And that doesn't take into account the D2/D3/Juco players who move up (and dominant, as long as they play between Meeting & King Streets 😂). If there are ever some looking for a partner when the music stops, there's always PFO at TU! Obviously 1,700 aren't all scholarships, but 13 scholarships x 351 teams is 4,563. So we are looking at ~ 40% in the portal. College sports has quickly become s*it!!

Amari Williams to Kentucky. Wow, I know I’m one that’s never been impressed by him And believe he was vastly overrated but Kentucky?! He had trouble with Charles freaking Thompson!

Good to hear. Would be nice to have a semi competitive baseball program. I do find it interesting to that we are “so far behind” our league peers. And would like to know if that’s because they are most private schools? Or that’s they don’t play football?

Uncw adds another good player. 10-7 a game BIG from Niagara. The rest of the CAA is playing for 3rd behind the hawks and cougars

Don’t you mean, allez avec Dieu? 😂 But in all seriousness, him and Charles are subbed out for the incoming two freshmen so scholarships are all used. There are 2-3 non d1 players on this team and another total question mark. Not great. On the bright side maybe the staff, instead of worrying about finding replacement players in the portal, is working non stop on developing an offensive game plan. Who am I kidding… they aren’t.

Well Nolan hasn’t met our gleeful mediocre accepting fanbase and AD!

Small ball or stall ball?! As long as they can hedge, rebound and not run any offense in close games, they have a spot! Well not actually, since everyone is returning…

That D2 team beat us in hoops…. Not sure why they are in the league, look at their records in football basketball lacrosse women’s hoops volleyball and women’s soccer the first two seasons. Rough is an understatement.

Yeah because they are on a student visa they aren’t eligible or something. Speaking of Mack just landed a big foreign kid from Xavier. Again, if we have no NIL money, go to overseas players. Agree with you. Hate the new ncaa and rules. But did anyone think that this wouldn’t happen 5 years ago or so when it was put on the table. Removing of the one time free transfer rule (minus coach leaving) and making NIL income not available during the sit out year (because hey they aren’t playing) would curb some of this

Those other schools aren’t rolling in it either. So that’s moot. Besides the tier one university listed, what do the others have in Common?

Rich get richer. https://x.com/portal_updates/status/1779173530640302482?s=46&t=Ngq04lxeei-KO1HZI6wvxg

Cranky on the left coast haha.

Don’t hate it. Don’t love it. But “it’s fluid”. Announcing this and then not following through would look bad. Just strange. Everyone better make HUGE jumps in the off-season. This was the season where it was wide open

Don’t disagree just stating some facts

You’re assuming it’s his choice. Could be the player. He’ll be 25 before CAA play begins and has his degree

Thanks for taking my place.🤣 You're going to get crushed here, lol. I can see it now, that one guy 2024 "Diz da Probz with U fake bluffin fanz! Entire cRew Returns for 1 last RiDe (or Die) and U guyz are upset! Wat do you want?? To win more den 18 games!?" Since we are using names, yes, Coleman, Paar and Hicks are questionable returnees. Watson thing is concerning, though coming off ACL surgery, the athleticism won't be the same, but still likely better than anything we have. Obviously with the bigger names not even entering portal (with potential to come back), is something. Glass half full for some, Glass half empty for others. Me? It's just more of the same, enjoy the 18-13 record and epic choke in the CAAT.

I get it, but I also don't get it. My feelings on Pat as a coach put aside, it is nice to see the loyalty these student athletes have to him and the university. Refreshing in this day and age, and maybe we can stop hearing some folks on here bitch and complain about NIL. But there were at least 3 players who are marginal (being nice) contributors, that have been here for 3 years... Whether it be ability, or availability, they are what they are, and that's 9-12 on the bench... With or without Watson, and assuming you are correct, and he leaves, this team is still missing pieces. If this team was very good last year and lost on a fluke, running it back is great. This is questionable at best, while they did win like 19 games, there were some major holes that could have been filled in the portal.

But it won’t stop us from trying for the 14th straight year !

ARETE!!!!

Just think, Cam Spencer was UCONN's second choice, after being spurned by Timberlake (HAHA). Things have a way of working out (or you get lucky). Spencer was an X factor all season and was a big piece in this title run. Nick would not have been able to replicate anything similar what Spencer did at UCONN.

Will be on his third school in three years. 🚩

Hearing Skerry to BBN is being talked about...🤣

As many bad results come from the team, gotta give them props when they win. Took 2 out of 3 against Hofstra last weekend and then won one against preseason favorite NE this weekend. "OK, we won a game yesterday. If we win today, it's called "two in a row". And if we win again tomorrow, it's called a "winning streak"... It has happened before!"

Well damn. Second best returning player in the league.

Not a personal attack. You are more towards the middle, but saying people aren’t happy with a winning season or 20 wins, is just false. Not saying it was you. I’m not digging that far back but two years ago there were a few posters that would rather 27-5 and a first round exit than 15-19, a CAAT championship and a trip to the tournament I too hope that we get to the point where we talk about dancing rather than 18 and 19^ (no asterisks here only carrots!) wins
