The Ram Iona series may be an attempt to create a “Philly” type pre season out of conference game series. Add Manhattan College, Hofstra, Stony Brook, Marist and that could cover much of their out of conference schedule with a “bus” series.

These schools are getting killed with transportation costs for in conference games.

Why does it always seem like we are always the last to get somebody?

I know Grant usually makes the right decision but it would sure give us something to talk about.....

I feel that our Staff/AG target players who are wanted by others, but wait patiently while competitors run the string out on available 'ships. Players then have pressure once they see
THEIR favorites running dry. It's a cat and mouse game in many cases. Our Staff would like to get the early mouse, but quality is often still available late in the game.

Sometimes you have to play chess while the others are playing checkers--with some risk of course.

Is there a chart some where that shows what month our better players were first verbally committed?

I have zero data on this, but it might be some of these fast commits might have had previous relationship to their new schools coach because they were recruited by them while in high school. that would not be the case with Grant for the most part. I also agree with SDFlyer’s comment.

If UCF/Minnesota is the second game there will be about 100 people there. When UD and Tulsa played last year after URI/WVU there were about 200 people there.

URI just got the twins committed so he probably didn’t see a path to minutes. Not sure if he is any good but he’s 6’9 so I’m sure he’ll find a landing spot.

Fordham will announce major changes within its athletic department this afternoon, multiple sources said.

Changes are expected at both the athletic director and men's basketball coach positions.

Changes are expected at both the athletic director and men's basketball coach positions.
Athletic director David Roach and head men’s’ basketball coach Jeff Neubauer are both expected to be replaced, with the Roach development happening first. Roach, 70, could end up retiring. The head coaching change may take some time, sources said.

Among the potential candidates to replace Neubauer are Colgate coach Matt Langel, Pitt associate head coach Tim O’Toole, Villanova assistant Kyle Neptune, Bryant head coach Jared Grasso, former St. John’s and UCLA head coach Steve Lavin and St. Benedict’s Prep head coach and Fordham alum Mark Taylor.

Funny stuff, a major announcement for Fordham is a coaching change. Until they make a major announcement on a new arena and a major focus on men's basketball, the coach and AD may as well be Mickey and Donald.

I have been hearing for at least two months now that Neubauer was going to be gone and I've been hearing Jared Grasso from Bryant is the favorite for the job. I know Jared a little bit and he is a great guy and seems like a very good coach but just not sure if that is the answer for Fordham or if its just another three to five year uphill battle and the cycle starts all over again.

Grasso was the interim HC and assistant there so he should know what he's getting himself into

There was a rumor that they could have had Pitino, instead of Iona landing him.

Maryland transfer Ricky Lindo has committed to George Washington.

Great spring for GW with James Bishop & Matt Moyer also transfer commits from recent weeks.

It seems everyone in the A10 is benefiting from the "Flyers Halo" but the Flyers.

A-10 Recruiting Class Update

https://www.yurview.com/uri-rams/a-1...el=tw-30877219

Run down on all the A10 classes

Dayton

Two for now; one for later for the Flyers

Anthony Grant and his staff have a pair of incoming freshmen who should be capable of competing for immediate minutes in R.J. Blakney (6′-4″, Loomis Chaffee-CT) and Lukas Frazier (6′-3″, Lake Catholic-OH).

Blakney is a long and athletic wing who has vastly improved his skill-set this year while Frazier is a big southpaw with the tools to blossom into a lead guard. The Flyers also hold a commitment from Koby Brea (6′-6″, Monsignor Scanlon) a young senior who may be a red-shirt candidate next year but has a high-ceiling as a late-bloomer with an advanced perimeter skill-set and good positional size.

I am confident that CAG has a plan. I am sure he is not promising potential transfers anything but a chance to earn minutes. The staff has watched MS and Zimi everyday and know what they bring to the lineup. I am confident that MS, Zimi, Blakney and Frazier with contribute. I do not believe that you can recruit at the level we are and then recruit over them with players looking for greener pastures.

They should have talked about Zimi.

Officially, Zimi is an redshirt freshman. If you include him, you include Sissoko. Kind of a grey area.

That’s some high cotton for Richmond! I’m OK with them getting some pre season publicity. It’ll make it all the sweeter when we beat them next year.

