Mooney’s Coaching Tree (including former players)

Did VCU or UR recruit him? Or did he work hard and blow up over the past summer?

Go Spiders!
Parker was a Top 100 recruit in the country. Believe he was player of the year in the Metro area. So, not sure how much either us or VCU recruited him but he was largely out of our league. He went to NC State for 2 years, never really lived up to his recruited potential there.

out of our league out of HS ... but did we give him a look in the portal?
missed opportunity if we don't talk to a local top 100 kid who's looking to transfer down in state.
 
Not a great result yesterday for theses guys. Columbia spanked at home vs Harvard 79-54. Radford loses at home against UNC Asheville 91-72. Both were favored. Geriot and Iona host Canisius as an 11 point favorite today.
 
Rob Jones at Cedarville is currently 8-6 and 3-3 in conference. Lost to Walsh (top team in the G-MAC) on Thursday, but had a day off on Saturday. They seem to play on Thursdays and Saturdays. Next up for them is Hillsdale, not a good team.

And that is exactly what I would expect from a Rob Jones coached team. Not the worst team in the league but far from the best. He learned mediocre from the King of it after all.
 
Mid January Comp:

Iona - 12-7 WL. Kenpom Rankings - Overall 211. Adjusted Offense Ranking - 237 Adjusted Defense Rating 175
Columbia 12-4 Kenpom Rankings - Overall 154. Adjusted Offense Ranking - 160 Adjusted Defense Rating 151
Radford 10-9 Kenpom Rankings - Overall 259. Adjusted Offense Ranking - 198 Adjusted Defense Rating 307

If I had a guess before the season, this is what I would have guessed -Hovde looks to be top guy out of the gate. He has the most college assistant hands on coaching experience. Geriot is very personable and motivated - I think as he gains experience he will get better and better. Chu is in a weak conference, and had two ACC level players. Woudl expect a little better, but he has mostly been an analytics guy, so the hands on the court and in game strategy and managing players, and egos, and the bumps of the season may take a while.
 
Iona loses by 14 to Saint Peters.
Columbia loses by 17 to Yale. Not unexpected.
And dang forgot that was at Yale today, would have liked to catch that one.
 
Iona 66 Manhattan 57
Columbia 79 Dartmouth 69 , Soulis 10 pts 5 boards
Friday High Point 93 Radford 83
 
I have not. Was planning g to go see Columbia at Yale and completely forgot about the game. But have not watched any of their games.

Columbia and Radford seem to play a lot of high scoring games.

Defense wins championships. Or doesn’t.
 
Radford playing Charleston Southern tonight on ESPN+. Watched some of the game and looks nothing like the Mooney offense. Radford up 15 at half. Had an inbounds play with 1.2 seconds left in half that lead to open 3 point shot (make).
