Re: Coaching Carousel 2024

Who will be on Marquettes short list? Think these are logical bets: Ryan Wellner John Odierna Jon Thompson John Galloway Andrew McMinn Stephen Brundage Justin Ward John Orsen Curious to see if Coach Stimmel lands at Navy. Could he end up back at Yale? Or -He's a Pittsburgh guy- there are a ton of d...

Re: 2023 D2 Rumors

The Hurst rumor has been floating around for a long time. outside of Hockey that is already D1 they are nowhere close to having d1 facilities. We'll see what transpires but I'm not holding my breath.

Re: NJIT

What would anyone bring up VMI on the NJIT thread? This is great to see for NJIT a great academic school in an impossible location to recruit to. But as others have said- the strength of schedule is meh. that's said lets go-

Re: D2 LAX & Engineering

A good academic d3 would have way more merit money to offer than d2 athletic money- in general. Milwaukee, Beloit, RIT, Stevens, RPI. you are nuts not to check those schools out.

Re: Coaching Carousal

Mercyhurst just played in the National Championship. With no Le Moyne, the path to the Championship is easier in the North than the South now. It will be interesting to see how it plays out as we creep into August. I checked out Mercyhurst Website. Football coach just retired after 20 years, Hockey...

Re: Transfer Portal 2024

I'm not sure if I consider the current transfer environment a problem, but if this trend continues after the covid effect clears, do the folks here who don't like this trend think the one year sit-out for non-grad student transfers is a potential solution? Not losing a year's eligibility, just a ye...

Re: Coaching Carousel 2023 - D3

Colfer (former Cabrini HC) Steve Colfer took a job at a glamorous inter-ac school here in PA. The Episcapal Academy (EA). Probably being paid 2-4x what a SUNY could offer. He's also a local and has two children that I would imagine anticipate entering into EA (read: free tuition at a prestigious sc...

Re: Coaching Carousel 2023 - D3

For Plunkett the chance to get a state job with all the benefits that come that way. I don't know much about Muhlenburg finances but small D3 schools by and large are not the most secure right now. What is his family situation? Would Cortland work for them?

Re: Transfer Portal 2024

Schaller got a decent amount of time at LSM for Maryland last year so that's not much of a rebuild. The ssdm's to Rutgers are good on paper. What remains to be seen how they and the other transfers fit in. Schaller played close once Zappitello hurt his hand. Nick Redd had to pick back up the long p...

Allegheny is interesting- good academics strong endowment for a school of that level. Wonder what their level of lax support is 5 years in?

Re: 2023 D3 Rumors

For smaller tuition dependent schools in general the demographic cliff is tough to get around. I fear more schools will throw in the towel as institutions- not just athletically. No specifics known personally but I'm sure they are out there. And not everyone has a neighbor like Cabrini who can buy t...

All seems very quiet on the coaching front here, any whispers as to who might be in the running I am wondering the same thing. Wondering if it may be at least another month due to the new AD's tenure not officially beginning until then. Friend on the board of trustees says the following New AD is g...

He counted on these guys to stay another year and finish up as graduate students in the business school. Why would he count on that after both Schelling and Kirst elected to use their 5th years elsewhere? Feel like he should have seen the writing on the wall He really was All In with these guys. Ki...
