When Danzig finally retires, looks like Ryan and Justin Klingman could now be logical replacements.

I thought this might be another player joining the Royals this fall, but he's a junior.  Maybe an early commit for next year?

I remember Jay Fried, a burly forward who played in the early 70s; this could be his grandson. In the archives there is a Justin Fried who played 1 year(2003-4) that I don't remember; he could be the father of Lleyton and Jay's son. Lleyton's high school(Central Dauphin) was a rival of my high school.

Way to make me feel old. I remember Justin Fried... bigger guy from what I remember..

Former Scranton Prep coach to Keystone...

[saratoga]

Thanks for confirming.
This had been the rumor since he stepped down at Prep.
He & Keystone's AD are neighbors & know each other well.
I'm sure he'll do a good job...the recruiting part is always the great separator.

Also hearing that the Prep job may be going to Tommy Dempsey, former men's coach at Binghamton.

When Danzig retires or moves on... we won't be short of candidates.

Rainy Friday night pondering other than JP was anyone else in the running to replace Bess?

[NJRoyal137]

Saw that Le Moyne is moving to the NEC...perhaps it makes sense for Scranton to jump up a level and join the NE10 hmmmmm

[saratoga]

I pray not...D-2 is a cess-pool of shady schools & serves no purpose for the Royals.
They are right where they belong.
I do not see Scranton wanting to enter the world of full & partial scholarships any time soon.

Also, in PA, not many private D2 schools.

Only thing worse than going D2 would be NAIA.

[NEPAFAN]

Gannon University is the only one that comes to mind. If the Royals and Lady Royals keep winning Landmark titles we may be asked to leave.

Men and Women's Lax both with conference titles and in NCAA action this weekend.

Erie also has Mercyhurst.  In the Philly Area has Holy Family, Chestnut Hill, Jefferson.  Used to have Usciences but that is now part of St. Joe's.  If Scranton went DII (which I agree would not be a good move), those three or some of the NYC area colleges would be the most natural rivals.

There are probably 10 others in 2 D2 conferences within 2 1/2 hrs of Scranton in DE, NJ, and NYC area. Many of my prospects have gone to these schools over the past decade.

I am just curious why anyone would ever think Scranton would even entertain D2. I feel D2 is always the confusing level of NCAA.
