MBB: Landmark Conference

[NEPAFAN]

  I talked with Coach Danzig at the Goucher game about his son and he said it was interesting being on the other end of the recruiting scenario from his usual position of the pursuer, but he didn't say what schools were being considered.
  It'll be interesting to see how he does in the state playoffs against a different level of competition.

You just can't answer the question, could you?

Can you?

[cold_case]

Sure I could and when or if I do, I won't play the CIA nonsense either.

"From his usual position of the pursuer"...must be reliving his Bucknell days!

Ouch. I imagine he has been trying to sell his kid on the U.


CC you like family guy or something?

Huge recruiting coup for Catholic:

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/recruitinginsider/2010/03/billy_donovan_set_to_join_cath.html

6'1 guard Billy Donovan (yep, that Billy Donovan) out of Gainesville, Florida.

Certainly says something about the CUA program.

Here's a story from the FL end:

I love this quote from Coach Donovan:

"It's a great school," Donovan said. "Their coach, Steve Howes, came down to watch him play last season. He's a great guy."

Howes cannot comment on prospective recruits until they enroll in school.
   Presumably, announcing and describing the recruits is not considered commenting because in the past recruits have frequently been disclosed before fall enrollment.

Similarly,I remember that Martelli's (St Joes) kid was at Scranton for a year or two and played on the team.

Interesting that Donavan describes Catholic as running a Division 1 type program. Catholic seems to be like the Redskins, they make noise in the offseason and don't do anything when they actually play the games!

Chris Ford's kid played at Drew. I guess that said something about their program?

Can I be mean for a second?  (C'mon, I'm never mean...)

Chris Ford career coaching record:  323-376
Billy Donovan career coaching record: 345-146

Why as a matter fact, yes, yes it does say something about the respective programs.  (Cough cough.)

Ford coached NBA, Billy D. is college.
Were you really trying to be mean? You're not a priest, are you??

Well, more like snarky.

As a Celtics fan I'm well aware of Chris Ford's career...

No, I'm not a priest, unless the Catholic Church has dramatically changed the rules of marriage and children.

The NBA? What is that?

I think this is nice PR for Catholic, coupled with playing Notre Dame to start of their season. Good for them and the Landmark Conference. However, you don't know what you have in Donovan , it isn't like he has some super college coaching genes. Like everyone else that comes to school in the fall we shall see.

The Priesthood might have been your true calling...because  I don't know what that was, but it wasn't mean or snarky!


BTW, our F&M friends have redirected their fire towards DMAC and his F&M bias over on the Centinnel board...
