Ryan Jann has been playing very well. Colby is figuring out how to play and win without Hudnut.

Historical footnote (my stock-in-trade): Hart to GWU reminds me some of the move up of Vermonter (Rutland) Jimmy McCaffrey, years ago, from D2 St Michael's to D1 Holy Cross. Not as big a jump to be sure, but nonetheless, a gamble. He was lights-out at Holy Cross . . . because he could shoot the ball.
McCaffrey was drafted in the 6th round of the NBA draft in 1986; averaged 22.2 ppg; scored 46 against Iona, and had 15 assists; scored 1178 points in two seasons. I believe he applied to Middlebury. I watched him play in a state tournament game with Midd coach Russ Reilly: when he scored 60 points in a tourney game his senior year, Middlebury became an afterthought. St. Mike's was very strong then, the equal of UVM competitively. He was a phenom.
As they say, Hart has a shooter's chance.
Yes. Jimmy could no doubt shoot it. What made him special though, was his athleticism and deceptive quickness. He jumped very well and if he turned the corner on you it was a dunk. I had the pleasure of working with him on the "summer camp circuit" when we were both freshman. He also made a great commercial with Larry Bird.
