Re: MBB Recruits 2022

Ugh, that stinks for sure. Vermont is what HU should be IMO. A conf dominator and perennial NCAAT qualifier. Hope we can get there some day soon. That said, really like the recruits we have so far - plenty of fish in the sea. As fas as the PG spot, quite an interesting discussion with the different...

Re: MBB Roster for 2022-23

Should we start the way too early starting lineup predictions? I'll give it a shot: Estrada, Dubar and Iyiola are locks Washington I'd imagine is at least expecting to start himself otherwise wouldn't have transferred here. The 5th spot is probably the most open and depends if Speedy has Estrada ru...

Re: Transfer Portal

I think you guys generally nailed our top 8 right now; no arguments form me. I would like to see us get a transfer as the backup to Iyiola though. I don't want to rely on a freshman even for the backup role. Estrada will probably play PG for us most of the time; he ended up playing it a lot last ye...

Re: Transfer Portal

Transfer from Davidson has some polish to his game, both ends of the court. Not a shooter, it seems, but we have plenty of them. Good size, handle, can finish around the rim. He looks like a starter to me. Looks like we have a pretty good eight man rotation. Agreed, think this is the team unless th...

Re: Transfer Portal

1,424, as of this moment: https://www.verbalcommits.com/transfers/2022 We also are still working through players that have an extra year of eligibility due to the 2020-21 season not counting for anyone. So there really is a whole extra years worth of players right now. That will start to work it’s ...

Re: 2022 CAA Tournament

So northeastern wins two games all conference season. Then plays both teams in the conference tournament. That has to be a pretty rare occurrence.

Re: Charleston @ MBB, Monday, 2/28/22, 7 PM

So do we think Speedy is going to play some new lineups? Try things out in a game that doesn't matter while also avoid giving Charleston a look at our main lineups before the quarterfinal match.

Re: CAA Men's Basketball in February 2022 Including Scenario

Let’s see if that Monday game even matters for the 1 seed. The 1 seed now depends on it. UNCW is 15-3, Towson is 14-3. If Towson rallies to win on Monday, they'll be the 1 seed. If they don't, they'll be the 2 and UNCW the 1. Would be better for Hofstra if Towson wins. Let HU -- if they survive Cha...

Re: CAA Men's Basketball in February 2022 Including Scenario

Seems likely Towson will be the #1 seed since I believe they have the tiebreaker. So either a win today & Monday by Towson or a UNCW loss today & 1 win by Towson clinches the 1 seed for Towson.

Re: W&M @ MBB, Saturday, 2/26, 2 PM - Senior Day

This is the last home game for Zach Cooks (G), Jalen Ray (G), Jarrod Simmons (G), and, possibly, Omar Silverio (SR). Not sure if Omar has another year of eligibility (due to Covid) or not. W&M is 4-13 in the CAA and lost to Northeastern last night, 62-28. The Tribe's 28 points are among the low...

Re: Northeastern @ MBB, Saturday, Feb. 19, 2 PM

Not sure why Speedy didn't put Omar back in for the second half when no one's shot was falling. He was fresh off a scoring explosion, so I was hoping it would carry over some. Or when Silverio was in the game, and the team started 3/19 from 3 before making their last 5, why Silverio, who was 1/1 fr...

With a 2 pm start you really couldn't get much done on Saturday.
With 4 pm you go to the game then dinner afterward, made for a nice evening.
Yea that is a good point. 4pm seemed to be a good sweet spot.

Re: MBB @ Delaware, Saturday, 2/12/22, 6:30 PM

I was actually wondering why Hofstra doesn't have any night home games on a Saturday this year. I assume it is there decision since most (maybe all Saturday?) games aren't on TV. A later game works better for me but maybe with family's driving attendance they feel the earlier games are better?

Re: MBB @ Drexel, Thursday, 2/10/22, 7 PM

How many guys can you play? They're already playing eight guys significant minutes, and that's without Cramer in the mix of late. And they're on a three-game winning streak as one of the top teams in the conference that way. I know this board seemingly always wants the entire roster to play every g...

Re: MBB @ Drexel, Thursday, 2/10/22, 7 PM

Carlos is a freshman and definitely still getting used to the college game. I am sure he will be a player for us next year and after that. His minutes have essentially gone away when Ray and Cooks are both healthy. Also with a bit more health at the big man level it has allowed Silverio to play the ...

Didn't get a chance to watch the game as I am still grinding away at the office but the live stats looked like we played a solid game and closed it out in the 2nd half. 2/3rd's of the way through the season and we have split with the top team in the conference, lost both to the 2nd place team and a ...
