Subject: Niagara Picked for MAAC Cellar by Blue Ribbon Author: Maldez [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Tuesday, November 05, 02:50:01pm Author Host/IP: syn-067-249-246-087.res.spectrum.com/67.249.246.87 "On paper, this squad has lots of question marks rolling into the season. It's a versatile group -- something Paulus loves about his roster -- but they need time to jell. The Purple Eagles might struggle early finding their way, but Paulus has the program trending upward and they will be ready come March." Canisius picked for 2nd last, Q-pac picked for 1st.

However, although noticeable due to his size and older stature, I liked what Jhaylon Martinez did with his 16 minutes. I know he had every advantage vs Houghton, but he played well regardless. Looks ready to get better. He brought some skills with him I thought more developed than the rest. It was a weird game to watch.

No one knows anything anymore with the massive player movement on a yearly basis. It's all guess work based on recruiting projections and hearsay. Niagara might not be good but we have no way of saying at this moment because we've barely seen them play. Hopefully they'll be a pleasant surprise.

There’s no way of knowing how these transfers will take to a new school, a new conference, a new coach, new teammates. I thought the team looked as if they meshed well together and that’s a start. I am trying to determine if I should learn their names or just stick with numbers in case they all leave at the the end of the season.

These former players like Mendez, Lewis, Cruz,and even as far back as Manny, come back and reignite with a community they knew and still remain friends with. I remember ages ago going to MSG to see a game vs SJU and NU had a pre game reception. I saw an older man there and he had a name tag on and it was Charlie Hoxey. This guy after NU was drafter by the St Louis Hawks and was also a Harlem Globetrotter. I was 2 years old when this guy did his thing at NU, but I read and heard tremendous stories about him. I went up to this man to thank him and to tell him that he was a building block of the NU program and how much admired him for how good a player he was and for how many people (old guys) either remembered him or knew of him. He was shocked, and I mean he was flabbergasted. My friend who I was with just looked at each other in disbelief. That's what else went out the window. Stories, memories and years and years of fanship, if there is a word like that.

It's a one-and-done world now and we either accept it or look the other way.
