Can anyone tell me where Jason Boone has landed after graduation?

Evidently, in Germany.

So I am shocked it has not been brought up yet...perhaps Allen is busy with the soccer, vball and xc seasons, but 3 UAA schools are ranked in the sporting news preseason poll. Wash U #1, Brandeis #6, Rochester #9. Perhaps their may be some embelishment here with some of the rankings, but it still shows how strong the UAA is this year. I would not be surprised if there are 2 teams in the final four, not unlike the women last year.

ILive--

What is the story on Deluca?  Someone on the NESCAC board claimed he is injured and will miss the first semester.

Any other Brandeis news to report?

Honestly I do not know the details, nor is it my place to share, but my understanding is that he will be ready come tip-off of the tip-off tournament

CWRU has posted this season's roster, as have most UAA teams.  Following on the success of football's recruiting CWRU has 12 recruits joining 11 veterans.  Their homes span from Florida to Idaho  Eleven are freshmen and the other a transfer from Wooster.  Seven were All State or All District selections.  Spartans could be a mystery team that might surprise.  But then they've got a long way to go.

a 23 man roster?

[pabegg]

Well, WashU shows 22. Six of them are freshmen, 2 are sophomores who didn't play varsity, and 14 are returnees with some varsity experience.

20 players had minutes for WashU last year.

I think that might be my one complaint about d3, is the no cap to the roster. I mean division one program are capped at 12, there are obviously other players recruited (non-scholarship) and walk on who are practice players and may earn a spot later, but only 12, the same 12 can ever play. 20+ is just outrageous to bring to a game, or to be able to mix and match which 15 you bring each weekend, is a bit unfair to the smaller schools that do not have even 12-15 players.

That being said, perhaps this is why the idea of div 4/div 3AA is being taken more and more serious by the ncaa legislators.

See discussion of roster limits in General Football.

Are you sure the DI limit you describe isn't the scholarship limit not roster limit?

I notice Kentucky lists an 18 man roster.

I suspect four or five of those CWRU players won't be there by tip-off.

Yeah, you are definitely mistaken about roster limits in Division I.

Some conferences in Division III mandate a limit for all games. Some mandate a limit for conference games. Some mandate the number than can travel. I think those things are appropriate to handle on a conference level and not nationally. There's no need for a national basketball roster limit.

Does anyone know why Matthew Wilson is not on NYU's roster this year?

[ILive4This]

i sit corrected, it is a scholarship limit, not a roster cap

[dblock]

Does anyone know why Matthew Wilson is not on NYU's roster this year?

Matthew is now playing at American University

Thanks for the response.

WashU plays Illinois Wesleyan Dec 8 but do you think we can get through a postseason without meeting a Wesleyan team?  They seem to be a jinx. 

Anybody know how Danny O'Boyle's recovery went?

Who's the best freshman?
