MBB: USA South Conference

[cnufella1]

 
Congrats to CNU....Men's Basketball Wins Top Shot-Blocking Award For Second Straight Year...be interesting to see if any of there top shot blockers are back next year....rumor has it they may not.   However, will be strong at the 1,2, and 3....hope CJ found a couple of hard nosed rebounders this summer!   Hate to think it could be any worse than last year!

Riley and Lewis were both seniors...  so that only leaves one person...

And I've heard him say nothing about not returning.
Got your essage CNU85--

[roundbll]

"message" that is...

[cnufella1]

Well we'll see who is on the court when the season starts.... 

[CNU85]

too bad Captj isn't around. We need him on the court to "bounce one in"

ok - here is some scoop on the monarch class - nobody is an absolute done deal until they report in august, but all of these guys are pretty firm...

the monarchs will add some serious size, and 2 of them come via the transfer route - one is a 6'10" former d1 player who was transplanted to fayetteville after katrina, another is a 6'10" frosh who could be a lot like arthur hatch, but with more offensive polish, the other is a 6'8" d3 transfer from eastern nc (mu recruited him as a hs player, but he went out of state as a frosh) who should add depth this year and is very bright

there is a guard who the monarchs are still chasing...he has given a verbal, but he's probably the biggest ?? as far as enrolling - he's a legit scorer (2nd leading scorer in the state as a senior in hs), but he's smallish...he was a d1 walk-on last year (ended up on the practice squad, so he didn't use any eligibility)...has he realized that the d1 dream won't come true???...i hope so - there are a couple of wings that are very athletic and talented, including one who is from fayetteville and transferring from mount olive...he couldn't crack the lineup at a top 10 d2 school, but he could make an impact for the monarchs - in all, it's a very large class...there will be lots of competition, and the jv squad should have some talent...maybe even enough talent to have guys that actually get in the rotation down the road...competition is a good thing

wow...3 transfers...mu must be turning into gc

even though he's not a "recruit", mcbryde will be back (hopefully for the entire year) - he clearly has the talent to be a real force in this conference...will he work hard enough to reach that full potential and keep himself in school???

Excellent info Narch, wish I was that tapped in!  So when Methodist and Shenandoah meet in the conference tourney final...   it will be at Madison Square Garden - right PSBBG

Hey SU, you said they need a shooting guard or twelve. What about Steven Johns? I know he was hurt last year but was he not getting it done before?

Well a game between Methodist and Shenandoah in Madison Square Garden would be a better game then what the Knicks are thowing around up there.

Besides the Madison Square Garden game is a semi-final game,  the final will be played at the Staples Center.

Narch-
I don't have a problem with transfers, especially if they are coming from a junior college.  I think just about any college athlete wants to go somewhere where the athlete can win. I think that case is true with any freshman enrolling into college.  If a team has been horrible for years, then the school doesn't look as good to the potential freshman athlete.
The school looks much better for the athlete that wants to play, in some cases those are your transfers. I think the only complaint about transfers should arise when the team was already good in the first place.

here's how i "emote" on this issue. if a transfer comes to cnu and is good, then i like it - it is how it is supposed to be. if a good transfer goes to another school, then i tink it's wrong and shouldn't be allowed. sounds dumb, but those are typically my first reactions/feelings when i hear about a good transfer!

at least it's honest

[narch]

i don't have a problem with a transfer (or two or three if they're at mu )...it just seems that making transfer students the recruiting FOCUS year-in and year-out is counter to the d3 philosophy...and i DEFINATELY have a problem recruiting a kid who has just one semester of eligibility left (unless he's at mu, of course )

[pride1fan]

so

[narch]

so

or is it sew? or sow?

you should really be more precise with your posts...i'm very confused

[VirginiaSlim22]

You guys gotta chill with the transfer thing.  As long as the best product is on the court then you should be happy.  So what if Johnny Local gets his spot taken.  Johnny Local should hit the gym harder and compete for his spot.  There are a million reasons why guys.
