MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

[mattgrubb]

Arsenio has transferred to maryville and will be in the mix for time at the PG position.  Damron quit, but it might just be a tactic so he doesnt have to go through off season workouts.

Mississippi needs to go back to D2, last time they were there they had unlimited football scholarships.

Who wants to go to New orleans for any reason, much less regularly scheduled trips.  The place is a dump or better yet a sewer.

No word on Bo mason yet, but i have connections in Rome and i will know soon

the grubby one is still around, just been waiting on some good stuff on this board

NEW ORLEANS, LA, one of the BEST cities in the US - diverse & TOTALLY Cool!

[mattgrubb]

have you ever been anywhere else???

[kate]

Howdy, Matt - how about across the US three times, one of those to Alaska - all by car.  Not to mention countless trips north & south, & i still say, we had the time of our lives in the BIG EASY!

[Spencer Beaty]

New Orleans is pretty dirty and incredibly hot!  I could not spend a prolonged period of time there without dying.

[kate]

Try Amarillo, TX  !  New Orleans has culture plus diversity plus great music - i could go on, but you guys seem determined to not like the place (oh, forgot to mention terrific food)!

I am with Kate, but I do not think I could live there for long.  Spencer and Mr. Grubb seem to know more about basketball than about food and music.

Amarillo?  On historic Route 66?

How about the Free 72 oz steak,  the Cadillac Ranch,  Palo Duro Canyon and the summer musical "Texas"!

There ya go!  Big sizzle, big Caddy art and a big ol' hole in the ground, all served up Texas style ... what's not to like!

the grubby one knows all, you people
N.O. is good for 8 blocks and thats it, the spraying of bullets 1 block from the last mardi gras says it all.  The Grubby One has been around the world and back, check the passport and N.O. is a big sewer.  Check yo facts, 50% of their police force hangs out in the 8 blocks of the french quarter.  Were they successful in making it a "chocolate city" as the mayor wanted to??? Bring it wilburt, b/c the grubby one is a card carrying registered native american and went to maryville college on a minority scholarship.  My sister goes to lsu N.O. right now and i refuse to visit her b/c it is a dump.  I will pick up my Zatarains at the local grocery store and skip the smell of fresh sewage.

off that rant, i spoke to my buddy today who is very sad as he graduated from N.O. in 1999 after 4 years of Baseball.  he said they had a 2 mil dollar budget deficit for athletics and they did not solicit their alumni base for donations very well.  he does pretty well and said he would have donated something had they asked.  he said it was mostly a commuter college and most of the students did not pay attention to the athletics.  he said he was concerned about their travel requirements as a D3 school but was excited as they would have some of the better facilities in all of D3.

Btw, the grubby one has gone global

Good morning Matt!  Coming to you this am from Lenni Lenape  land here in Easton, PA.  Without even looking, Maryville is in Tennessee, right?  You probably won't believe this, but i've always been attracted to your school.  This darn economic downturn is prohibiting schools like our beloved Delaware Valley College from playing schools that are so far away, but hopefully things start to look up very soon.  In the meantime, sites like D3 Hoops keep us all connected.  Maybe being in D3 will "help"  the popularity of the New Orleans colleges, too  .  Keeps everyone on their toes

Scots land another guard.  Coach says the things he says when he thinks the recruit can help.

I do not remember another player from the Charlotte area.  Anybody know the connection?

I think Butler is 4A, which is the NCHSAA's highest classification.  If he's played well in the Charlotte metro area, then it bodes well for his continued success as a Scot.

[scottiedoug]

Among other things, he has played the point.  A 6'4" point guard who is any good at it could be interesting in D3.

Huntingdon adding a little height with the incoming class of 11 newcomers. A 6-9 and a 6-7. Should be interesting to see how they pan out.
