    Another transfer from Auburn this time. I like 6-5 guards. Not sure of his eligibility but I'd assume he'd be sitting out this year.

    LaSalle becoming Transfer U. how many scholarships do they get?

    how did it feel seeing Gary Neal in the NBA Finals? If he was a Hawk guy would not have been too proud of that.

    Nova officially becomes a mid-major on July 1st. Welcome to our side Juggler :D

    Don't get me wrong, I didn't think Neal would be that successful in the NBA, but you could tell he had the shooting range and size to have a chance. I didn't bother me, good for him. He had to go through a lot to get to where he is now. The charges were drop against him and LaSalle's hands were tied because the coaches knew something may have happened and didn't report it. Those were some dark days at LaSalle.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    let me remind you that mid-major is defined as not having BCS Football teams in said conference so....yup mid-major it is.

    love gus Johnson but currently doing soccer...even gus Johnson doesn't make soccer exciting.

    the term mid major was coined decades before the bcs started. it referred to any conference outside of the top 6 conferences, which included the big east who did not have a major football conference until the early nineties. ackerman will do everything she can to keep this conference at the big boy's table even without football. screw the bcs anyway. :mrgreen:

    whatever you want to call it, it's better than the left over american athletic conference. going back to the big east's basketball centric routes. i like it.

    marathon of games on the new fox sports channel on new years eve to start things off with nova at buter as the marquee game at 7:30. hope it becomes a new tradition. cant wait.

    Vs. AAC , as of now before some of those leave, it's very close at the top with Louisville, Uconn, Memphis and Temple. the mid and lower level of the AAC sucks though.

    Nova is a huge key to the long term success of this league. the league needs a consistent top 10-15 program. Georgetown just can't seem to have ncca tourny success. I think Xavier is going to be great in this league long term. Nova-Xavier should end up being a pretty good rivalry (one reason being is the X fans are as obnoxious as nova fans).

    did not see that about New Year's Eve. that should be cool.

    gtown was in the final four 5 or 6 years ago but, yeah, haven't made it past the first weekend since. still always a top 20-25 team though. they will be good next year even with losing otto. lot of young talent on that team.

    it's not like they were awful before stevens got there. quite the contrary:

    definitely hurts the new conference a bit because he was a big name and a great coach. but they've had quality coaches and a quality program before he got there and they still have a talented roster.

    i can't wait for college b ball to start up again.

    If all the players decide to stay. They are free to transfer now, aren't they?

    ^^^^^^Not sure, but i still think the players have to ask for a release & the School has to sign off on it before they can transfer.^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Sorry, but i don't.

    I think the camp at Philly U. is next week. Maybe he'll be ther? I have a scouting friend of mine who will be ther. I may go over one day, but not sure i can make it. If not, i could ask my friend about him(though he probably already knows about him).

    damn dude. i thought you knew about all these local kids. :lol:

    no idea if he will be there. if your friend goes or if you hear anything, a little report would be appreciated. no big deal. looks like a pretty nice recruit for the cats though. can't wait to see him in a couple years.

    Yea man, i've been slacking> :lol: >I wasn't able to get out like i wanted to this past winter. I usually don't get out much in the Summer(better things to do then sit in a Gym all day/night). I may go out 2-3 events in the Summer.

    If i go to Philly U. this week, and Bridges is ther i'll tell you what i think about him. If not, i'll ask my friend.
