The article mentions the judges having four commitments, but then only lists three of them, I wonder who the other is. While the combo forward may be the head of the class, he is also going to step into roughly the same position that will be filled by deluca and hollins. The Tilton guy might get a bit more playing time as a 2, moving olsen to the three spot where joe coppens has resided much of this season. As for the PG, unless he has big game, he may sit behind andre roberson for a few years, but nothing like another 1-2 punch of solid PGs to keep the team going.

Gregory Sager,

Since YOU are in the UAA site and seem to have SO much input how do you get your conference knowledge?

Magic 8-Ball. How else?

Have you been to any other gymnasiums outside of Chicago?

Let's see ... [takes off shoes and socks, starts counting on fingers and toes, winds up counting nose as well] I count twenty-one of 'em. Of course, I didn't visit them all in one year; this season marks my thirtieth anniversary of watching Division III basketball in multiple gyms over the course of a season.

Did you even play basketball in college or do you just post online all day and think your some sort of internet bball guru?

What Pat said.

Likely someone who doesn't subscribe to the particular "scouting service" that issued that "article".

[hoops]

I dont think you subscribe I think the website goes out to coaches and tries to get the best players out there accounted for. It could be just that the guy is not from the NE region which is why he isnt mentioned.

Anything is possible.  As the director of a tiny AAU program, I get requests from these types of scouting services on a fairly regular basis.  Just saying that the information "may" be tainted and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Sounds like someone is a little scared for next year....

Correct, like many have said Steve desires to return to Brandeis to continue his studies and his basketball. While he should qualify for a medical hardship waiver given the circumstances, he has not yet received this from the NCAA.

That being said if he gets the waiver (which he should sine he meets all criteria) then he will be back in the Judges uniform next season.

You're correct in that, as far as I know, he hasn't actually received the waiver yet.  That said, every time I speak with him, he makes it seem like a 100% certainty that he'll be back.

It is the 3rd starter that i am unsure about.

Kenny Small, baby!

[Pat Coleman]

Back up. Yay. 

[ILive4This]

Like I said Kenny is a def possibility in my eyes as the two, moving kevin to the 3, however he has had very limited minutes this season, so it will be interesting to see how that changes when he is able to practice/play with the team as normal for the whole summer/fall. Otherwise an improved and more confident christian yemga playing the position he strived at in HS should be quite affective.

Pat, as I excited I am that you're coming to the WU, I'm disappointed that you won't get to experience the truly awesome atmosphere we've seen this year at home games, particularly Friday night contests. Our student body is on break and though some will trickle in if we get to Saturday, it simply won't be the same. That said, hopefully you won't think less of our program and its support, as it really has improved ten fold over the last couple of years.

Im extremely excited to head to St Louis tomorrow.  We are taking a couple vans for students down the game and there are many more that will be heading down.  St Louis is a good 8.5 hour drive down there for us and we start break our spring break Friday, well today as well.  If the game wasn't during spring break there would be a lot larger crowd for BV there but it will still be the big fans and able goers there.  Hopefully, it will be a good hard fought battle.  Should be fun and hopefully a good night out on the town afterwards.  Good luck to all 4 teams in St Louis.

I wonder if any of the Wash U faithful will have returned from their spring break yet, since I believe it was this past week. While it may be a bit of an advantage to not have them there for opposing teams, for the fan (especially a neutral one) I would feel almost cheated without them there.

You must not have read the post below, before you made your post.

A bit last minute... but I will be at Ursinus to call the games there Friday night, including the Rochester game. Drop by and say hello... and I hope for those of you at home I can even stand up to the quality of J.C. DeLass.

[OxyFan21]

I am also wondering about the crowd tonight....

I went to Occidental for my undergrad, Wash U for grad...and grew up in Maryland having gone to summer camp at St. Mary's, so this should be an interesting night for me...

What's the info on tickets?  And if they will be hard to get...?
