Hey coach!  Do you always try to recruit people with senses of humor?  Makes sense to me....

Yeah, only short guys have a sense of humor.  That's why our roster looks the way it does.  Big guys are just no fun.

Seriously, as a coach if you can't keep a sense of humor about your situation, it can lead to some bad ulcers.

Another Maryville guard.  Seems that the Scots are having a lean year for recruits that RDL thinks can help any time soon.

The Scots don't have many holes to fill.Wish I could say the same about The Lions.

I agree that the Scots do not have many holes to fill.  But one big one is that created by losing Greg Hernandez.  Maverick Willett is pretty much "it" for experienced post players, especially ones with enough size to take up and create space and an inside threat.

Like every other D3 fan (except at Guilford), I was hoping for a couple of Big People recruits who could help out soon.  I am pretty sure Coach Lambert would welcome such a thing even more than I would!

This is a tough time for recruiting.  It costs a lot of money to go to Maryville, even with significant financial aid, and Big People are scarce enough without them also having to come from financial situations that can help them turn down scholarships from the NAIA/DII world.

Well, I agree to a point. One might say that with Hernandez, He is why you don't have more experience at the post.That's the "nature of the beast" so to speak.You do have Willett and that's not too shabby.You also have a couple of big guys on the roster.So,I don't think anyone will cry many tears for The Scots if they don't score a "big time" post.

Hey, Guilford still wants more Big People!  We lost Tyler Sanborn to graduation and, even though we have two more in the wings, you're always reloading!  Any 6'10" guys out there who want to go to the Final Four?  :)  We're going to break through the semifinals and win this thing sooner or later!

All kidding aside, I saw Maryville play twice this year - both times on Guilford's court - once against the Quakers and once in the NCAAs.  Against truly top-flight teams, the Scots were undermanned inside.  I hope MC can get a good-quality big man for the 2010-11 season.  It's not essential to be a top DIII program, but it certainly gives you a "big" advantage.

From a blog by NAIA guru Jason Dannelly,

Quote...

The changing of conferences and divisions has created a ripple effect in the NAIA. Virginia-Wise joining the Mid South reduced the number of members of the Appalachian Athletic Conference for the upcoming year. Covenant also appears to be leaving the AAC for NCAA DIII and King College will be moving to NCAA DII. Montreat College is unsure of what its future in the conference might be. The school located in Montreat, N.C. is a school stuck between a rock and a hard place as they try to determine what is best for their institution overall. The school recently announced they will move away from awarding athletic scholarships and are contemplating a move to NCAA DIII. The potential moves in the conference could take the AAC from ten this last season to six in the near future.
...

Distances from Montreat to ...

Three miles off I-40 and 15 miles from Asheville NC, they are between the GSAC and the USA South.

We can look for their name on the exploratory list this summer.

Has anyone in the GSAC heard anything about Montreat exploring D-III?

I think that Atlanta Christian and Montreat would make great additions. Let's see if their names are on the list of exploratory teams when the NCAA releases the names later in the summer.

Please!  Don't get your hopes up!  I know nothing.  This is just an educated guess.  I would love for the GSAC men to earn the AQ.

MC might want to look into finding another point guard...

I'm not sure if Montreat currently fields enough sports for DIII membership, but they might.  Their gym is really, really tiny, but they're certainly in the geographic footprint for the GSAC.  It's a quaint little campus tucked in the hills a few miles east of Asheville, NC, just a few miles off I-40.
