 Catholic adds D1 transfer from Loyola(MD) Keegan Douglas 5-7 PG (2025).

[Pat Coleman]

Is there a big difference in level between Loyola and Catholic or a general Top 40 D-III team?

[ronk]

 Not a "big", but some difference - the top 2 players on D3 top 20 teams(I wouldn't go as far as top 40) generally could play on Loyola; I'd say no difference at all for last season's Hope squad or the recent St. Thomas More teams or the recent back-to-back Amherst title winners.
  Didn't see Keegan Douglas play AAU because of the pandemic but I expect her to challenge for Landmark all-conference.

Yes.

And any further explanation or description of why would be lost on any person asking the aforementioned question.

Itsnot:
I think your search needs to continue a bit longer.
With over 20 years coaching experience on the D3 & D2 level, I've been around a few coaching changes within the department & I've worked for some of the best AD's in the business including the National AD of the year.
While contacting a coach at another school may not technically be against any NCAA rule, doing so without first contacting a schools AD is unethical & that's how I know the people I worked with would handle this situation.
Then again, that's just me...you be you.
Classic... 52 smites in just 89 posts is pretty impressive.

Happens all day, every day - and twice on Sundays.

As an avid golfer, -52 is an ode to athletic talent and skill!

(P.S. if I'm not going to ask someone for their advice, why would I put ANY value in their criticism?)

[Augie2020]

Nepafan-I saw the white smoke coming from that side of town only to be a false alarm!(Choo Choo Train).I was told from a couple sources it is very tight lip at the U.So my guess is they have Coach He or She will be named soon!.I'm just thinking is it Geno Auriemma taking over or how about Kim Mulkey,Tara VanDerveer or it might be one of the G.O.A.T at coaching Herbie MCGee (By the way a couple Lady Royals went to him for his shooting classes).So today it has been a month since Coach Dipillo Left and Assistant Coach Lewis left a day earlier,So it might be announced Tomorrow or next Friday!Big recruiting this week in Manheim,Pa also I think spooky nook was this week also.(Hopefully someone there  from the U recruiting )Good old friend from Cathoic Coach D is all over !!!

Augie2020, NEPAFan:

Check your personal messages.

Word on the street has it that the UofS has an agreement with their new women's basketball coach.
I'll defer to their SID to give the particulars.
I'll just say the new coach is from the Scranton area & has coached women's b-ball many years & in that time, has developed many kids into D-1, II, and D-III programs.

[Augie2020]

Great 8 year record speaks for itself 190 -32 until 2016!But transition from High School to college is big!
