[Wags]

Updated, per the NE game notes:

1) Charles Jenkins (2007-11) 2,513
2) Antoine Agudio (2004-08) 2,276
3) Steve Nisenson (1962-65) 2,222
4) Loren Stokes (2003-07) 2,148
5) Rich Laurel (1973-77) 2,102
6) Bill Thieben (1953-56) 2,045
7) Craig “Speedy” Claxton (1996-00) 2,015
8) Justin Wright-Foreman (2015-19) 1,950

Good chance for JWF to pass Speedy on Throwback Day at home vs. W&M on 2/9.

And if he doesn't get 50 in the next two he could reach 2,000 on 2/9.

I'd prefer he pass him this Saturday, but that's just me!

Of course, but he wasn't going for 66 at NU on Saturday. lol

Still 50 away from Speedy after just 15 on Saturday, so it'll now take a couple of good scoring games (at around his current average) to catch Speedy in that game on 2/9.

The game before (against Elon, on 2/7), he can set a new CAA record with what could be his 77th straight game in double figures, breaking the 76 straight set by both David Robinson and Reggie Lewis. So a chance to not only right ship at home this week after seeing the winning streak end, but a chance for JWF to simultaneously get a couple of nice milestones in the two home games coming up.

It’s pretty incredible to think how JWF would have a shot at approaching 3,000 points had he red shirted his freshman year and was coming back next year. The fact that he’s gonna finish likely top 5 all time in only 3 years is insane. Would hate to see 2,000 have to happen on the road so let’s home he has a big weekend.

I like his chances on Saturday but we need to be focused on winning now that's the #1 priority. Team first!

Reggie Lewis doesn't count because he played for Northeastern but not in the CAA.

https://gohofstra.com/news/2019/2/1/men ... award.aspx is titled "MBB: Wright-Foreman Named Finalist For 2019 Jerry West Shooting Guard of the Year Award." It was narrowed down from 20 players to 10, and he's the only player not in the top seven conferences.

Correct. I was going by what Hofstra listed below, after the Northeastern loss. I should have questioned that, since Northeastern obviously joined the CAA (2005-06) even later than Hofstra did.

- Wright-Foreman reached double figures in scoring for the 76th consecutive game. It is the second-longest active streak in the nation and tied for the 14th-longest in NCAA Division I history. In addition, it is tied for the longest in the history of the CAA with David Robinson of Navy (1985-87) and Reggie Lewis of Northeastern (1984-87).

Postseason numbers count in this?

Another 16-game winning streak would have them playing in the national title game.

Yup, they do (that's why some wanted Rok to get a game in one of those lousy tourneys last year instead of falling 9 boards short of David Robinson's rebounding record).

At his average, he needs 8 games for Number 3. If we win the regular season title and get in the NIT if we lose our first CAA Tournament game, we get at least 8 games. It's possible that JWF could pass Nisenson in the same game as UNCW's Kai Toews breaks the CAA season assists record. That could happen if we're the 1 and UNCW wins the 8 vs. 9 game. Voters could have to decide on Rookie of the Year without knowing if Toews will break a season record (for any CAA player, not just freshmen) in the CAA Tournament.

Pemberton is on pace to finish ninth in points after next season.

Do you believe in miracles???

[EvanJ]

The CAA says he's 12th in points. Here's the Top 11:

1. David Robinson: 2,669
2. Charles Jenkins: 2,513
3. Carlos Yates: 2,420
4. John Newman: 2,383
5. Antoine Agudio: 2,276
6. Devon Saddler: 2,222
7. Marcus Thornton: 2,178
8. Kenny Sanders: 2,177
9. Loren Stokes: 2,148
10. Brett Blizzard: 2,144
11. Odell Hodge: 2,117

At his current pace, JWF would need 8 games to pass Saddler, which would give us the top three scorers since we joined the CAA. The next most by a player in the CAA since Hofstra joined is Eric Maynor's 1,953, which is tied for 16th.

If Hofstra reaches the CAA Finals as the 1 seed, they'd have a minimum of 9 games left - 5 regular season, 3 CAA tourney, 1 NCAAT (we hope!) or 1 NIT.

Over those 9 games, he'd have to average:
18.22 to pass Nisenson (sorry, Steve!)
24.22 to pass Agudio (dangerously close, Antoine!)

So if they both hang on to first place and play in the CAA Finals, it's a pretty good bet that Jenkins will be the only one JWF won't catch.

More immediately, we can expect some more accolades to come his way at home again. Unless he goes over 42 again (at UNCW), he'll very likely pass Laurel in Hofstra's next home game on 2/21. I'd say there's probably a 40% chance he'll have the 29.67 he'd need to average over the next three games to also catch Stokes on Senior Day, two days later.

Rich Laurel with all due respect you were a great player but you must be starting to hear the footsteps getting louder and louder. If we give him a normal freshman year he would be right near the top and maybe on the top looking down. He's had an unbelievable career and there's still plenty of work to be done.

[Jojogunne]

Rich Laurel was the best Hofstra player I've ever seen. Speedy was second and Charles third. Justin is closing in on the fourth spot on my person Dutch "Mount Rushmore".

Note: I did not see Nisenson or Thieben. I am not THAT old!
