties it up as Shilling knocks it in at the crease to tie at 12-12 with 3:40 left.

Down 12-11 and once again, the second midfield unit turns it over as Bender throws a low pass away.

After Shilling misses a wide open goal, Swain finds a tough angle and ties the game up at 11-11 with 6:43 left.