I'm good with us sneaking up but absolutely 0 reason we aren't the Top 50. This seems ridiculous. Either Goodman thinks Crutcher is gone or thinks we were only Obi which is also crazy.

I watched Jalen’s 2019-20 highlights utube video yesterday. It’s outstanding. It goes on forever with play after play after play. What stood out for me the most was the speed and constent movement in our offense and it was Jalen pushing that pressure on defenses. From the 3, didn’t matter if he was two inches behind the line or six feet. The man can shoot. And there are plenty of driving the lane and getting shots up with seconds left that go in.

I expected the SLU shot to be the last. It wasn’t. It was sandwiched in the middle. And afterwards I agreed with the editing. It was a big win, but just one of so many highlight plays from Crutcher.

Jalen is a superstar and the basketball world will know it next year.

I don't even know what the answer is to my own question. What would our record have been?

I have given a lot of thought to what our record would have been this season without Obi. It would not obviously be the same, but Obi made stars out of journeyman players from game to game.

playing off this, I think the national guys that really watched Dayton this year would (I think it's completely fair to wonder) about UD's rebounding and post defense next year.

Top 3 rebounders are gone. You watch both Duquesne and St. Louis games, Colorado, Kansas, the game at UMass. Teams exploited UD in the post and on the boards at times

Granted, it's unlikely a team on the schedule next year will be as good as Kansas or maybe Colorado but Michael Weathers, Mike Hughes, Tre Mitchell, French, etc. are all back. Obi, Ryan and Tre are all gone

Jordy and two redshirt freshmen (as of now) are getting some weight put on their shoulders

As good as the back court could be next year, a lot is riding on some as of now unproven guys up front

Francis Okoro is heading to Saint Louis.

Okoro was a top-60 recruit out of high school before spending two years at Oregon. Big pick-up for Ford and company.

I do not understand why Grant is not going after guys like this, or if he is, why they are passing on UD. If you look at the Portal, there are no tall grad transfers left and almost no sit one's with much talent. I am miffed and concerned.

St L with another physical big body.

I don’t know if he’s not going after these guys, or if he gets info on their “makeup” that causes him to say, “Nope”. But I, too, am concerned that we only have 3 players on the roster who are taller than 6’6”, with 2 being Freshmen and 1 being a foul-prone Senior. An ankle tweak here, or a knee wrench there, and we have Ibi playing Power Forward. That’s too thin of ice for me.

Reading the tea leaves from recruiting I think this is by design

From the guys they've signed (Zimi, RJ, Luke) to the ones they've shown interest in it seems like AG has a type he's targeting. 6'3-6'8 guys who are versatile and have some degree of guard/wing skills

Reading stuff from Rivals/247/etc. on Zimi he gets listed as a wing/small forward on just about all the recruiting info. He could be a stretch 4 here but he's not a traditional 4/PF type

I get the impression the future is some sort of one true big and 4 guard/wing types who can pass and handle the ball

I agree as well. Think Big Steve, Jordy, Moulaye are examples of the bigs AG is targeting.
Not a player who screams from the start as D1 ready for whatever reason. An older player who sat a year, transferred, red shirt, whatever. Developmental.

Otherwise talented wings. Ryan and Trey could handle the rock, and with relatively good agility, take it coast to coast if the opening presents itself. Everyone plays D, shoots in rhythm, passes up a good shot for a great shot.

With those kinds of players, I don't think we were ever significantly bothered by presses, even against teams like VCU who have that style of defense in their DNA.

It's a proven model for success.

I don't know why you would say something like that.

Coach Grant thought Richmond was going to the surprise of the league last year. He was right. And I think they have everyone back.

Why? Coaches do not like to play against their friends, and from everything I have read, AG and John Brannen are really good friends. Richmond is supposed to be good, and all early predictions in the college basketball world better than us. Good for UC playing a good A10 team. If something like this ticks you off, you need to re-evaluate life.

It is not just about Brannen and Grant. UC has never been willing to play us regularly. They have been dodging us for decades. I also am ticked. Even under Huggins, games against them were few and far between. But at least Huggins played us, so props to him.

Looks like I was wrong about Huggins...he played us more times than I remembered...still only 1 though under Cronin in the regular season.

