2006, post championship in the Fieldhouse. I met Jason Taylor at BW3 and he took a break from his round of Golden Tee to sign my bobblehead box. Won't ever forget it, he was very cordial and flattered.

If that's what Seton Hall trots out against Big East teams next year it's gonna be a long season. Edert averaged 9.5 ppg and 0.9 assists as a guard in the MAAC. Good luck in the Big East

Seton Hall Peacocks

Awesome! No, no tickets required.

So I noticed that three St. Peter's players entered the Transfer Portal today after their coach bailed and took the Seton Hall job. Not saying I blame him, but it sucks for the St. Peter's players and fans after their great run. One of the players is Edert.

The Pittsburgh Pirates named JT Brubaker , entering his third season in the big leagues, their Opening Day starter on Sunday.

Exactly. It is similar to the recruiting process where you have to wait to see how the top kids are going to pan out before the other kids settle into their new schools. I did an informal study and found that 97.8% of college basketball players are unrealistic as to the level of their talent and the quality of schools that might want them.

Was curious, so I went through the verbal commits portal real quick and slapped together a very non-scientific analysis of the 117 listed transfers with new landing spots as of this morning. Compared the conference prestige with old/new teams for the player. If a conference was within +/- 5 ranking spots, the move was considered lateral. 61 (52.14%) moved down in D1 or to a lower level. 29 (24.79%) moved laterally, to a conference with similar prestige or within the same conference. 27 (23.08%) moved up a competition level or to a higher prestige conference in D1. Moral of the story: Lots of movement still to happen, but if we see similar numbers to this I think a lot of kids will realize it's not worth starting over when they have a >75% chance of moving laterally or down in their final landing spot.

Two different positions, different hometowns, etc. By that theory, Akron shouldn't have hired their new football coach because it hasn't worked in the past from hiring from a power 5 school.

Also like the preceeding comment in the article. “There is no level of compromise. They're going to do it the way we want it done or they can find another place to play or they can sit on the bench,” he said. “It's really one of three things. Do it the way this team needs to be done that's led to a 52-25 career head coaching record and five different conference championships at five different schools as a head coach or coordinator or the [transfer] portal's open for business."
