Subject: DD Get's Some LOVE ...

maybe not from where expected but posted on 24-Mar on SantaClaraBroncos.com ... Cheryl L. made reference to DD and the season ...

I want to publicly congratulate Dick Davey on his 200th career win and his 100th career WCC win this season. In his 12 seasons as the head coach of the Broncos and his over 26-year association with this institution, Dick has maintained a program that has always reflected Santa Clara's values and mission. He will be quick to say that he did not achieve this milestone on his own and he always gives credit to his former players and staff. But, he has worked hard to give Bronco fans a program they can be proud of and a hearty congratulations is well deserved!

His Bronco team finished the season with a .500 record but gave us plenty of memorable moments. Nine of our opponents qualified for postseason tournament play, including five in the NCAA Tournament. We played Southeastern Conference champion Mississippi State and Villanova from the Big East to overtime. And, that one-point loss to third-ranked Gonzaga in the WCC Tournament semifinal on ESPN was one WCC basketball fans will be talking about for ages.

I also want to thank our loyal Bronco basketball fans and the student body for their support this season. We enjoyed a 77 percent increase in attendance this year, which places us third in the WCC after a we experienced a couple of down years in this area. We have a great team coming back and we are all looking forward to competing for a league title and returning the Broncos to the NCAA Tournament.


no extension yet ... my guess is that she's trying not to rock too many boats (seeing how there's 3.5 really big ones to raise ... and everything she said about DD is TRUE ... and practically everyone knows it ....

I'm looking for a couple of good recruits and a 20 win season to get SCU and DD back where they belong ...

Good to see Ms. L give D squared some love.If Keady does go to USF, DD'll need to win 20, because our Jesuit brethren to the north will have definitely raised the bar for the Bay Area WCC teams. I'm sure Keady'd get into the Bronco- Don thing in a hurry. Plus, the last two times Purdue played SCU, they beat the hell out the Broncos.
I agree that 20 wins can be had with some luck and a healthy squad.Nothing we haven't spoken of before. A 100% Rohe,whose back was clearly a problem all season would be a good start.
A bigger and stronger Denison would be a plus--is he working with the Canadian Junior team this summer or is he too old?
A consistent KB and an improving Perkins might be the key, especially if Angley can play at the D1 level, because he is the only real point guard on the roster. Angley's numbers were down this past season; previously he appeared (these are statistics and accounts talking -- no personal observations) to have dominated his competition. He was solid, not dominant this past season. I still think he wasn't 100% after the hamstring injury suffered in football. This year, his body will have a chance to heal and be in basketball shape when the season starts. I'm betting both he and Henke contribute next season. The mysterious KS wing/foward can hopefully add some athleticsm and replace/upgrade the only real loss the Broncos suffer with graduation (no offense to the gritty and determined Jim Howell- a true warrior and class act)--JR Patrick, who was beginning to look like the JC all american the Broncos recruited 2 years ago. Coninued improvement from Tibbets, Niessen, and a healthy Borchardt would help too.Who knows what to expect from Legge? Hopefully he finishes his senior year with a flourish. Besides the KS recruit, I think the Broncos have one more schollie left-- Bakari's spot. If that's the case, another true 5 or 1 would be helpful; the Broncos need both size and ball handling/playmaking. The Broncos showed some serious (and maddening) flashes of promise last year, but could not get it together consistently,. IF DD can pull MSU/BYU/Pacific/ Gonzaga III efforts out of the team every night next year and do the same on the road, next year could be memorable. If not, Levick's current props notwithstanding, I'd expect a change.
But hell, we can be unbridled in our optimism until November, especially if April 14 brings in a couple promising recruits.

great post ...

this pretty much covers the map ... Legge's legs, Kyle's (and Brandon's) backs ... ouch ... everybody get well and stay that way ...

got a great end-of-year letter from LP and this is one class individual ... I like what I see and read from him and think he has a great future ... I hope he rubs off a lot on the "kids" ... the young men playing for SCU couldn't have a better role model/coach ... and we do have a unfair advantage ...

I especially liked reading that after Gonzaga III that ...

It was great having kids call Monday morning wanting to be a part of the SCU program because they were happy to see us compete the way we did.
... good for the Current Broncos ...

Let's hope GONE-Zaga feels the heat next year ... and we all raise the bar and on a regular basis MULTIPLE WCC team make the NCAA dance ...
