Mooney’s Coaching Tree (including former players)

[SFspidur]

I don't concede that. we've had 1 bid twice in 20 years. we're still better than any league that regularly gets one bid.

But also twice in 3 years lol.

Yes, we’re still better than the traditional one-bid leagues and there will be years we get multiple, but the trend is not good.

that's true. I'm still disagreeing with the definitive statement that we're a one bid league.

Not sure where to put this one, but of course two MW teams, GW from A10......and Hovde getting some love at Columbia:

Zach Chu and Radford generating excitement by having an open practice with Rothstein who will then preview the team.

Good for Chu, it's almost like he wants publicity and build some excitement for his program. Weird.

I have a feeling JR is going to come away from this practice with a Palpable BUZZ.

New home for a former Mooney assistant. Glad he found a home after his loss of his head coaching spot.

It begins

Chu seems like a very outside the box thinker. I'll be following Radford to see how he does with that program. He certainly is generating lots of PR for the Radford program.

Hovde kicks off his head coaching career in a 1pm start at first time D1 team New Haven. Kind of sucks this game is at 1pm or I may have went.
Iona home against Hofstra for Geriot's debut.

Hovde with a nice win in game 1.

Soulis with 6 points and 3 rebounds.

I totally forgot Mason Ritter was at Columbia. He, Trent Noah, and Max Green were the Kentucky trio that Gipe was recruiting a couple of years ago.

Had forgotten that our former commit, de-commit Matt Reed now plays at Iona for Dan G.

I remember I wanted him, but must have repressed everything else.
he committed to us?

yep committed - remember since was watching Twitter in Cville having a nice dinner with my daughter before her tour the next day at UVA - and then a couple weeks later uncommitted - assumed he wanted to stay closer to his Texas home

 

[SFspidur]

Yeah he was committed to us for a couple months in late 2022 before backing out and settling on Tulsa.

 

[Section9_RowD]

Dan G is off to the best start in NCAA history. 18-2 against Hofstra. Footsteps Coach ....

 

[SFspidur]

Good day for the triumvirate...in addition to Columbia winning easily, Iona cruised after jumping out to the big lead and Radford beat up on D-II WV Wesleyan.

Good day for the triumvirate
