MBB: Liberty League

[shooters]

Whats up w/ coach Murphy retiring? I figured i would see plenty of posts in here regarding his departure from SUNY IT. What an odd time for a resignation, I am wondering if he didn't get the recruits he thought he might get and shut it down. Any thoughts?

I believe Coach Murphy took another job, maybe as a D-I assistant.

I do believe you are right!  Please read

I had a question about Karma points. I was wondering how I have a -1. I understand you have to be at a certain level to give them, but what are the criteria for getting them?

I checked out the Northeastern Web site and found an article about Murphy's hiring.

Here is the link: www.gonu.com/mbasketball/news/murphy091806.htm

Contrary to the TV Web site story, Murphy will not be a head coach, he is going to be an assistant for one of his former players, Bill Coen.

Coach Greg Snyder leaves Potsdam State to assist Anderson at Hamilton....Traitor? Yes....but great move for Snyder and Hamilton...I think he will be a great addition to his staff and maybe Hamilton will actually use its atheletes and get out and guard someone

Any of you guys excited for the season to start next month. I hope Hamilton makes it back to the Tournament this year. I heard they have about 3-4 new gaurds in their recruiting class this year and one of them might be able to start right off the bat. Also, in other news Rasmunas Rozgys who got caught up in the Hamilton recruiting scandal will be back. I think the loss of Welchons/Valenti/Peck won't be as noticable with the new returners and recruits. Well not as bad as the loss of Smith and Coach Murphy a couple years ago.

Anyone have any predictions for the season?

I predict Hamilton to come out of the Liberty League.  They still have a good core and some new good guys coming in.  Talent wise, they're usually the best, and i believe the league will still be weak along with the other upstate NY conf. (E8 & SUNYAC).  Hamilton will likely get out of the liberty league but still does not have the size to compete with the big boys.  Predictions for the East Region:  NYU, UoR, Fisher, Hamilton, and then whatever Suny team brings in good transfers.

I agree, I think Hamilton not only has some good recruits coming in it seems like the program is also attracting good asst. coaches as well. I predict a big year from the conts. and big things from TK and Jones. I've heard that one of their recruits is the real deal and can play right away.

I hear Union and RPI have some good young players and Hamilton I am sure has a new group of players.  SLU returns a lot of guys too...Anyone hear anything about how practices are going?  Any names for the incoming freshmen that are supposed to be good from some teams? 

It's almost November...games soon

What does anyone hear about Vassar this year?

[slickyquick]

the ucaa as like to call it will run through slu and hamilton again. slu has a great cast of players back from last year's team including a couple of all league players. hamilton will adjust to a couple of the losses which include all world welchons. i think slu might ruin hamilton's recent run. any reports on scrimmages or games?

[Hoaf]

SLU has no chance of bringing the Hamilton reign down. Blasphemous!!

Vassar only lost one senior.  They could be a sleeper this year.
