This year's freshman class, even more than this year's juniors (the hapless Thomas and oft-times hapless McNeill), looks like the lost recruiting generation. The guys who've been here for four years and qualified as contributors showed their potential as freshman (JD, Parker-Rivera, MM and EK, to name a few of the top of my head). What's mystifying to me is that many other CAA teams have attracted Eastern European players, who seem to be fundamentally sound and often are good shooters (prime example: No. 4 on NE). Are we unable to do the same or do we just not try?

Gavrilovic didn't work out though he wasnFrench. We've had players from outside the U.S., just no Eastern Euros. I don't know why they don't recruit them. Honestly, not a lot of those guys defend. Some do but I think it works out pretty well for Northeastern with Pusica from Belgrade and San Diego U. Not super athletic, but big, strong and very smart. Great feel for the game and tremendous shooter.
