MBB: Landmark Conference

Wasn't trying to be that harsh. I was unaware the posting policy was that of North Korea's. I will leave CUA alone (until we play them) and Goucher as well. Sticking to my observations about the SU team and their opponents on games i see going forward.

Happy Holidays to the whole league and more importantly, the posters who make it even more enjoyable.

Thanks for the fair warning. Go Crusaders!4

On a more serious note, I think SU has a real shot this year (again) with a nice mix of young talent and veterans who have been there.

Keeping on the positive tip, I think USMMA will be very very hard to beat.

What a concept!

Check out the Terms of Service if you're confused, however. That's the thing you were told to review when you registered.

This just in................Scranton just committed another turnover........................

Back to back titles at the bottom of your posts NEPA...

How bout a vote of confidence for the Royals. All they do is win conference championships...

Not enough has been made of this in my opinion. Scranton has done an amazing job over the past few years.

Despite my negativity towards other programs (deserved in my opinion), the Royals receive the positives when deserved.

Thank You.

Bringing some life to the board, venom towards Catholic and praise for the Royals...you're okay susiddad.

G-d forbid we are all not positive about everything like Tiger Woods. At least it prepares us for the day when the Landmark scandal erupts. Otherwise, we could be like Tiger.

Can we get an all-time All Landmark team discussion going.

susiddad - WAY too early to talk about All-Landmark... there have only been ten or less games... there isn't enough to compare, especially since there has been ONE conference game!!! I am sure there will be more to discuss and more info to digest come mid-January.

As for Goucher... I am not that jaded when it comes to the team, but they do have some talent in their Freshmens and Sophomores. Trae Lindsey is going to be a tough post player to stop in the future (and maybe later this season), especially if he can add just a little bit more muscle (he isn't small, just needs a bit more tone); it has been a long time since I have seen a player at Goucher who could dunk with very little effort.
Kyle Gladden seems to have solved his off-court problems and come back to resurrect a game that showed good signs two years ago.
Dorian Green is going to be a very good point guard and solid defender. He is small, but very strong and knows how to slash to the rim and harrass on defense (sometimes it seems he is the only one playing defense) - good to see.
Shane Yambor has shown signs of being able to take over games inside... couple him with Gladden and/or Lindsey and you could have a dangerous front court for the next few seasons.
And Steve Musenga certainly has the same abilities as Yambor.

The problem... playing time is inconsistent so I can't get a read on a "bad" game or just not time to figure it out.

Again... not this year... but in years down the road this could be a very good team if they can keep the unit together and they figure out how to play with one another... time will tell.

I hear you D-Mac...

I was talking all time all landmark team btw.

Sorry susiddad - apparently my sinus cold is keeping me from reading or typing well (another forum for that comment).... good question, then.

TheGrove · December 16, 2009, 05:42:05 PM

Hey sussiddad - put that pro-SU energy to good use and go vote for Steve Briggs a few times. Tell your friends. http://www.coachoftheyear.com/

susiddad · December 16, 2009, 06:55:51 PM

SU football had an amazing year. Briggs brings it everyday. The results speak for themselves.

My energy lies with hoops though.

Looking forward to Puerto Rico! And a few more wins. Anyone know who has the best overall record in Landmark play in and out fo conference since inception?

Everyone in the league should be over .500 if the conference wants respect and national attention.

I echo Matts thoughts on Goucher situation

Grove-never got a chance to say it, but i was a lil skeptical of SU's chances this season when Ferko left. . . luckily for u Frank made a great hire and brought in my boy TJ Jordan to continue my ties to the SU coaching staff

susiddad · December 16, 2009, 10:34:39 PM

Ferko is a legend on the SU campus. An absolute legend.

What is this, six degrees of Brian Cannon??

We were all a little worried when Matt Blue left... er, yeah, I mean when Ferko left. We would never have gotten anywhere in the past two seasons without him, no sir.

(just teasing, Ferk, if you read this...)
