It would certainly make sense.  As fanboy said, the tuition deal is nice.  Especially huge these days given the cost of college. 

I figure Nigro will end up somewhere like Walsh.  I have never seen Barrino play so I have no idea on him. 

JCU ends the season #12 in the final top 25.  No other OAC school received a vote.  I'm guessing between Etta and Mount it's been a minute since we've said that.

I assume Nigro will end up on a D2 scholarship somewhere.  Of course, if his need is great, perhaps a top notch D3 program could snag him by making his aid very similar to a D2 school.

How doe the tuition program work at Mount.  Are there other schools to which you can apply the free tuition or is it "Mount only"?  I know at JCU, you can go to any other Jesuit school (although the more selective ones - Georgetown, BC, Holy Cross) only have to take a kid if they have a staff member of their own sending someone to that school (a "trade" for lack of a better term).  I also thought that faculty members had even more options as part of some sort of consortium.

Generous.  We sure did not look like a top 12 team the last two weeks.

We will get some scheduling news for next season when the 2024 Great Lakes Invitational matchups and schedule is announced tonight at 8 PM ET: https://youtu.be/uMQvyLC98bw

John Carroll and Marietta will be joined in the eight-team field by Calvin (host) Emory, Hope, Johns Hopkins, Saint John's and UW-La Crosse.

Carroll will play Emory and Johns Hopkins and Etta will play Hope and UW-Lacrosse.

La Crosse and St. John's were scheduled to play each other, but I heard they were already supposed to play each other outside of the GLI, so the matchups will most likely change.

Nigro committed to Walsh.  With Malone kind of struggling in general Walsh has cornered the market in D2 locally in the area.  To be fair, in hoops Walsh has always owned the area though and rightfully so.

the younger Fuline also committed to play football at Youngstown St IIRC

Mount Union gets a commitment from Jamarr Talbert Jr., a 6-3 guard who was an All-Ohioan at Richmond Heights then played three seasons at Notre Dame College. He averaged 4.9 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game in 16.8 minutes per game. He started 28 of 30 games in 2022-23. He's a career .353 shooter from 3-point range (67 of 190).

Mount Union picked up commitments from Chance Casenhiser, PG from Lake and Kevin Moore, 6-5 wing transfer from San Diego City College

Casenhiser can fill it up.  I think he lead the county in scoring the last 2 years at 24-25 ppg.  He had to shoot a lot on those teams, but his % were still good.

both will be impact players right off the bat for Fuline, imo

Quick look at Casenhiser's stats playing in a good D1 HS league.  From looking at his Twitter timeline it looks like he had D2/JUCO offers. 

24.5 ppg
5.3 apg
4.5 rpg
50.4% FG
37.4% 3pt
83.3% FT

The thing I like about him is even at 6' and 160 lbs he scores a lot of points finishing through contact at the rim and with his mid range game.  He's not just a shooter he's a scorer.  Excited to see how it translates to the OAC next year.

if you check out Kevin Moore, I think you'll be equally impressed.  First team all-ohio in '22 from Campbell Memorial in the Youngstown area.  Went to the cesspool of Central State out of HS and then to San Diego City College (JC).  A 6-5 wing will be nice to add to Parker down low
