How are everyones recruiting classes looking for this upcoming season?

Okay since this board is dead and we have some recruiting news, how about a little discussion?


U of S Recruits as of 06/08/07

PG-Zach Ashworth, 6-2, 186  Looks like a point who can score with 18.5 ppg as a senior at CB West  (think loftus, arnold, etc)

F-Ivan Bogovich   6-5, 205 Averaged 13.3 points and 13.1 rebounds per game, and had 28 in one game as a Senior.  Could bring some toughness to the Royals for next season.


Should be more to follow in the coming weeks.....

The coming weeks yield the rest of the class....

SG/F Luke Hawk  6'4 190. Averaged 23 a game as a senior, second all time leading scorer at his high school. Brother of current royal Paul Hawk.

PG Jonathan Bracken 6'0 175...from Jacksonville, Fl...averaged 8 points, 3.6 assits, 1.7 steals.

G RJ Wallace...6'2 180  averaged 16 pts , 4 assists.

C- Andrew Wynne 6'7 215 ...reserve from Mcquaid Jesuit. Average 4 and 4...

Big class this year.....plenty o'guards

Good thing Scranton is getting all of those recruits.  One of them might need to replace James Powell.  I'm not really sure how long it will take him to recover from his, ummm, injury.

Y'know, you heckle Scranton for a decade, nothing.  The moment they go to the Landmark Conference, a guy John-Bobbitts himself.  UNREAL.

All,
      A former CAC player on the best York College of Pennsylvania team of all-time, Padraic K. Lee #33, has created a websire to help develop an easier way for athletes, fans, coaches, and sponsors to connect off the feild.  This could be very beneficial for top rated college players also.  We plan to have a myriad of oversea's coaches and scouts as part of our network.  For all the D3 players, like myself, to have a network to communicate with oversea's coaches would be great.  I know that making the NBA would be to lofty of a goal.  This website could help those collegiate players of any sport be able to network effectively to continue their athletic career anywhere, or anytime.

45 days and counting till NCAA Official Tip Off.. CUA has new floor  this year..or at least new paint job ...wonder how the incoming frosh will measure up in the new conf ?? i understand a couple big men are coming in ..gonna be hard to replace  seniors from last season  but as in the past  Coach Howes seems to get the job done ...only time will will tell..

[Pat Coleman]

The floor was installed in the summer of 1992, I believe. It could use some resurfacing. Too many baseball clinics held on it, I think.

[cuabigdog]

Pat.. that's what i meant.. they strpped it down , replaced a few dead spots and a whole new paint job and look.. you can see it on the Athletics Webb Site .. sidelines and baseline are now black instead of red and a new cardinal at ceneter court.. and i heard word to that now baseball and foot ball can not practice on the wood court .. but we shall see ..

[muchacho]

Coach Howes has gotten the job done since he has taken over, but this will be the first year that he doesn't have Lonergan recruited players to rely on.
And he definitely relied on those guys last year. There are only 3 returners, assuming they all make it back, who averaged more than 10 minutes a game last season. His team will be very young as well as inexperienced. The couple of big men who are coming in better be strong contributors, because there isn't a whole lot coming back from last year's team.

Anyone with any preditions on how the first season of the new conference will go? Who will be the top teams, dark horses, and lower-level teams?

[bballfan112]

Also, will Powell be playing this year for Scranton?  Anyone know WHY he tried to do that to himself?

[CardinalRed]

I agree, Catholic should not be as good as the past few "howes" teams and not nearly as good as the "Lonergan" teams from the 90's and the teams up untill he departed. Lonergan was a brilliant recruiter. I have heard catholic has some good recruits this year. Very optimistic for this season though.


Go Cards!

Scranton's roster is up and Powell is not on it.

Since we are all coming together for the first time here in the Landmark, WHAT did Powell try to do to himself?

[ChicagoHopeNut]

As my name suggests I am not from the area but I am a big DIII basketball fan and was thinking it'd be nice to attend some games in the area.

I am attempting to figure out what conference Catholic U. is actually in. D3hoops lists them in the Capital Athletic Conference. Meanwhile, CUA's website lists the ODAC (just football I believe) and the Landmark Conference. However, there is also a link to the ECAC (Eastern College Athletic Conference). So I am thoroughly confused. Can anyone explain all of this to me? Is Landmark a new conference?
