    Dominick Cheek declares for NBA draft. :lol::lol: i actually thought it was a joke when i 1st saw it. nova could be really awful next year if they don't end up with a good transfer (tony chennault from wake forest or juco) that is eligilbe next year. pretty much pinkston and that's it.

    hawks have everyone back next year. should have made tourny this year with the talent. if they don't make it next year it might be the end for Martelli. fans are not happy and word is a few of the big donors aren't too happy with him.

    temple - wyatt and jefferson back right johnny? with dalton pepper eligible after sitting out. i think they have a few highly rated recruirts. devontae watson i think is a big guy who lost in one of the state finals and a wing player for jersey that i think is supposed to be pretty good - can't remember name at moment.

    lasalle has everyone back except earl pettis next year so they should be a contender in A10. Umass could be favorite.

    A10 talking about possibly Butler, VCU and George Mason to replace Temple and possible the exit of Charlotte and/or Umass for football reasons. If you add those 3 the league should stay strong and expect multiple bids each year.

    Yeah, Wyatt, Jefferson, Pepper. Daniel Dingle is a big recruit coming in.

    Never gonna go deep in a tourney if Fran keeps letting teams go on 15 point runs without calling timeout. :roll: How many times does it have to happen?

    i was so happy to see that about cheek. thought it was a joke at fist too. he's probably thinking about playing overseas. good riddance. with wayns gone, i'd rather be done with him and let the young bucks just take over.

    hopefully they get chennault. apparently there are more transfers than usual this year so hopefully jay can convince a good one to come to the main line.

    Chennault played at NG with Duren of LaSalle. I say we have a reunion even though LaSalle needs a more versatile big man.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    no offense but if jay loses this guy to lasalle, maybe it actually will be time for him to step aside. :lol:

    i can't believe all the nova fans/alumni/students who are ready to move on from jay wright already. boggles my mind.

    Yeah, pretty ridiculous. Some might feel that way with Fran. I'm frustrated with the tourney losses, but can't doubt how he has elevated the program and put it in a great position.

    Chennault's high school coach has pretty much indicated that Lasalle is out because it's too close to home for Chennault. High school coach also said he thought Nova would be perfect for him. I've seen that it's down to Nova or St. Joe's for him but I'd be shocked if he doesn't end up at Nova. He apparantly has a sick grandfather and is going to petition to play next year. if true than nova is a perfect fit for him.

    LaSalle is already getting Tony Garland transferring from Va. Tech. he was a city guy too and a point guard as well i believe. he will sit out next year.

    Johnny - i forgot about Dingle (isn't he dana dingle's who played for Umass' much younger brother? or somehow related?), the guy I was talking about was a North Jersey guy.

    Garland transfered in December so he can play 2nd semester.

    darn early but still pretty sweet. love the Garden and for college hoops it's awesome although I'm guessing Syracuse will have a ton of fans there. Big East tourny without Syracuse wont' be the same that's for sure.

    Yeah, so we need to represent. Actually not sure if I'll be able to make it, but I'd think I could easily recover the value of those tixx if need be.

    It's part of the Gotham Classic, which will be 3 home games on campus (for Owls & the Cuse) and then vs. Syracuse at MSG - Sweet!

    Pretty stupid that Syracuse is leaving the Big East - they are/were perfect for that conference.

    Looks like VCU is going to the shitty A-10. The CAA has been the stronger of those conferences, so I am guessing this is strictly about money. Weak

    the A10 averages 3 NCCA bids a year and has for like the past 10 years. CAA almost never gets any at-large bids...see Drexel this past year. CAA is not a better league even though they have had 2 final four appearacnes in 4 years. Old Dominion also looks to be leaving the CAA for Conference USA to move up in football so the CAA might be on shaky ground. This move really hurts Drexel. Great move for A10 adding Butler and VCU to replace Temple and Charlotte.

    the A-10 perennially sucks in the tourney. it's a shit conference

    CAA usually puts 2-3 teams in the tourney (same as the A-10). difference is the CAA wins games. drexel didn't deserve to get in last year.

    Also, ODU's football program just started like 2 years ago. if they are changing conferences it's definitely not for football