Re-evaluate life? That's a little extreme don't ya think? Geez...did you think I was suicidal or something? While I appreciate you looking out for my mental well being, I'm quite in tune with life and needn't spend time re-evaluating. My initial comment was just a passing thought there eagle.

What ticked me off is that we struggle to get good non con home and home games and Richmond was able to get it with UC and we weren't. Now, right after that, I saw on another thread that we have a home and home scheduled with SMU. I guess I can be taken off suicide watch...

Looking at it a little closer and with new knowledge of the SMU series, it could be as simple as UD wants to start a home and home at home and UC wants to start a home and home at home as well so the planets didn't align. I'm glad we finally have a quality (non buy) home game. Now, will we be able to even attend?

The first statement above is so ridiculous I was going to reply, but springboro said it quite well. I was also a little ticked off.

With UC we are in the same recruiting area and media area, so just like us not playing WSU or Miami, which I agree with, UC won't play us.

agree, need my glasses fixed. I was at UD during the Oscar Robertson years. Always seemed to play well against them but couldn't beat them.

Ok, I'm not sure where to post this, but something seems a bit fishy here.
Other A10 teams and peer teams are scheduling decent OOC games, other A10 teams and peer teams are landing transfers, other teams (UConn) are being invited to the NBE and we are stuck in the A10. What gives? Is there something I'm missing? Is there something wrong with Sullivan? Grant? Spina? that is standing in our way? Something seems off.

Note: I know Spina is an issue, but he's probably not that involved with MBball to make a difference - or is he?

NBE - I know Grant wasn’t involved. I don’t think Spina was here then either. And, if I remember right (?) Sullivan was an assistant AD back then.

OOC Games - assuming you mean mostly our home schedule - the Flyer Faithful plays into the equation big time. Coaches know Dayton’s home crowd is brutal. I doubt anyone wants to change that or stop selling out.

Transfers - recent history has shown we have gotten more than our fair share of some great transfers, especially under Grant. I understand most thought it would be easier this off season. Not playing in the NCAAs first hurt emotionally for the team and fans. But once that sting migrated into a dull ache...the reality of the total cost to the program begins to sink in. That includes the financial loss, the publicity loss which includes exposure of how Grant coaches, what systems he runs and the reality transfers would have “dreamed” of how they could fit in playing for Grant. That also translates to high school recruits. We also lost the exposure the Flyer Faithful would have gotten. We’ve heard recruits and their parents comment on how great Dayton fans are...another card we use in recruiting. We lost all this when the NCAAs got cancelled.

Additionally, I think most players outside of the A10 and region only heard about Obi and they know he’s gone. They don’t know about Jalen, Ibi and Rodney returning. On an individual player basis, you hurt for the seniors, but I think the player that took the biggest personal hit with the cancelled NCAA was Jalen. Hawaii was Obi’s coming out party. The NCAAs would have been Jalen’s. All of our guards lost the opportunity to showcase their talents and UD lost the opportunity for 4 & 5 transfers to see how exciting it could be for them to fill those spots with what I believe will be one of the best backcourt trio in the country next year.

Completely agree with Becky. With no other big man additions, I see AG moving to 4 guard offense next year. Jordy and Sissoko won't be on the court at same time.

So you are going to have Crutcher, Chatman, Watson, Cohill, and either Sissoko or Jordy as starters?

And your first players off the bench would be either Sissoko, Tshimanga, or Nwokeji ?

How many of the guards are going to play 40 minutes?

I don't think we have the bench for a 4 guard offense.

Not that I think we will be going to a 4 guard offense, but we also have Luke Frazier. Grant is a great coach. He will use four guards, three guards or two as the situation and bench dictates.

I have been pondering the same starting lineup myself. The only thing that would concern me would be going against a big, athletic front line.

If nothing changes I'm not sure how they don't go 4 guard at least part of the time.

Jordy and Sissoko I don't think would play together. I think they would be a two headed monster in the post. Assuming that Chase doesn't come back that leaves Zimi as the lone forward on the roster.

If the roster stands pat and next season is 10 guys. Cohill and 3 freshman guard/wing types are your bench potentially with one of Jordy/Sissoko depending on who wins that job

Looking at recruiting I think this is by design. This class and the next it seems like most of the guys targeted are bigger versatile guys

People seem to be forgetting about Blakney, who by all accounts is a heluva player.

