Townsonkid/CLK -  Thanks for the notification that the Recruiting Class has been posted -  Bernard with three years remaining would increase the Sophomore Class to 6.

One scholarship would remain should the staff choose to use it.
 

Witchita State IS a POSITIVE OPTION

Here are another pair of ideas --

1.  Add University of Detroit -   While the Hoops Team is not as good as Witchita State --  IS in a Non-Football Situation --  Media Market is Bigger --   AND PROBABLY WOULD NOT HURT TO HAVE THAT GOOFBALL DICKIE V RAVING ABOUT OUR CONFERENCE BECAUSE DETROIT IS IN IT!!!  This is of course dependant on Detroit being interested.

2.Stick with 15 --  3 pods of 5 --   You play the other 4 teams in your pod twice -  Home and Away (8 games)  You play the teams in one of the other pods on the road (5 games)  you play the teams in the third pod at home (5 games)  18 games total --  Next year then rotate the 5 game series --  5 teams you played on the road --  You get them at home -  5 teams you played at home - you play on the road.

You could even change the composition of the pods after 2 years.

Natalija has signed with West Liberty College -  they had a pretty good record (21-9) on the Div II level

Per Post Gazette (Mike White)   Thiero is down to five schools --  he will make his decision on Sunday (Mothers Day)  'The Five Schools are DU, Pitt, Kentucky, Xavier and Maryland.

(Monday is also his birthday)   I was hoping that perhaps there was some symbolism in the Mother's Day date with the fact that he had family ties with DU.

White closes the article by stating Xavier and Coach Miller got into the race late after Miller got the job but it's hard to see anyone beating out Kentucky.

I'm not a techie so I can't link the article

Committed to Charlotte

Dennis "Can DO"  I'll even add an asterisk and a special dispensation for Maurice "MO" Drinks *- 

Mo was a JUCO who signed (but never played here)  DU reportedly beat out UNLV for his services -  back then JUCO's were really relevant and Tark got more than his share.

I remember some graffitti in one of the elevators at Rockwell Hall saying --  Where is Mo Drinks?

Granmudder's Post Brings Back Memories (Mostly Painful)

Since this is my post -  my rules -  we will use Old Monetary Values

$100 -  Dukes Big Man Who Left School to Become a Forest Ranger
Who Was Dan Maliagnni (6'11 from Western Beaver -  here same time as Murray M)

$200 -  Dukes Big Man who was a 7'4 German Compatriot of Ardnt Neuhaus
Who Was Rolf Mayr

$300 -  Dukes Big Man - Subjected to "Off His Afro Call"
Who Was Ray Milligan
Officials can point to a player's leg etc and say "Off His Leg"  I remember one call against Ray where the ref pointed to his head and said "off his head.

$400 - Dukes Big Man who Scored 2 Career Varsity Points
Who Was Murray Meikenhous
Although to be fair to Murray under today's rules it would be 3 -  was from WAY DOWNTOWN

$500 -  Dukes Big Man Who Was Cult Icon From Chester High
Who Was Fred Moon!!!
Fred actually had a decent Senior Season -- At times I wondered if Hima might be "Another Fred Moon" but given the present situation and the win now urgency staff probably can't wait.

The Women are permitted 15 scholarships as opposed to 13 for the men.

They presently have 13 scholarship players so 2 openings would remain --  below is the breakdown as to where the players would be at the start of next season --  It presumes Lauren and Olivia will have a redshirt year from the past season.

Freshmen (3)  Westphal, Pushkoli and Sunday

Sophomores (5)  McConnell, Snezhana, Myers, Kulo, Ammons

Juniors (5)  Walker, Wasylon, Hamilton, Johnson and Townsend

Clown.

I agree with A'83 and Hook Shot!!!
 

With Jay Wright's SHOCKING Departure at Villanova --  First name thrown out there was Kyle Neptune -  Fordham's Present Coach

Per Pittsburgh Sports Now --   Ayers has placed his name in the Transfer Portal --  Given the way the season ended with him not on the bench -  not suprising.

Tydus Verhoeven has entered the transfer portal as well.

Nick Kratholm (remember him) Just went into the Portal - from Niagara --  Played very little there this year
