[tpm4286]

Newspaper sighting for incoming freshmen:
      Gazette Montgomery County, Md. Largest School Classification 4A
     Susquehanna  Jake Eskin guard 18.4 ppg Winston Churchill High School.....

Wonder why Goucher didn't go after this recruit...

Ronk,
How in the world did you find that?

TPM,
Maybe Goucher did recruit the kid.

It's in my local weekly newspaper, the same one that said last year that Nate Koenig was choosing Catholic. Plus one has to be interested in reading such stuff.
The note did say that the coach he'll play for next year was in attendance at this playoff game.
  Heard on Hoopsville that Lycoming had a different Baltimore-suburban player incoming next year.
  As to why Goucher "missed" out on them, I would offer that some D3 recruits are more accidental than hard recruiting like a family connection, a coaching connection, or a local alumnus on the lookout for such prospects.

Ronk,

I assumed you were in the Scranton area.

D3 kids, especially the good ones, are recruited harder than you might think.

Just because he didn't choose Goucher, or any other school, doesn't mean he wasn't recruited by them.

I agree, entirely with both your points; that's why I said some recruits are accidental and that "missed" includes recruited but not ultimately chosen.

Ronk: thanks for the update. Seems coach Frank is aware he is losing his 4 year starter at guard & went right out & found one. Then, to top it off, he even went to see him play. Impressive!
Runs a bit contrary to the Scranton doctrine which seems to allow the best players to graduate, wait 2 years, then recruit within a 12 mile radius of campus.
Can't wait for your first report on a kid from suburban DC about to wear the Purple now that Brendan Fuller has graduated.
Three outstanding players from the DC area that did pretty well at the UofS beside Brendan...Irv Johnson, brother Phil & Bryant Thornwell. Give this current group of Royals just one of those kids!
By the way...enjoy the Lady Royals tonight...bring them some luck.

Lady Royals +30 and I don't even know who they're playing.

A player saying he's going D-III in early March tells you quite a bit. For all I know the kid could have a great career but it usually means only a handful of D-III schools showed some interest.

Saratoga, you forgot the legendary Orie Glenn out of Owins Mills, Md. Former training site of the Baltimore Colts.

Unfortunately, Saratoga, my 1st report is a negative as I learned tonite that my suburban DC prospect will be going in a different direction(color?) than the Purple; but it's a fertile area and, with the Royals playing at least 2 Landmark games in the area every year now, maybe we'll find someone else in the future.

look at my squad!!! continuing to prove me right---WINNING a tournament game. first ever for a LC team if im not mistaken.

[Matt Letourneau]

According to the boxscore, attendance was 357.  Feel the excitement!

Your team?!

[cold_case]

Anyone want to guess which Landmark team lost at home in the ECAC South semifinals today?

[docmarc]

I would like to thank the NCAA for having the games at a small gym and remote area in kings point for the first and second round.  And when the ad of mm yelled at me and my friends tonight because we said you lose and this is not showing kids how to be adults, it worried me about our future wimpy marines. 

[Matt Letourneau]

From the front page...

Franklin and Marshall packed Merchant Marine's gym and came out of Long Island with a win, 73-64.

No way!

Docmarc, if your intention was to rile somebody up by talking trash about MM on this board, you're out of luck.  There hasn't been a MM siting on here since...well, ever.   None of us know if they even have fans.

They had a good year though--congrats to them for winning a tournament game putting up a pretty decent showing against a very good F&M team.

And yeah, uh, Catholic's season ended today too.  I was going to go into DC tomorrow for a game...now I'm not.

Let baseball commence.

Cold Case, why are so many people on this board obsessed with Catholic?  So they lost to Alvernia, who cares?  They have a lot of talent but they can't win big games, not to say an ECAC game is big.  How well did Scranton or SU do in the ECAC tournament?  Why does Catholic lose big games?  They play too many people.  No chemistry.  They played 12 players.  Every 30 seconds they were bringing in subs!  Expect the same next year.  Top four next year - SU, Scranton, USMM, Catholic.
