Quinnipiac and Monmouth are going all in on their athletic programs. Kind of like Hofstra back in the Gardi/Wright days...they may out grow the MAACPolito wrote:We may all find out real soon just how good Grasso AND Cluess are as JG is gaining momentum for a HC job - potentially LIU Brooklyn or Quinnipiac to start...
This would be VERY interesting to see those two separated and how that plays out. Me thinks one of them will suffer.
LIU-B would be a real good fit for Grasso IMO. Can't imagine him playing against Iona at QU.
And for those who find this interesting, QU is reported as being willing to go up to the $800k range !!I mean that is sick dough for the MAAC. For ANY mid really.
QU looks to be making a major sports focus and investment. Good for them. Wish HU would catch up and stop getting left in the dust.
Crazy LIU let Jack Perri go, he did a good job with that program, they beat St. John's for the first time in forever in that doubleheader when we played Kentucky, 20 wins this year. It's worth it if you get Larry Brown in the mix I suppose.Polito wrote:Oh and LIU-B is potentially taking a look at Larry Brown, and word is the one and only Bruiser Flint has already been on campus. I mean for an NEC program they are looking at some serious / big name candidates.
How's Iona's lacrosse, softball and other teams doing?Wags wrote:Hofstra by comparison:Polito wrote:I am absolutely jealous of those post season results, and would go bananas to have literally HALF that at HU in the same timeframe.2010–11 / 25–12 / CIT Runner–Up

Iona: seven 20-win seasons, 4 NCAAT's, 2 NIT's since Cluess left C.W. Post.
Hofstra: three 20-win seasons, 0 NCAAT's, 1 NIT in the same time frame.
There IS no comparison. We're one of the last programs in the area who should be condemning anyone else's success.
How's the interest in those sports?HUSID80 wrote: How's Iona's lacrosse, softball and other teams doing?
Frankly, there's quite a bit of interest in those sports if you actually looked at the other posts. I'm thrilled that our lacrosse team is ranked THIRD IN THE NATION!Wags wrote:How's the interest in those sports?HUSID80 wrote: How's Iona's lacrosse, softball and other teams doing?
If we have to bring that up, that says it all about how far ahead they've been relative to us in men's basketball (which let's be honest, is the primary reason this board and CAAZone were created in the first place; that's where the interest is!).
