Re: MBB Recruits 2020

I will be pleasantly surprised if we get Harvey.
In addition to a full court press on his twitter account from UNCW fans, I see that a shooting guard from Southern Miss is transferring out as of today...mere coincidence?
Let's see

Re: MBB Recruits 2020

Can't blame Belton for choosing Southern Miss. He will come in with no competition at the 5 position. Not the case with us. If it's between Southern Miss and us for HARVEY[, both have a slew of returning guards but we have more Seniors. (2 versus 0) As for the other 2 CAA teams, JMU and UNCW, both a...

Re: MBB Recruits 2020

Harvey took an unofficial visit to HU last fall. Belton and Harvey (both from Moravian) both have offers from us and Southern Miss. Maybe they are good buds. As currently configured Belton is Southern Miss' only recruited 5. They like us have plenty of guards. Southern Miss was 9-22 this past season...

Re: Live Q&A for Fans with Coach Mihalich - 4/2/20, 6 pm ET

This is morphing into another thread. Whose number should be retired? When do you retire a number? It was amazing to retire Charles Jenkins number on his senior day. That may never happen again. Remember Hofstra has an Athletics hall of Fame. I think the bar for retiring your number is a bit higher ...

Re: OT another trivia question

I won't give the answer because I looked it up. However both Admiral Byrd and the co-pilot had the same birthday 2 years apart. (October 25th)
They share this Birthday with Pablo Picasso, Katie Perry, Bobby Knight, Auremas Kieza, keith Urban and me. Not sure this helps anybody get the answer though.

Re: MBB Recruits 2020

Most grad transfers are not choosing a place where they will sit on the bench. Would bench help be better than Schutte? Schutte can still improve. A guy like Belton could spell Kante for some minutes as a frosh. Maybe this would allow some more aggressiveness from the 5 position with a bit less conc...

Re: Looking Ahead to 2020-2021 season

I am excited to see the next edition of HU basketball in action. As discussed the pg position will be the key to the whole season. Buie made everybody better last season. He got the ball to Jalen, Tareq and Isaac where they want it. On their own, none of these guys appear to create their own shot so...

Re: MBB Recruits 2020

Hi Polito I don't believe they see him as a point guard. He is more of a combo guard who can drive and dish and find open men. My source who has a good track record tells me they are still looking for a point guard. A couple of roster players have not worked out and may not return. Figure that Tareq...

Re: MBB Recruits 2020

My guess and it's only a guess is he hasn't been in the US too long. The NBA scouts know what is happening in Europe but the colleges rely on hearsay and video I think. Also after so many years coaching, JM knows so many people, particularly from upstate NY (and Philly) from his Niagara days. He may...

Re: MBB Recruits 2020

Like a lot of us I have a little more time than usual. I looked at video of Vukasan Masic. This guy can play! Sees the court well, can shoot the three and takes it to the hoop. I am impressed. You can see some video on his tweet column on verbal commits that was posted on March 23rd. Put me down as ...

Re: Best basketball team in Hofstra history?

The shaft that the 2006 team got was terrible. For those of you who are too young, the CAA semifinal playoff game with George Mason was over and the Mason guard Tony Skinn punches Player of the Year Loren Stokes in the groin with maybe 6 seconds left In the game and really hurts him. Hofstra loses t...

Re: 2020 CAA Men's Basketball Tournament

As for my "rich get richer" as far as the CAA goes, only HU would profit...the year was over for all other CAA teams. Other leagues that crowned a champ before the cancellation would also qualify as rich...defending conference champs. Extending some extra year to players still involved pos...

Re: 2020 CAA Men's Basketball Tournament

I think we are all making a lot of assumptions here; 1)That the NCAA would make exceptions for the teams that excelled the most (and lost a chance to play at least one game in the big dance) This would involve giving top teams extra scholarships for the following year...the rich get richer. (Would H...

Re: MBB Recruits 2020

I think the boss probably knows a guard when he sees one. A couple of years ago he recruited a Philly guy. White kid with some video for us to see. Some of our fan feedback knocked the kid and maybe suggested he was walk on stuff. He now mans the point for Villanova. Maybe he sees Masic as a diamond...

Re: MBB Recruits 2020

So my reliable source told me we are still looking for a point guard.
Also that JM was the guy recruiting Masic. That's all I know.
