Sorry guys, was gone all weekend, I missed out on all the fun. Friday night was real simple, CSI really wanted to win that game and Hunter, much like the knicks did yesterday, never showed up to play.

I haven't been to the Brooklyn gym yet, is it any worse than Lehman during the day, they have a lot of sun coming into the gym?

Wow, we got the infamous knightstalker to post on the cuny board. CUNY does seem to play where they can, although I know it doesn't have the same vibe and charm as Harvard on the Boulevard. I can't walk outisde the Arc or the "Dog House"  and grab a burger and fries from the diner.

Has anyone seen Staten Island at all this year, I feel they are always the one left out team on the boards?

It has nothing to do with either team's gpa's. Its a statement to simply say that the courses at one school could be harder than ones at another. Someone could have a 4.0 at one school, yet that could only be a 3.0 at a different school depending on their academic strength.

Racial comments and stereotypes are both the same in the way they are being used on here, your assuming I'm typing York because of their ethnicity or geographical location. I'm just saying there's a good chance the players at Baruch and possibly Hunter have a harder time staying eligible because of the higher academic standards and more competitive courses they offer, than those at other schools in the cunyac.

That in part goes with what was said today as well, in that schools like Hunter are recruiting the wrong type of kids. They are bringing in guys who have a lot of talent, transfers from all levels and places, but not guys who are good academically. Rankis has done it the right way at Baruch by bringing in private school kids like the Molloy kids he has, because odds are they will have a better shot in the classroom at Baruch, than say a juco or community college transfer or a D1 leftover.

If anyone ever has the time, take a look at what sports each school is best at, and it can sometime tell you something about the school and the type of kids that do well at each school.

The craigslist ref post is an early candidate for post of the year.

To that guy up top of the page who I have never seen post before, I favor no cuny team, but see Hunter games more often because I'm usually in the area. Also, I am far from a racist, nor am I a republican. As for college, I have a degree from an NJAC school.

Danny said it best though about a possible conflict of interest, and I'm not saying they are doing anything wrong, but I just feel as with any conference, there are schools with higher standards on the academic end and ones that have harder and more challenging courses than others. There's a wide gap in the CUNY when you compare schools.

Regardless of what happens behind closed doors, because I am sure there are plenty of other issues none of us ever know about, tonight's game was interesting considering everyone on here felt that York would win by over 20 and also that it was time to forget about Hunter. Klingsberg has his worst game of the season, if he was on, Hunter would have walked away with a W tonight. It was a fun game to watch regardless, especially when St. John decided to run half way across the court to throw a temper tantrum because his kid got T'd up for hanging on the rim. I didn't realize he thought it was legal for a player to do a pull-up on the rim after a jam.

My one note for the night, as much as people want to bash coaches and such, am I the only one that feels half the kids on York's team probably couldn't cut it academically anywhere else. I mean seriously, how challenging can it be to go to York, I bet half these kids couldn't last one semester at Baruch or Hunter.

Was anyone at the Brooklyn/John Jay game last night, I heard there was a fight on the court? I wonder if anyone will be suspended for this weekend's game now.

For the record, Lopez is averaging 20.8, while Rubino averages 19.5. As a team, I would much rather see 19.5, 17.2, 16.5 out of your top three than compared to York's 20.8, 16.3, 13.0. Saturday should be a good game and then next Wednesday will be interesting as well, but don't expect to see a 20 point win on the board.

Klingsberg is a hell of a talent, great shot, drives to the hoop without hesitation and is solid from the line, but I have noticed his disinterest on the court. Not sure why someone with his talent would not want to be out there, but then again, could just be how he is, I never saw him play in high school, so do not have anyway to compare.

Rubino and Dubois seem to trade off nights, earlier int he season Rubino was very impressive, then when he got shut down, Dubois went off for 25+. I agree with everyone, Hunter is one or two more players away from having a legit contender. This new kid might help, but I would think if they retain, we'll be talking about Hunter more next season than this one.

@Queens: Trust me, as I know Frantz pretty well, he wishes he could still be out there as well. He would have made this team so much better, plus add the leadership they lack. Its never easy for anyone when you've used up your four years, but its good to see he's not forgotten on the board, the kid had a ton of heart.

Danny, I was waiting for a Rhodes recap as well, I'm sure he was there. As from what I can tell, not even Carpenter played, so they didn't go with a "big" lineup at all. Baruch is clearly a solid team, but that's what happens when you spend four plus year building a squad. No one else in cuny right now has a team like that, at this point the only battle is going to be for the second seed an nothing having to play baruch until the finals.

Well that's true for every team, in every conference. You just never know who is going to make it to the second semester and who's going to have newcomers. One thing I love about the NJAC, it's like a whole new season in January, since half the teams add one like four new guys and lose a couple, completely different teams. In the CUNYAC, it seems more school's lose than add. I haven't heard any rumors around the CUNYAC yet, so it seems doubtful Hunter or anyone will have a midseason addition, I don't think there will be any Marlon Smith's showing up this year.

I like how the brooklyn fans came out to vote on the poll. Interesting to see Baruch and Hunter in a tie. I tell you that game on January 6 should be interesting, although a little disappointing that its during the break, would have been nice to have a fully packed, hostile Hunter gym.

The board has been dead, I guess there haven't been many rumors circling around the cuny world yet. All I know is Brooklyn is ranked to start the season, so they must be the favorite to repeat at the moment. Hopefully the board will pick up in another week or two.

How is beating CCNY a big win? CCNY is horrible this year!

I'm still waiting to see who is going to be the darkhorse this season, not that what happened last year will happen every year, but just have a feeling there's going to be a surprise team popping up in the semi's this year.

I hope the best for Brooklyn this season, Podias has a team with class, unlike the ghetto trash Lehman puts on the floor. I've never seen so many immature college students, acting up on the bench, talking trash at the end of the game when shaking the opposing team's hands. That is the sort of behavior that prevents CUNY teams from getting any respect and it was just sad. They need to go watch how real team's act, no matter what the score is. Brooklyn looks good this year, but they have a really really weak schedule outside of the conference. Baruch is probably the favorite to win it this year, but don't count out the chance of another dark horse team to pull a john jay.
