No video for games this weekend's games at tiny Centre gym? Can the NCAA mandate they be able to do it so those of us that cannot make it to "beautiful" Danville could watch? Will they have audio?

Kballr, check Lammersk's post on the SCAC board. Centre will have video for the D3 tourney games Friday and Saturday nights.

Congratulations to the TU Pioneers for a fine season. That squad's a team any coach would be proud to have ... Verax, in particular, is a player!

I think there has been some big changes in the coaching ranks within the conference. Long time assistant coaches Joe Neuman(Hanover) and Toby Carrigan (Transy) have both left to take high school coaching positions in Indiana.

kyballr · October 07, 2009, 09:27:25 PM

Not sure about Neuman but loss of Carrigan to HS head coaching ranks in Indiana will be felt by Pioneers. Ky Cats Pause yearbook has Coach Lane saying this is "best recruiting class since moving back to D III". If he is correct, could be some more wins in the Beck Center the next few years.

At the least, we can say that TU's incoming crop of freshmen is the largest of the five teams who have posted their rosters to date:

	Freshmen	Xfers	Returning	Total
TU	14	-	16	30
FC	12	1 soph	9	22
DC	8	1 soph	11	20
BU	5	-	14	19
MC	2	-	12	14

TU's freshmen have some big shoes to fill with the departure of Cash, Jones, and Verax. Also notable: Franklin's returning 9 include 8 sophomores, 1 junior, no seniors.

(edited to format as a table, and to add transfer counts).

Always felt like Toby was a great assistant ... wonder if he'll be back in the college ranks in the future as a head coach ... think he'd be awesome.

I'd be surprise if Transy misses a beat though even without him ... Pioneers have been class of league. They'll be right there in the mix again this winter.

If Lane is saying this is his best recruiting class, that's not a good sign for the rest of the HCAC. Brian's had some really good ones.

Should be another exciting year in HCAC. Transy and Franklin lost some championship type seniors and Anderson lost some big-time players. Defiance has a lot back but watch out for Hanover in Miller's second year. Mitchell Meyer is a star and causes major problems in in the paint.

Practice gets started later this week and can't wait.

Hanover has often been one of the last teams to add freshmen to their roster, so at this point all we know is they are bringing back 9 players from last year--only Franklin (7 returnees) has a smaller group [~~tied (with Franklin) for the smallest group~~]. They lost two (Dane Coats and Dan O'Leary) to graduation and had two others not return (Brett Kies would have been a senior, Billy Pappas would have been a junior).

Franklin brought in 10 12 frosh and a transfer; it would seem that HC would be at a disadvantage if they don't have similar numbers ... although HC's roster size has been in the low teens for the past several years.

(edited to reflect a change in Franklin's posted roster.)
