Guys standing around, no screens, no movement by NU. Very poor. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Just like hockey. NU won't put the money into supporting sports, so the Coaches that win say "bye, bye". [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Its possible no good players know NU exists. Not a big social media presence, not much local coverage, not on TV anywhere... [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Niagara has fallen so far that it can't even keep up with the lower class Jones'. Paulus will never go anywhere else as a HC with continuous losing seasons at Niagara. It's a damn shame too because I think GP is a much better coach than his record shows. Can you imagine how difficult it is for him to attract good ballplayers to Monteagle Ridge ? And the more he loses the worse it will be to get even fringe D-1 kids to come to Niagara. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Hopeless. Big hoopla about St Peters going to the elite 8 and how it would help their program. So how deep in the hole is an 8-14 in the same league which is headed for the play-in.

[> Subject: Re: Niagara at Merrimack Thursday 7:00...ESPN+ Author: RCM [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Friday, February 07, 09:02:55pm Author Host/IP: NoHost/146.75.237.62 GP seems like a great guy and likely can be a good coach as it relates to wins and losses. But the deck is so stacked against him. I wonder if he takes the job today in the current market place and setting. This is not on GP. This is on system that is so stacked against schools like NU that it’s almost impossible. Add no engagement from the school and a fait accompli mindset and you have current state There is no way you can turn the entire roster over every year and win at school like NU. As rightfully pointed out by others, the losing and decline just picks up speed the more you lose. There is probably no way out of this cycle sadly. It would take a total 180 from all constituencies at the school. And an outlay of money that NU can’t allocate. It is always cheaper to keep your house up then do all the repairs at once once it starts to crumble. What’s the end game here? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
