^^^OK, thanks.^^^

Caught the end of the 2nd-Half of the St. Joe-Drexel game. Bishop didn't score a point in 25 minutes?  He was inconsistent in HS when I saw him play.

Does SJ have a True point guard?

Greg Foster Jr, but he was out with a concussion. He’s really good too. Transfer from Gonzaga. Down 3 of our top 8 at least through Christmas. Only Hawks could have two week pause for COVID and come back for just a few days and lose two more guys to injuries. Got either the Eagles luck or their doctors.  Cam Brown and Myles Douglas also out with Foster. 

Jay Wright tests positive for COVID-19

One of the few stud players in the area I haven't seen play. Friends who've seen him play like him.

The rich get richer

Like I said, one of my friends said he's really good and he has a reason to know.

I see Nova in the running for 2 Point Guards for the '21 Class. BOTH are very good and Local (Philly & Reading)

I'd like to see them get the shooting guard (Trevor keels) from Paul VI (VA.)

Diggins from Wood makes his decision on Sunday. Seems like nova likes a few others Over him but who knows.  Stevie Mitchell to Temple?

Thanks, as I didn't know Diggins was giving his Verbal on Sunday. Not sure but I think Nova offered later than Florida but that doesn't always mean anything. Maybe Gillespie is in his ear>HA. We shall see tomorrow.

I've only seen Stevie Mitchell play a couple of times but I think that would be a great Get for Temple. Nova may like him more than Diggins? 

The word I'm getting from my friend is, he thinks Diggins will Verbal to UCONN. He was right on Longino.

We shall see .

Yea Hawks message board seems to think Diggins is a UConn lock.   Mitchell's parents both went to Temple and his mom played ball when McKie was there so there are some ties there.  

Wish he stayed Local:

I saw him play a few times last year. He has all the potential to be an NBA player.  If not, he'll make money Overseas. 

Patterson to Join Wildcats For Second Semester

Rutgers Prep standout will be on board on Jan. 25

VILLANOVA, Pa. – Trey Patterson, who signed a national letter of intent to attend Villanova in November, will enroll for the 2021 spring semester at the University after recently graduating from Rutgers (N.J.) Prep. Villanova's spring semester begins on Jan. 25 and Patterson will officially be added to the 2020-21 roster at that time.
 
Patterson, 6-7, is currently listed at No. 33 in the ESPN Top 100 for the Class of 2021. The forward averaged 19.7 points per game while helping his team post a 27-2 record in 2019-20. His parents, Antoine and Shamona Patterson, played college basketball at St. Francis (Pa.) and Seton Hall, respectively.
 
"We're really excited that Trey has decided to join us for the spring semester," stated Villanova head coach Jay Wright. "He's an outstanding student who made graduating early a priority so that he could be with us.
 
"Trey's a talented player and bringing him onboard will help our team immediately. This will also serve as a great springboard for him into next season."
 
The Wildcats, ranked No. 3 in the Associated Press Top 25, returned to practice from a COVID-19 pause on Thursday. They are aiming to resume their 2020-21 schedule Tuesday night at Finneran Pavilion against Seton Hall.

I remember when folks thought Nova was doomed when the Big East split up back in the day. Lol.....

The rich get richer yet again...

in hindsight the breakup of the Big East was the best thing that ever happened to Nova.  Instead of being the 5th best program in the league they became king of the hill and the programs that left have become almost irrelevant.  They've become the number 1 destination for Philly/NJ area guys now.  And have a nice place in the MD/DC/VA recruiting area as well.  Leaving the Big East has killed recruiting for teams like Syracuse and Pitt in this area. It's still a bit sad to see what has become of the likes of those teams that have left the Big East.  UConn has at least taken steps back to prominence with getting back in the Big East with Hurley as coach.

Legend.

Man on man...I realize they went up against the Fab Five (twice?) but it's hard to believe those early 90's Temple teams didn't make at least one final four. They had 4 NBA players on all those teams!

RIP Coach Chaney.  One of the best of all time. Wasn't always a fan of his personality and did not like how it ended but the man an amazing coach.

Visited temple on a soccer recruiting trip back in the day. Got to watch a bit of a basketball practice. Was cool to see him in action
