Re: NCAA 2024 MBB Transfer Portal

Well boys-I can honestly say I’m very scared about this situation we are now facing. Don’t want to be negative, but we need to be transparent. With all the firepower Charleston and Uncw are no putting together, the CAA may be a runaway and it doesn’t look like we will be competing.

Re: Saban, Trump and NIL

I would be ALL FOR THIS. I even said it weeks ago that I hoped trump would put an end to this. As a matter of fact, there should be Be an NIL. It’s totally ruined college sports and these kids should be lucky just to get a full ride and an education.

Re: NCAA 2024 MBB Transfer Portal

I think we need about a million bucks donated each year to our basketball team. I’m assuming we have some very wealthy Wall Street alumni. It would help if we used Metzger’s money towards basketball. As a matter of fact, a small D2 school near me said they’d be getting rid of their athletic teams du...

Re: Mens lax 2025

We’ve become very complacent with our athletic programs including our men’s lax team which used to be quite decent to where we are now accepting of the fact that we aren’t and won’t be making it to the NCAA tourney probably ever again. We have nothing to build off of for next year. Don’t kid yourself

Re: Speedy Claxton

Guys-bringing this thread back to life. Let’s say we don’t have a good year next year with our BBall team…hope I’m totally wrong and I’m going to stay positive, but what happens if we don’t. Does Speedy call it a night? Does Hofstra actually fire a guy like speedy Clayton? I don’t see that…but curio...

Re: Mens lax 2025

I still got love for our lax team, but all we did was make the CAA lacrosse playoffs. Nothing too major especially for a team that used to compete and be decent (hasn’t been for a while though), so I guess we should be excited about getting to the conference playoffs at this point. How this program ...

Re: NCAA 2024 MBB Transfer Portal

I don’t think we are really asking for much. It’s not like we are in the A10 or some highly regarded mid-major bball league at this point and even when we had a stacked roster that was able to compete with the big names we never got it done when it mattered by never getting to the dance. Then, we ha...

Re: NCAA 2024 MBB Transfer Portal

I’ve been watching Hofstra’s rank fall year over year since I graduated. 128 down to 195 or something like that. This is after we pumped money into the medical school and three presidential debates. I’m not going to lie, based on the overall status, we’d have been better off pumping the debate mone...

Re: NCAA 2024 MBB Transfer Portal

if Hofstra is going to continue to remain in the CAA, then the school needs to compete FINANCIALLY with the top of the conference in men's basketball, it's flagship sport. And right now that certainly does not seem to be the case. To settle for mediocrity on the basis of money would be a slap in th...

Re: NCAA 2024 MBB Transfer Portal

Looks like Aranguren to Utah State They’re a good team. They were a 10 seed in the Tourney and Wilmington was a 14. Crazy! I was just curious and looked up what the Utah state basketball coach makes and it wasn’t like he had a tremendous record prior as he was the coach at Youngstown state. His bas...

Guys, there are still hunderds of talented players in the portal and plenty of time to add them to the roster...I for one am confident we will build a competitive roster. This is typical of this program...we hear nothing then BANG! A player signs...keep the faith! Sorry-I think you’re being a littl...

I would kill to get back to America East. Sign me the f up. Get us out of this hell hole calked the CAA. Talk about overpaying for an underpaying product.

Re: Mens lax 2025

Mikey-you’re right. The only thing Cole has done was signed Hofstra to an all athletic Nike deal which doesn’t say much considering we were one of the last schools to get an all athletic team deal. D2 schools had that before us, but he did that for us so there’s that. Can’t think of anything else.

Re: NCAA 2024 MBB Transfer Portal

I'm not saying this kid can't play or that there arent quality players in D2. But 5'10 160 and based on his own highlight package no ability to finish with both hands... that's an NEC player not a CAA player. But this really isn't about this kid specifically. Just don't try to sell me on D2 kids wh...

Re: NCAA 2024 MBB Transfer Portal

It's sickening what has happened to college sports. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. So called amateur sports has evolved into this mess. It’s sickening and totally ruining it.

Re: NCAA 2024 MBB Transfer Portal

So here's the first transfer I've seen who's reportedly taking a visit here... Josh Reaves, 6'4 sr guard from UIC. Only appeared in 16 games and did next to nothing there this past season, but was ok as a starter for Mt St Mary's in 23-24. Career 37% 3pt shooter but under 40% FG overall. Seems a lo...

Re: NCAA 2024 MBB Transfer Portal

Hofstra has money so start spending it on athletics. It’s not that difficult. We need to do whatever we can to become a basketball school and jump ship to the A10. The CAA is totally washed at this point and if we don’t do something quickly Wilmington and Charleston are going to leave soon before us...

Campbell's Colby Duggan, who was 1st team all-conference, just committed to Charleston. This is seriously getting out of hand Exactly. And we are stuck with D2 players lol. We should’ve taken advantage of the good teams we had the prior 5-6 years before this season. Now we are at the bottom looking...
