Jim Brandon, signed in late August from Walla Walla JC, was the go-to player on Dukiet's breakout team of '79-80.

That '80 team represented the best coaching job in SPC history.....decent talent in Brown, Murphy, Anderson and Brandon....but the sum was way greater than the parts.

Following the '80 season and leveraging it's success, SPC had verbal commitmets from both Richie Anderson (who later starred at UNLV (courtesy of Rich Ganulin, who left Dukiet's staff to join Tark at UNLV) and a 6'9" player from Freehold who wound up starring for Cheney at Temple. Neither landed at SPC....had they done so, SPC would have won a few MAAC's in the early 80's and possibly become the Northern NJ entry into the Big East....

Ifa, woulda, coulda.....if we are patient, I think Dunne can get us to a top level MAAC team...but as a prior poster mentioned....that will happen over 2 or 3 recruiting classes....so patience is a virtue for now.

Enough of a stroll down memory lane. Let's beat Fairfield Friday.

The player you refer to who played for Temple after giving us a verbal was Granger Hall out of Clayton High School in Glassboro area. Actually recruited there by Don Casey the coach at the time. Chaney replaced Casey.

What a stroll?!? We go from a statement that SPC could have been in the Big East to: Let's beat Fairfield! So that's where the program has progressed to: Let's beat Fairfield! FAIRFIELD!

What're you guys going to say about the Providence game: Let's keep the margin of loss within twenty-five?

Our history would have nothing to do with getting into the Big East. Few realize it, but most of our administrations never wanted that type of opportunity. Hell, even Seton Hall was not wanted, but only got in because Rutgers turned it down.

Wrong! Ru was Never even considered. The ONLY reason that SHU got in (as an after thought)was : HOLY CROSS turned down the Big East. ASK DAVE G.

HC had nothing to do with it. It was a geographic necessity for a NJ team and SHU was a garbage program at the time versus Rutgers. Gavit never was known to tell the truth anyway if it reflected bad on the BE.

Garbage program? At least Seton Hall had a gym with parking.