I’m sure we’ll be very strong in the A-10 this year, contending for another championship. We can play 4-guard sets in the A-10, because there are very few dominant, true “bigs” in the A-10. Many teams play 4 players 6’6” or shorter, so what’s the problem with us playing 4 guys 6’5” or shorter, if our guys have the skill levels of Clutch, Ibi, et al? None at all. The problem will come if/when we make The Dance, and have to go against a basketball factory that plays 4 players 6’6” or taller. At that point, I hope someone can find us some Flubber.

Last year a lot of people on here were saying how great it was that Crutcher was only going to have to play 25-30 minutes per game. I said multiple times that he would be in the 30-35 minute range and that by the end of the year he would be playing close to 40 minutes per game. Most of that came true and I believe that if we didn't have some blowouts early on he would have been much closer to 35 mpg. I would expect next year he will be on the court over 35 mpg and probably 40 in close games.

I think this is absolutely gonna be the case for him, Rodney and Ibi. Next season UD is going as far as those guys take them

BeckysTXA I appreciate your perspective. As for the NBE, I really meant recent history rather than the original formation. I'd like to think we have a better overall story to tell than UConn. I get that UConn revive some old BE rivalries, but still. We need some savvy suits to build on recent success and the covid crisis to make this happen.

OOC games - I get your point and I'd rather have a consistently rabid Flyer Faithful than not. If we have to play more one way games, so be it. If you want to be the best, you need to play the best.

Transfers - Without going into a long tirade with multiple points, lets consider this one statement we hear on this board over and over "we need to get "John Doe" to campus" as if we have nothing more to offer than our world class facilities. How does "X" or any other school with average facilities recruit over us for transfers and HS prospects? These kids and their HS, AAU, and college coaches have to know by now, and by now I mean the past 10 years, what our facilities are like. ESPN, etc, talks about our facilities as well as our fan base all the time. So why is it harder for us? Lack of asst. coach connections, A10, lack of consistent A10/NCAA tournament success???
Rant over - feel free to go about your normal business.

I would only add that the corona virus has also prevented prospective players and their parents from meeting and talking to Grant and staff in person and also meeting the team, doing an open gym with them etc and seeing the campus and facilities first hand. My opinion is that the lack in person interaction hurts us more than many other schools.

That's where I am as well. Grant took a lot of ingredients that UD has to offer and mixed it
into a compelling story for recruiting. More than 95% of the programs we compete with in recruiting do not have it blended like we do. COVID cost us that advantage. But when one factors in the lost lives and hardships, it is just a lost opportunity.

I remember the Temple teams of Chaney seemed to dominate with 4 6-5ish guys and a center.

While I loath UConn and they have been down a bit in recent years (although they still have had many big time recruits on their roster, which makes it even more perplexing that they have been down), I can't agree with you on this statement. They have FOUR National Titles in the last 21 years so I don't think anyone in the Big East would think we have a better overall story when comparing the two programs.

Don't you think it's a bit naive to make a blanket statement like that at this point? First off, outside of a few minutes in an exhib. game, nobody knows what Sissoko has in his game, what he'll bring or even how much better he may be since last October with still over 5 months left before next season opens up. Same with Jordy. Kid missed almost all of fall practice and used over the first half of the season to acclimate back into game mode. Not to mention the knee probably is feeling even better now that two months ago.

I'll venture to say that they both will be on the court at the same time and probably even more than just token minutes and plenty will be dictated by what was mentioned above, game situations, match-ups, opponents, etc.

I don’t thinks it naive at all if you follow and trust the recruiting the guy who does know the answers to these questions is doing both this year and next. Lots of guards on the list not so many bigs. He also panicking isn’t grabbing a big just to have bodies. He knows what he has and what he wants and is it going to stick to his plan to not take just anyone no matter their resume. I fully trust and respect his approach.

My take on the comment we won’t see Jordy and Sissko on the court at the same time much next year had more to do with keeping a big out of foul trouble at all times, not so much could they compliment each other in the lineup at the same time. If Chase is a no go and we don’t pick up another 4 or 5, it’s probably a reality. I expect Jordy to be better at managing his own fouls, but you still have to be careful.
