Its possible they are just being truthful about actual heights and weights.
Different schools handle that differently. Some will blindly carry inaccurate heights and weights from prior years. It becomes a function of the Football program and the SID staying on top of the actual metrics which change from year to year to make sure rosters are accurate.
Others will simply embellish the numbers to look bigger or smaller.   

For sure, if a NESCAC kid gets a chance he should embrace it, why not.

Pro Day invites especially in Orono Maine mean next to nothing. They may have a small pool of players for the Maine Pro Day and made a call to Coach Cosgrove to provide some additional bodies so they have enough guys to run the battery of drills.
The only CBB guy who should be considered here is Koy Price.

Lloyd will be a good coach based on his resume. Too soon to consider letting him go.

However, Bowdoin has made moves which have been surprising and unprecedented in the cozy, friendly NESCAC.

A few years ago the young AD got a phone call from the front man of a group of well heeled Football alums who were not happy with the Football program. Very shortly thereafter they wasted no time in dumping coach JB Wells while eating 2 years of the contract in the process. Unprecedended by NESCAC standards.

Quote from: names jaismith on February 25, 2025, 12:26:52 PMHard to say.....Bates improved this year and has some promising players.  I would not make a change yet......Amherst?  I am sure alums and fans are disappointed with a drop off after being a perennial power....plus the eye test did't paint a picture of a team that consistently played to the level of talent on the roster.  I never want to see a good person lose his job, but it's fair to say that given Amherst's academic prestige and massive financial aid resources, the team should have been better over the past few seasons.

Current coach has 4 winning seasons in 16 years. 3 winning seasons in the NESCAC. Those closer to the program than I say he's had a very fair 16 year opportunity.

We may see a change at Bates.

4 winning seasons in 16 years. 2 of those winning seasons were the first 2 years following Joe Reilly tenure at Bates.

Reilly's record in the 7 years prior to his departure:
13-11
16-9
18-8
19-8
20-6
18-7
17-8   2008- Reilly departed for Wesleyan

Quote from: rdanie03 on February 09, 2025, 02:56:14 PMI think the most likely underclassman all-american in the NESCAC is probably Dylan Reilly. Elite shutdown defender and one of the best catch and shoot guys in league history

In the time it took you to write this post, Matt Saint Amour knocked down 10 triples.

Say no more

NESCAC schools cannot release incoming recruits until 5/1.

Similar scheme different players- might work very well in Lewiston. Should be fun to watch.

Quote from: Nescacman on January 31, 2025, 02:23:40 PMWord out of Lewiston is that the Frisky Kitties are going to give 2nd Team All-NESCAC WR Sergio Beltran a shot at QB in 2025. He was dynamic in 2025 (and 2024) both running and catching the ball. Our understanding is that he played QB in HS at the Menlo School in the Bay Area so the position is not totally new to him. Beltran could be a force running the flex option for the Kitties along side OPOTY candidate Ryan Lynskey. Interesting development.

Coach Coyne looking to deploy the Wesleyan QB scheme from a few years ago. The 2 headed monster approach to the QB position a la Estevez and Candido. Open backfield approach, brutal to prepare for and play against.
Moore and Beltan the fastest and most athletic on the Bobcat roster.

Great rep there- pulling for Panther Perry!!

Based on relationships with at least 7 Trinity Alums going back to the 70's, most of which are loyal and very generous supporters to date. At least 2 of them will someday be in the Bantam HOF. I also was privy to the finances and donations specifically for their golf event going back 10 years as well as other fundraising efforts including stadium, scoreboard etc.

I know you are a loyal Trinity guy and it all seems normal to you. It's not, if you think other NESCAC Football programs are generating that kind of revenue you're mistaken.
It is the Golden Goose when compared with other NESCAC programs and any new leader would be crazy to tamper with it.

That's what I was saying 2 days ago. The new President may bring some changes but will not get in the way of that Bantam Football revenue arsenal, will not kill the golden goose. Way too much support from Alums, administration and faculty, it all works beautifully for Trinity.

Trin is unlike any other NESCAC Football program. Though I'm not a fan of the HCOF and his arrogance Ive always commended the College for their unwavering commitment to winning Football.

Good point Charles.

Thanks for the endowment info but that's not what I was addressing here on the Football board.  I am not talking about overall Alumni support for the College or the total endowment. I am referring specificlly to the Football Alums and groups supporting Football. I am saying Trinity has the most involved, supportive Football alums driven by years of dynasty like success within the program. They consistently deliver very significant financial support for Trinity Football. In recent years we believe this has spread increasingly to other sports but Trinity Football is the hub of the wheel in terms of financial commitment.
The Trinity Football Alumni network is stronger than any other NESCAC program.

I understand the importance of the Trustees but I wouldn't downplay the hand of the President in matters concerning Football and Athletics.
