Big time D1 basketball isn’t for the faint of heart. Tough deal when the coach calls you in & says he’s making a change in your department... and you’re the only one in your department

NCAA announces spring athletes will get an extra year of eligibility, but not winter athletes from this past season (basketball).

The next Larry Bird 😆

Kirk Herbstreit says he’d be “shocked” if there were football (either NFL or college) this fall. I don’t know how to post links to articles, but anyone interested in reading this can just google it. I gotta say, the idea of sitting in close proximity to others in Johnny U stadium this fall is a non-starter for me, at least at this point. Hate to even think this thought, but is the more relevant question “will we have basketball this fall/winter?”

He’s from Philly, so if he wants to go home, Drexel would be a logical choice. Coppin was one of the schools that offered him out of HS, so it makes sense they’d be in on him too He shot 37% overall; 34% from 3; 70% ft; 3.3apg & 6.4ppg

No fans might be an option, though I wonder what the economic impact of that would be. Not on schools like us, but on the big boys, who get 30, 40 or 50K+ fans a game. Would it make sense for them to play? Even if no fans is an option, it would still have to be deemed medically safe for the players to have such close contact with one another. In any event, this is all speculative, as we’re only in late March. I guess we have to see where we are about 60 days from now

Welcome back. I think 2020 football is a definite maybe. At the risk of stating the obvious, it will depend on where things stand with the spread of the virus. I’m not an infectious disease expert, unlike many on the internet. But, there is a school of thought that this thing could become seasonal and return in the fall (assuming it’s under some semblance of control before the fall). If I had to guess, and it’s strictly a guess, I’d say less than a 50% chance of football this fall. Needless to say, I hope the season goes forward.

Mustafa Lawrence-latest transfer we’re following & who’s following back. 6’1 G out of Fresno State. Actually, his next school will be his 4th; started at Missouri State, then JUCO, then Fresno. This past season he avg 20 mpg; only shot 37% overall; 30% from 3; 72% ft; 3apg & 6.4 ppg.

His numbers this past season were pretty pedestrian. He did shoot 56% from the field, but only took 24 3’s, hitting 9. Only shot 65.8% from the foul line. Avg 4.7 rpg, 4 apg & only 8.6 ppg 🤷‍♂️

I’m not too old-you kids get off my lawn, before I call your parents!!!! 1 open ship. Fobbs, Howard, Sanders & Tunstall depart; Barnes, Jones & Biekeu arrive

Come home, Randy

Some of these kids have twitter pages that make no sense to anyone but themselves (can’t figure their name or who they play for). You would think, if they’re hunting a ship, they’d want people to know pesky little details like, oh I don’t know, their name and what school they play for

FWIW, Coach O’Connell is following him, & he’s following back

Per verbalcommits.com, we’ve offered Jaylen Holmes, 6’6 JUCO from Lincoln Trails CC. He’s from Indiana & also been offered by Portland, Eastern Illinois, Chicago State & Detroit. Odd stat line: shot 66% from the field (obviously very high) but only shot 66.7 from the foul line. Add to this that he shot 53.3% from 3 (extraordinarily high-maybe he didn’t shoot that many?) Avg 5.5 rpg & 4.4 apg. Avg 17.5 ppg. Maybe these statistical anomalies are because for some reason he may have only played in 8 games this past season 🤷‍♂️

Maybe we can get that Drayton guy 😆
