MBB: Skyline Conference

[BubbaChuck3]

 Interesting. So purchase is just recruiting a whole new team. An entire roster basically is transferring in, are they? And what will happen with the players who are already on the team and committed to the program? I find it very hard to believe that Purchase is going to have 12 new players next year. While whether or not they rise to the top of the Skyline means nothing to me, I simply cannot fathom why so many young men would up and transfer to Purchase out of the blue, and if such a united transfer were to occur, I highly doubt Purchase would be the destination of choice. And if it were to occur, if all these young men are transferring, I highly doubt they're all of Harvard intelligence.
So NYBB, I call your bluff. I say that of the 12 potential transfers you speak of, half of them won't ever reach the school. And of the others, 3 of them won't be academically eligible until 2020.
Lets see how it plays out.

you never know... maybe they have some "friends of the program" up there...

 NYBB: You think that Purchase's turnaround this year will be more drastic than that of Brooklyn College's this past season? I believe they went from 10-14 and no playoff berth in 2006-2007 to 21-7, a tie for 1st place in the conference and semifinalists of the ECAC' in 2007-2008, an impressive turnaround. And I do not think that there was a story put out about them.

If you're talking unlikely one-year turnarounds, it's tough to beat Hunter's improvement from 1997 to 1998. In '97 the Hawks were 9-17. In '98 they went 28-2 and went to the Elite Eight.

[NYBB]

single reason for hunter's turnaround : Coach Mike Brown bringing in the most outstanding players EVER and the fact that he was/is an amazing coach.

[Rhodes Scholar]

Speaking of Mike Brown, is he coaching anywhere? I haven't heard anything about him since he left John Jay about threee years ago.

[NYBB]

i don't know where he is but he was a friend of my family's since i was a child and i wish i could get in touch with him.

Yes the 2008-2009 season is almost here. Who are the teams to look out for?

[Raptormania!]

Presumably if you are asking this question, you have failed to notice the meteoric rise of Bard College to Skyline Conference power. Remind me never to hire you to supervise the Manhattan Project testing. You'd probably say, "What mushroom cloud?"

Bard is the favorite. The season is an elaborate kabuki dance to verify that fact.

[daman2010]

Well thank you, but no thank you. Brad College will not have a answer for Farmingdale State. Please ask me why and who?

Yeah, fans from as far away as Texas lurk this board in "rapt" anticipation his every word!

Ok well the person that will run thru the Skyline is MIKE{Wayne}CAMPBELL.  He is a D1 JUCO transfer from Globe Inst.{R.I.P} this kid had at less 5 D1 scholarship offers and turned them down just because he wants to get out the city. If you want to see his stats just look up his name at NJCAA.org

[Rhodes Scholar]

Are you saying that Campbell will be playing for Farmingdale this year? I never saw him play but he did put up some good numbers.

Also, do you know what happened to Ken Wilcox? He used to be the AD and men's basketball coach at Globe, and now he's no longer there.

Well, sure. Anyone can put up great numbers when not facing the Bard Raptors. I wish "Wayne" Campbell luck in his sequel- after all, Wayne's World 2 was a flop.

Had Globe Institute faced Bard College, they'd have changed their name to The Flat Earth Society.
