I haven't seen anything about Mount's recruiting other than the 3 kids I posted about earlier. 

I ran into a HS HC who is big in local AAU stuff Saturday and was asking him about Mount.  He said Fuline has always been a great recruiter but he feels like he's hitting it even harder now because he's armed with their recent success to sell now.  Unfortunately, he wasn't able to tell me if all the recruiting paid off which is what I was interested in!

Interesting thing checking the Otterbein schedule today. They are not playing home night games on Saturday this year. I wonder if that was pressure from the OAC, financial considerations , or new blood just trying to shake things up?

That's too bad.  That time of year the Saturday evening games are the only ones I can make.  I'm sure I'm in the vast minority though and the afternoon games are much more in tune with fans' preferences.

The interesting thing I noted about Mount's schedule was that they have three road trips.  They open at the Rose City Tip Off Classic in NJ, they travel to IL to play NCC and Chicago @ NCC and they're going to FL right after Xmas for a couple games.

I enjoyed the evening games as it gave me a chance to watch two games on many Saturdays. Either starting at Cap, ODU, Denison or OWU and then a finish at Otterbein.

Sometimes I wonder if it is karma since I am so interested in it and start looking for it mid-summer.  This is a way for me to learn patience and how to deal with frustration. That said, Wilmington is posted:

I was seeing the problem, you were seeing the solution.  I never thought to simply ask for the schedule.  I would have thought they would have wanted to post it as soon as it was ready.  Thanks, hopefan.

Looking at John Carroll's schedule, it does not appear to be at quality level of the schedules in the 2009-2011 seasons but it is a respectable one, I guess. 

The opening tournament includes two teams at or just below .500 in Transylvania (though Tranny has had some success in the past 5 years) and Bridgewater as well as the host St Mary's College which is coming off a 20-5 season in 2014-2015 with a fairly recent trip to the Elite Eight (2012-2013).  The second tournament takes them to Kentucky to play Birmingham Southern (16-11 last year) and Rust College. I would have preferred to play host Thomas More in this one but it is what it is. 

The road trip to LaRoche, who is coming off a one win season, is a little baffling for a Blue Streak team that I think is going to be pretty good.   Based on the fact that we do not have one 2015 NCAA tournament team on the non-conference schedule, I would have thought (and, in fairness, maybe they tried) a more formidable opponent would have been sought for this one-off.   The flips side is that the OAC sent three teams to the tournament last season and it will be plenty rugged but that just does seem to be JCU's basketball scheduling philosophy. 

Over the holiday break, they head to the Land of Magic tournament in Daytona.  Mount will down there so maybe the teams can spend a little time together and throw back some beers as they ready for their OAC battles on January 16 and February 17.  Bridgewater State, not to be confused with Bridgewater College, was 18-8 last season and an NCAA qualifier in 2013-2014, and SUNY-Brockport also posted a winning season last year (15-12) and was an NCAA qualifier in 2013-2014. I am glad that they are heading to Florida for a tournament as it has been a long time since they took the boys to a(hopefully) good weather site over the holidays.
