Re: Media Thread

true, there are not a TON of post guys per say, however, I'll counter that with the fact that HU has NEVER had 2 6'10+ guys on the roster at the same time - and NEVER have they had 2 3* post guys at once plus they have an experienced solid sr in Kone, and who I believe can be an x-factor type guy in...

Re: MBB recruits 2015

kid can flat out score - lefty, extremely athletic, sky is the limit - looking for monster Sr yr I'm REALLY watching Buie, Vaughn, and Traci Carter - important HU lands another high-caliber guard, esp PG - Vuaghn not so sure about his plans, just left NYC to go play down south - not sure what that m...

Re: MBB recruits 2015

YES!!! This is a GREAT get, 3 star player, still fairly underrated/under radar - can and will be coached up, HUGE upside - just now starting to really shine, and should have a big sr yr - former CTK guy, will be the go-to for Construction (was last yr too) - will also play in the Philly vs NYC all-s...

Re: Media Thread

I was in the bookstore yesterday and picked up Athlon's and Sporting News (I think) and one had HU 2 and one had HU 3...both with Green on all-caa 1st team, and newcomer of the yr Looks like these guys have done some research on the new and improved version of HU bball, as well as the openness of th...

Re: MBB recruits 2017

New PG offer per Verbal Commits: 9/26/2014 - 2017 PG Chris Lykes (5-6, 145, 2★) has received an offer from Hofstra. Looks to have offers from ODU and Richmond already, projected as a high-major recruit - wouldn't be surprised to see that 3-4 star ranking next yr for him JM and crew are not backing d...

Re: College Basketball Annuals 2014-15

Yep, I was referring to Towson the following yr - they have a couple of nice recruits and also a transfer (I believe from Wake or something) who could make an impact This yr IMO it's WIDE open and HU should give it everything they've got - and I think that's the plan - if they can accomplish a major...

Re: College Basketball Annuals 2014-15

Ah, love hearing that from JM!! I'm honestly pumped for this season, been a long time since we've been able to get exciting about what the program could do not expecting miracles, but I believe 100% in going all out to win NOW - the conf is completely up for grabs, and HU could certainly take it - j...

Re: MBB recruits 2015

good stuff, talented player, athletic from what I've read - 6'1, so I would also like to see a bigger sized guard, 6'4 range believe HU is 'in it' for about 3-4 SG types - and pretty talented from what I can gather - kind of why I'm thinking that spot may be the first shoe to drop... also following ...

I believe all 3 play on the same team... heard of the 'package deal', but the 'triple play' so to speak would be unique!

Re: MBB recruits 2016

JM and crew are going for some REAL talent - it's tough wood to chop, but it MUST be done, whatever it takes to land the right fit and the right caliber players only takes 1 or 2 superstar-type guys to get things rolling and light a program on fire - put together some exciting attention grabbing sea...

Hosting a yearly Midnight Madness is an extremely important event IMO, especially for a school that is putting heavy emphasis on basketball - and it should be treated as such - glad to see this

Re: Media Thread

agreed, and I think so due to the new talent, the solid staff, and the state of the CAA - it's wide open

I see NU, W&M, CofC, and maybe one other (Drexel?) fighting for the top - but I'm fully expecting HU to be right in that top 3/4 mix
