Yes, that's what I've heard.

I've heard Rochester All-American Ryan Algier, a 6-10 F, recently tore an ACL.

WE ARE BACK!!!



Two years ago DIII was reeling with the news that fellow members of the MIAC had voted, in secret, to oust St. Thomas (Minn.) from the conference. It started a whirlwind of decisions and reactions on the UST campus and throughout the NCAA.

It also created a timeline: In two years time, UST would be leaving the MIAC and ultimately Division III. That meant watching two perennial basketball powers try and leave in style and on their terms. The Coronavirus Pandemic had other plans. Instead of celebrations, conference championships, and even national title chances... things have ended like a leaky ballon - just falling flat.

On the first Hoopsville podcast of the off-season, we chat with the two coaches who have kept their programs in the national conversation year in and year out and will now help them transition to Division I. Ruth Sinn and John Tauer join Dave McHugh to chat about the school and programs' history and love of Division III and how the change to DI will and will not change things.

It is a great conversation with two coaches who will be missed in DIII.

Plus, there are few things to note in the Hoopsville Notebook! Lots of coaching changes and a number of interesting twists with some of the searches. There are new rules that have been adopted for both sports. Plus what to expect from us, as a show, moving forward after taking some much need, and completely unintended, time off.

Any word on if Ellis and Kreeger are returning for Marietta?

Both are expected back.

My conversation with Mike Rejniak, GM and Head Coach of We Are D3.  The team is 2 days from its round 1 game of The Tournament in the Wichita regional - 6pm CT Friday on ESPN.

I really enjoyed the podcast.

I am looking forward to watching Ty Sabin after the Coach remarked about how far he has come.  How much farther could he go?

I may have missed it in conversation or maybe this was mentioned elsewhere, but the Nerd Team does have two Division III players that could have a major impact.  The players are John Di Bartomoleo from Rochester and the Willy Workman from Amherst.

Not as cool as a roster full of Division III players, but still great for the Division.

I finally read the D3Hoops story. There are a lot Division III basketball players in The Tournament including a third on that Nerd Team.  Lots of stories for fans to follow.

 Saw that Riley Hayes of Catholic is on the D3 team

Great podcast!

We've knocked on the door a few times in the past.  Hopefully this is the breakthrough year - it would be so special on a national telecast.  Coach Rejniak really got my jaw to drop when he confidently stated  "this game will come down to 1 possession."  That tells me he really likes this group.

As a Babson fan too I think what Coach Droney adds to the staff is considerable.  It's only a matter of time before he gets to be a HC somewhere.

I've just confirmed with Coach Don Friday of Penn-State Harrisburg that Brandon Coleman will be returning. He suffered a season-ending injury after two games in 2019. Coach Friday called him their second best player (after Donyae Baylor-Carroll; although he was likely focusing on scorers, because Dylan Daniels is one of the best rim protectors in D3) in their NCAA Tournament post-game presser after beating Hopkins. This solidifies PSUH as a Top 25 preseason team, in my opinion.

.................and to think that little Lancaster Bible College had PSU-Harrisburg dead to rights late in the NEAC Championship game. LBC returns 8 of their top 9 players and has two incoming freshmen studs and two impact (both possibly starters) transfers for the 2021-2022 season. Those LBC vs. PSU-Harrisburg games should be interesting, but I'll give the nod to PSU with the quality of what they have coming back and coming in.


PoppersMacsLive

Pretty wild, but I do think it is important to note that PSUH beat LB by 26 in both of their prior meetings.
