Chris Casey was a master recruiter compared to Greg Paulus but couldn't coach worth a crap...GP is a master coach compared to CC but can't recruit worth a crap.

Sorry, recruiting in 2025 vs 2019 is vastly different at a school like Niagara.
Money talks (which FF has plenty of) and is driving recruiting.

NADA ! FF is 7-5 this year but has not won a single meaningful game. They had to go into OT just to eke out a 77-75 win over Stonehill. Their record of 7-5 doesn't look bad but look at their wins, eg, a less than impressive victory over Central Conn. State and some other cupcakes without the filling.

For all their money and a beautiful arena , simply put, FF has accomplished JACK SHIT ! I don't see any 4 or 5 star kids wearing Stag uniforms. How many NCAA or even NIT tournaments has FF been to in the last 10 years ?

Somebody has to win a conference title in these low mid major or low major leagues, yet none of those LOW schools are that much better off than Niagara. And if you take a look at the complete national rankings they are all basically at the bottom percentile of all college basketball programs.

The bottom line is that the Courts, the NIL and portal have killed college basketball at schools like Niagara. In Niagara's case, the THEIR ADMINISTRATION has further decimated and ruined the earlier legacy Niagara had built; which was the Taps years, the Murphy, 1970 team, and the JAM era.

Fairfield is just another losing proposition with no regional or national significance , whatsoever !!!

Noah Best, who transferred from Fordham.

One or two 3 star players are not a rarity on a mid or low major roster. So Fairfield , having one is no great shakes. Every once in a while Niagara gets one.

But to say that FF is some sort of anomaly because they have some money or a larger endowment than Niagara , or to imply that is just stupid.
