Bowdoin  7' John Swords  and Bryan Hurley

MIT with 6'7 " Stobos and 6'9" Acker from Philly

WPI  Boston Herald all-stars Coppola and Longwell  + 6'5" Michalski . 6'7 Mastacusa

Trinity with A BIG "7 " ...Simpson Spirou 6'5", Seltzer 6'6;Rioux 6'5 plus  quality guards in O'laughlin, Trent and Ray
MANY MORE


No word from Williams , Amherst, TCCC, Nescac


I'm  new to NE  Div III scene  .

Many of these kids had Div II opportunities .
Is this considerd a typical recruiting year for NE  Div III  ?

This seems like a  lot of "new "talent  joining very good  regional  Div III teams

Comments , Please .

It appears that Coach Rowe and Endicott have had a signifigcant recruiting year from central Mass and Connecticutt

Is this typical for TCCC talent ?
Mc Lachlan  and Greene looked pretty good to me last year . Now these players !

The link states  both kids were "scholarship " level .
As a new fan in the arera How do the other schools 2011 recruits look ?

 Wheaton picks up a solid guard  see link

  Like Coppola ,Longwell is a Boston Herald all-star and 2x DCL all-star .

Any recruiting confirmations  or news in NESCAC  and / or NEWMAC

 

Good win for Bbason

They are improving
Babson wins without PG McDermott . Stats show he has only played 7 of 13 games .
Is Marcus injured any report on his return .

Tough loss .
Where is Mc Dermott if injured , when is he expected to return ?
Good player. I am sure  Babson misses him

WPI had a highly touted recruitung class 2010 .
The  curent roster shows only two are left . White  & Kolb  Any word on what happened to Nelson and Tsourganis to of New Hampshire's best  last year !!

 I  had some expecations for Babson this  year  with Pallazini of Franklin  HS + returnees .

They looked pretty good against ranked Brandeis .

BUT ......

I notice Mc Dermott hasn't played  the last two games .
  The team is in  Florida   
Any insights to share  ?

Speaking of size

It appears Bowdoin will have a7ft Center next year !!

I have seen this kid play . He is a late bloommer .  Coming on fast in development
I thought definite  DIV II ,posible Div I  . Who doesn't want a 7' guy even sitting on the bench ! .
He is a good kid . I wish him well

 KSC  has 1st Team All-LEC forward Derek D'Amours  listed on the roster .
Any  further info on the status of this very good player .

 You are correct ,

College ball is  different .

Many  kids have great stats and perform well in HS
pariculary in New Hampshire

  I must recalibrate my eye balls .

I was at Stonehill last weekend and no way could Nelson and /or Holjo match up defensively against these guys .
 
Thanks for the guidance 

BTW  La Rosa had a nice opening at Save Regina . He is another kid small but quite a shooter .
