The NCAA officially voted to give the 5 power conferences more autonomy. It should be interesting to see how this decision ultimately affects the smaller and mid-major conferences. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/08/sports/ncaafootball/ncaa-votes-to-give-greater-autonomy-to-richest-conferences.html?r...

Larissa announced her staff today. http://www.gohofstra.com/ViewArticle.db ... =209601765 It would be pretty cool if Bucky Dent comes and watches some HUSB games!

Congrats to Hofstra Radio (WRHU) for being ranked the number 1 college radio station in the nation! http://news.hofstra.edu/2014/08/04/wrhu ... ation-u-s/

Ibrahim Djambo has to sit out this year, but will have one year of eligibility in 2015-16. Gustys and Walker will have to be thrown into the mix right away, but I think we should be ok. Coach Mihalich said that Gustys is physically ready right now, and Walker is a lot better off than we think. Plus ...

How many scholarshipped players are women's teams allowed to have? As of today, there are 14 players listed on the roster, including the three previously announced freshmen and the three new players announced today. With no seniors and barring any transfers, we might not even have room for new fresh...

Only Sydnee Epps and Dee Thomas Palmer left of their recruiting class. Don't forget that Asia Jackson is still on the team. She was the most notable player of the prized recruiting class. She's one of several 4 star players on the roster, including Jakelle King-Gilchrist, Elo Edeferioka, and freshm...

I'm starting a media thread since there have lately been several articles where Hofstra gets a mention, so they're worth seeing, but it's not necessarily worth having a new topic for each one, so I figured this could be a good place to just post any article that mentions a Hofstra sport. Here are tw...

I wonder if Kayla Noonan would be interesting. She stepped down as the head coach at Columbia at the end of the season. Obviously it's not an easy thing to go from being a head coach back to being an assistant, but maybe she'll want to come back to her alma mater.

Valparaiso has hired former softball assistant Kate Stake to be their head coach. Does this mean we are now looking to hire two new assistants?

Here are the players I keep tabs on: Mike Moore: Plays for the Sandringham Sabres in Australia. http://basketball.australiabasket.com/team/Australia/Sandringham_Sabres/3978 David Imes: Plays for Vaqueros de Bayamon in Puerto Rico. http://basketball.latinbasket.com/team/Puerto_Rico/Vaqueros_de_Bayamo...

Is it confirmed that Andreana Thomas is not returning? As far as the incoming freshmen go, I don't know anything about Aleana Leon (from Puerto Rico) Olivia Askin was a 1000 point scorer in high school, and Ashunae Durant was a 2000 point scorer, and is one of the top 100 players in the 2014 class. ...

The USSSA Pride posted a video interview with Olivia today. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10 ... permPage=1

Former Clemson 6-10 forward Ibrahim Djambo is transferring to Hofstra. I'm pretty sure he will have to sit out this year, and will have one year remaining. Will be good since we lose Kone after this year. Alex Kline ‏@TheRecruitScoop Clemson transfer Ibrahim Djambo is transferring to Hofstra, per a ...

Noah Woods from Trinity-Pawling is supposedly continuing his basketball career at Hofstra this year. I'm going to assume he'll be a walk on, since I haven't heard anything about him. Former teammate of Adam Savion.

Hofstra announced a few weeks ago that have have dropped the SAT and ACT requirement for students entering in Fall 2015. What are people's thoughts on this? I've read that some alumni are upset because they think it might devalue their degree. My thoughts as a current student are mixed. The ONLY rea...

Didn't want to put this in the Hofstra Sports section since it's not really related to a team other than the fact that it's an alum/coach.

Speedy announced on twitter last night that he and Meeka have officially separated. https://twitter.com/speeddeamon/status/ ... 3011074048

The Jets are finally returning to Hofstra for a summer camp practice on August 21

We all know that some of the things that Rothstein says have to be taken with a grain of salt, but his tweets from practice a couple weeks ago are still interesting and offer some insight that we might not have otherwise gotten. He seems pretty high on Malik Nichols. Greetings from Hempstead. Here f...

Make that 6 coaches that left, since Rob Anspach left the wrestling program, and not even for another coaching position. There has been a lot of turn over between coaches and players this off season, among many sports. 6 coaches, 3 MBB players (4 if you count the fact that Adam Savion is no longer o...
