MBB: Landmark Conference

[Coach C]

Well wrong conference there - not sure how I ended up here instead of CSAC, but hello to you all as well!!!

Welcome to the season everyone!

Sorry to have been away so long ... I was waiting for the first frost, which hit my town today, so here I am!

Cabrini is probably a bit high in the pre-season given the loss of a POY candidate (Lemons) and the ROY (Walton-Moss) as well as solid contributor to the team (Boyd).

Last year's team was built for the playoff run.  Once again, mid-year transfers may have some affect on the second half of the season. 

The real question mark for me is PG play. Lemons was such a special player at this level that his loss is the hardest to fill. 

Everyone enjoy!

Why aren't the POY and ROY with the team anymore or do we already know?

[gordonmann]

Cory Lemons (POY candidate and first team All-American) graduated and Aaron Walton Moss (Rookie of the Year) didn't return to the program.

I thought Lemons was just a junior?

No surprise on Moss. There were questions on the Cabrini board about him last year.

But Gordon "Manfred" Mann's Earthband said "he" chose not to return....

[gordonmann]

Yeah, to be clear on Moss, I don't know his story at all.  I spent some time last night trying to find something on Google (like signs that he transferred elsewhere).  I found nothing.  Maybe it wasn't his decision.  I didn't mean to imply I had special knowledge.

Though I am occasionally blinded by the light...

+1 to "bode a ya" for the Manfred Mann references - though the Mighty Quinn is my favorite.

Remember the tune Pictures of Match Men by Status Quo? Two members later joined Manfred Mann. Note all three songs sound alike...

As the season is ready to tip-off, please keep Goucher's Damon Brooks in your thoughts and prayers, if you so choose. He has been a fighter, but that doesn't mean it will be easy - despite the fact he says he is excited to see basketball being played once again.

Will do, most certainly...

When we released our preseason poll, an apparent relative of the Cabrini coach insisted that he was coming back at midseason, but I won't count on that until we see him in action.

A Pat Coleman sighting...
