MBB: Conference of New England

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

I'm not sure if that is a question or not.

There were quite a few credible, but unverified rumors going around that Gordon had petitioned to be in the NEWMAC and the vote was going on this summer.  It makes a lot of sense, at least from my perspective, for GC to go in that direction.

I was just wondering 1) if it's true and 2) what the status was.  However, I understand that we're probably not going to get early confirmation of such from the AD, as that would probably look poorly on him.  That's all I was saying.

Gordon just had their last recruit confirm (like a month or two ago i think).  A guard from Kansas, supposely could have played small D1.  Sorry I can't remember the kids name.  I've been talking to a few of the players on the team and they think they can be a top 25 team this year with the returning class plus their incoming recruits.  This year's class sounds like it could be very special but as we all know how good recruits actually turn out is anyone's guess.  But If they turn out like the past couple of classes (kaufman, herr, marstaller) there's no reason for Gordon not to break into the rankings. 

Any news about other schools recruiting classes?

Top 25 for Gondon might be a reach, but Top 50 is certainly a possibility

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

They might recieve some votes from the NE region voters, but they'd probably have to go on an extended winning streak and start the year 12-0 before they break the top 25.  If they play well the whole year, they may come close near the end.

has gordon improved the quality of their schedule from last year???

[backboard]

No they haven't.  Some can argue it's easier than last year's with the addition of Mt. Ida and taking off MIT.  But Salem State and Husson are pretty good teams, so it's about 50/50

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

They've done about the same.  I reviewed all of the schedules that are out so far earlier on this board, if you really want to know my thoughts.

so i see alot of talk about gordon but what about the rest of the teams in the CCC how are they looking.....i think endicott and curry will be very strong this year

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

EC's got a lot of question marks and CC always has question marks until the final roster is announced.  You never know who will be coming back there.  Both teams will be solid.  CSC is another question, who knows how they will reload.  Things will get interesting as classes start up again and we begin to get the rumors about how guys look in pick-up games.

Any more news on the incoming class?

Any more news on the incoming class?

Whose?

[akirk]

Any team!

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

It's probably early until classes start.

  have heard that csc may be good this year.a young man named andrew tracy (i think) is going to go there and he can become very good under that system.they also have got one or two other decent players..
  to hoops fan..just wanted to let you know that andrew is going to england to play basketball....

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Good for him.  A few years in Europe playing ball is probably one of the greatest opportunities out there.  Which team did he sign with?
