    well that was hugely disappointing.

    what the heck happened to Nova's offense? between Big East tourney and NCAAs seems to have went south. Didn't see the UConn game but they were pretty awful in the opening round. if they would have played any good mid-major they probably would have lost that one. All they lose is Bell though I think so should still be tops in the Big East next year.

    Hawks - played well against UConn just couldn't close. freaking up 3 with 40 seconds and guy throws in an overhanded rebounded and bangs a foul shot even though only 58% for the season. Galloway panicked at end after losing the ball. if his shot hits the rim it's probably bouncing right back to him. would have been a nice game to win especially since next year looks like rebuilding again.

    great tourney so far. some great games.

    i have no idea what happened to nova. they made more 3's than 2's....and didn't shoot 3's all that well. pinkston missed about 50 layups. no idea.

    bell leaves, hart takes his place. jenkins also played well as a freshman. they have a couple solid incoming kids next year. huge missed opportunity though. everything was so wide open this year.


    i'll tell you this though, watching the wichita state/kentucky nearly game took my mind off the loss quicker than i anticipated. that was one of the better college basketball games you will ever see.

    Hart and Jenkins are going to be really good for Nova. I think their upsides are really high. honestly think their upsides are higher than anyone else on the Nova roster at the current time.

    Wichita State and Kentucky was a great game. big shots being made all over the place. Early was unbelievable for Wichita. I know VanVleet was their top 3 point shooter but I would have preferred a shot for Early or Baker at the end.

    always seemed like a good guy when he played at Nova. not sure what happened here but not good if true.

    I heard from my good friend, who scouts HS Hoops, is telling me that it looks like a done deal that Tim Delaney, a JR. From Pitman, NJ, and who has made a verbal commit to 'Nova, will transfer to Blair Academy in Blairstown, N.J.

    He helped Pitman to the Group-1 State Title this past season.

    Why is he transferring? Better competition or something?

    since i saw this thread bumped thought i'd post this article on Delonte West. Great (but long) read.

    http://www.slate.com/articles/sports/sports_nut/2014/06/delonte_west_he_was_branded_as_crazy_and_became_the_subject_of_a_vicious.html

    word is Delonte is getting a tryout with the Clippers and will play on their summer league team.

    The rumor is that he played on some team that went to Germany, i think last summer, and one of the coaches(not sure if it was the head-coach) is from Blair Academy.

    Delaney's parent, or parents(thier split), was paying tuition for him to go to Pitman. Not sure how they settled on Pitman, as far as it being a GREAT HS program and being such a small school that doesn't play TOP competition. He's suppose to be a great student & Blair is a great academic school and they do play pretty good competition, so who knows.

    Man, Temple may have just lost out on a BIG TIME recruit. My friend(the HS scout) has been telling me for weeks that this kid was leaning to Temple, but who knows now. Maybe you remember this guy?

    yea saw this. what a kick in the pants to Dunph. Not only was Brunson supposedly coming with his dad but he was going to bring Levan Alston's son who is at Haverford School i believe and is a top 100 recruit as well.

    so apparently Jalen Brunson is announcing on wednesday between Nova and Illinois and looks like Nova is going to be it. This has to be devastating to Temple fans.

    Yeah, if he does go to Nova.

    My friend, who has some scouting buddies in Illinois, have been reporting all along that he's going to Illinois. For some reason Brunson didn't take all of his visits, and Nova was one he didn't visit and that's another reason why the guess is Illinois. Hope he goes to Nova. I saw him last year score OVER 50 pt.s in the State Final.

    he visited Nova last weekend. he cancelled Temple's which was supposed to be this weekend. Apparently the family wants to move back from the area...i'm guessing when your dad sexually assaults someone moving out of the area is probably a good idea.

    this might be jay's biggest recruit ever. i can't believe this...was sure he would opt for illinois just like all these other top recruits who say nova is in their final few schools. fucking huge for nova as well as the big east.

    he's the real deal cutz?

    Yeah, he is the real deal. Plus, if you go by the rankings, he is a LOCK to be a McDonalds All American. GREAT get for Nova, and like you said, The Big East too.

    That State Final game i saw last year he was so good it was RIDICULOUS.

    Jason Frazier was a top 3 , if not #1 recruit in the country.

    as much as I dislike Nova I can't imagine anyone choosing to play for John Groce over Jay Wright.

    Dunph must be banging his head against the wall repeatedly about this one.

    yeah, good point. i just mean in terms of where the new conference is at right now, this might be considered on that same level.

    yea big for the league but the Big East needs another team to step up to compete with Nova year in and year out. Nova looks like they could end up dominating this league over the next 4 or 5 years.
