I wonder how happy a strictly interior big like him would be in Howard's offense. Obviously you need atleast one, but I'm not sure one with scoring ambition makes sense. What is Howard's offense?

I'd be curious to know how much being able to play in front of family/fans (or not) is playing a factor this year in kids seeking to transfer. I'm sure there's an assumption of more fans in the stands next winter, though I don't actually expect winter '21-'22 to be much different if the variants take over and reduce the impact of the existing vaccines. Even just from a pure schooling standpoint, I cannot imagine being a college-age kid right now and what the world looks like to them.

I’d have a bit more hope if there wasn’t such a disparity with our stipend vs the P5 & BE I thought the stipend was the “cost of attendance” Is that not the case anymore? The issue with cost of attendance is really a private school vs public school thing... Explorerman: Not an expert on the subject, but am referring to information posted over time by phillyhoops4life (Delgreco Wilson). If you go back to the Maryland game thread for instance, Delgreco posted that the difference in the monthly stipend at a Penn State/Maryland vs a La Salle/ Drexel is $2000-$3000 per month vs $300-$400 per month. If you go to Delgreco's Black Cager website and look up his article entitled "The Big 10's (Successful) Attack on Philly Mid-Majors you'll see a detailed description of the subject. I personally think that if not for the difference in the stipend that someone like Donta Scott would be at La Salle and not Maryland.

What is Howard's offense? Low post, grind it out. Take shots as close to the basket as possible and maximize free-throw attempts.

Cincy sounds like a shit-show right now. From the Athletic The Cincinnati Bearcats’ men’s basketball program has experienced a mass roster exodus in recent days, with six players entering the transfer portal. According to numerous sources close to the program and familiar with the decisions, the departures are tied to a rift between those players and coach John Brannen. The string of withdrawals is the latest and most pronounced in a stretch of significant roster turnover during Brannen’s two years at Cincinnati. Seven players recruited by Brannen since he was hired in 2019 have left the program. Of the seven Bearcats roster additions made prior to the 2020-21 season, only two currently remain, with four of the five high school signees from the 2020 recruiting class gone after less than a year on campus. theathletic.com/2461697/2021/03/18/the-rift-with-cincinnati-bearcats-coach-john-brannen-that-led-to-a-mass-exodus-of-basketball-players/

I accompanied Donta Scott on visits to Seton Hall, South Carolina, Maryland and Temple...
The NBA arenas got his attention... The training tables got his attention... The luxury apartments got his attention... The weight rooms got his attention... The private jets got his attention... The 4 and 5 star hotels got his attention...
There's a big gap between the Power 5 and the other guys...
It gets wider every season

All true but once student athletes become part of a program other factors like playing time, relationships with coaches and teammates as well as other things are incentives to transfer. I kind of relate this to the Contours song First I Look at the Purse. “ A woman can be as fine as can be with kisses sweet as honey, but that don’t mean a thing to me If she ain’t got no money.” If that makes no sense, remember it is early in the AM.

Thanks for giving me this opportunity to say a few things prior to our Annual Day of Giving which is coming up next week. I think past I was able to put together the Challenge to help raise money for the COBE fund. This fund has provided necessary items to help the program. I am proud to say we contributed and the fund is going strong today. Del pointed out some of the items that get high profile player's attention. I would like to address his list as to what La Salle is and isn't doing. NBA type arena. Never happen. We aren't Maryland and Penn State. Build something nice and maintain it to our level. Further questions, ask the President and AD where we stand, Training tables. I know for a fact that MBB players had "unlimited" access to the dining halls. Prior to the Sweet 16 season, I was with a few friends in the Blue and Gold. I saw one of the players passing around his plastic meal card to a bunch of students. The COBE fund provided meals (might even have been a chef) for the players when they were on campus and the dining halls were closed. My understanding was that each player had a nutritionist plan their meals. La Salle doesn't have a luxury high rise so I direct you to the President to see what happened to the one planned for the parking lot next to Trumark. What we do offer are the townhouses. Which is the best we can offer. Better than the dorms. Thank you Billy Hahn. Weight room- Never been there. Don't know much about it. I can say that supposedly an alum donated so that MBB and WBB have their own dedicated Strength and Conditioning coach. We must be doing something right because other schools keep trying to hire our S&C coaches. Private jets or Charters- La Salle is lucky in one regard that they can play a lot of teams within 3.5 hours of campus. So it just makes sense from a time and financial aspect to bus the team. We have been using charter flight for at least five years to longer and harder to get locations. We routinely fly to St. Louis, Dayton, St. Bonnies (Towanda PA is closest airport I'm told) and Davidson. Not sure about Duquesne. Haven't heard about UMASS, URI or the two Richmond schools. We played in FL last year and chartered back and forth. 4 and 5 star hotels. We don't stay at the Four Seasons like UNC does but La Salle i think uses a lot of Marriott proprieties. Not a lot of 4 star hotels near a lot of A10 schools. I stayed in a Courtyard about 6 miles from UMASS. Also stayed at a really nice Marriot a couple of blocks from Duquesne. Same with Dayton. I really appreciate this opportunity and maybe Kale or Brian will post something on the Day of Giving benefits. I plan on giving and encourage others to do so if they can. EDIT- asked how many A10 schools offer close to $3000 per month stipend and no one can give me an answer.

He seems like a guy who could really benefit waiting this out a bit to see if a power team ends up with a big hole at 3rd guard.

A power team is not taking David Beatty. He was an under performing A-10 player. That is list is about right.

1. One already has 2. I'm aware you think everyone sucks, no need to repeat it 3. I think my phrasing made it clear how I'd see that path opening later and not now

You do not deal in reality. Your fantasyland perch is so out of touch.
I have 8 years of shit basketball I have been following. Either coaching or players or both have not been good enough. So there have not been too many players or coaching performances to be happy about. Pretty obvious except your glasses.

Also: New Mexico State might be in the WAC, but they usually win like 29 games a season and make the tournament. Far from a minor program. New Mexico's also a traditional regional power that has slipped in recent years and just hired Richard Pitino.

Pretty sure that’s a recruiting violation. It’s not. Several years ago the NCAA changed the rules so parents/guardians can accompany recruits on official visits. Unofficial visits have never had those restrictions

No school is paying $3000 per month. If they are, I would like to know because I would refer them to the NCAA and their program would have a plethora of Level 1 violations. I was kinda making a rhetorical statement/question earlier.
The stipend has to be tied to the “cost of attendance” adjustment that the university has for all student bodies.
At the P5 schools, it is about $3-4k per year. It is all out there on the university’s website.
I had a family member help write the policy and had interesting discussions over the holidays.
