Is that because there is going to be a retirement announcement?

With that response, you've passed the senility checkup requirement.

The code breakers were up all night, searching all corners of social media. Nothing Substantial to Report.

I checked the ones that it seemed like Scranton was actively recruiting as well as some who were trying to get recruited, but I, too, came up empty.

Think this team has more problems then putting up( its great day to be a Royal!)Sitting at 4-5 could have easily been 3-6 after that F&M game.I understand trying to find out about recruits coming in next year is okay but having a sub 500 team is not fun at all!Martin needs to figure out this is not Misericordia!Like (Gordan Mann said about the Scranton fans)said there fans expect a National title every year(Well on the guys side 21 years of one and done runs(Ncaa tournament) are no longer welcomed!Time to write the ship Martin

Good work Ronk. Another tweet yesterday indicating another commit.

I heard it might be the fourth long lost Danzig brother.

speaking of D1 ball...

Each division shall determine whether to allow an institution to classify a sport in a division other than the division in which it holds membership and the division shall determine the process for reclassification, and the privileges, conditions and obligations of multi-division classification.

Maybe our Royals could become an affiliate member of the NEC or MAAC

I'd rather see the Royals stay D3 & in the Landmark as opposed to ever going D1 & being stuck in either of those dead end conferences.
The ACC or nothing!

D3 makes the rules about having teams in other divisions and there's no chance they're going to allow it.  The D1 teams that exist were all grandfathered in.  Nobody else is going to get a chance to do it.  It's all or nothing.

 Latest pool C data has the Royals with the highest strength of schedule(SOS) ranking in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic areas(regions 1-5); their 5 losses are to teams with 2 losses(Catholic,Eastern), 1 loss(Swarthmore,PSU-HBG), and undefeated DeSales. It should decline with the remaining nonconference opponents(Cabrini,Kings,Cortland).

[NEPAFAN]

Gameday! 2pm at the Long Center, kids are all home after finals and it is in the middle of the day, what better time for a game! 

Cabrini makes the trip up for an afternoon matinee...at lease everyone will be socially distanced

[NEPAFAN]

Congrats to Ryan on the coaching win today. Don't believe it is his first as head coach, I think last year or the year before he stepped in for Carl.
