Subject: Bona board.

BG doesn't pay much attention to the Bona board, but this AM he took a quick spin over there. Take a look, if you have a bit of spare time,at "The problem that the NIL creates for Bona fans like me". Mull it over.

It's basically the same sentiment on most every board of the old line catholic basketball D1 schools , maybe with exception of big east and a couple of national schools. Impossible to project what might be the situation for all of these schools even a couple years. The Bona poster hit it on the head that there will be no emotional attachment to any of these one year players which most likely leads to less alumni connection to the program as time goes on.

I can tell you that will also be true at some large, public schools as well. Already happening where I live.

Correct,no well connected alumni is going to reach out or even accept a call from a player who gave your school,1 good year before he moved on to his next school or 2.

Not that it is what we want as a D-I program, but there could be some benefits if they change the mindset for mid-majors. Rick Pitino said the other day that they don't even recruit out of High School anymore because he can win more with experienced players. If the mid-major mindset becomes more of a JUCO mindset - we can bring you in and get playing time/experience and put up some stats to take that next step for the following years. Again-This sucks as a Canisius fan/alum, but with the evolving business that is NCAA - this might be the best way to really build a successful Mid-Major program. If you can establish yourself as a school that has had success on the big stage, it might appeal to more guys out of high school? Would like to think that they can maintain a few guys through 3-4 years, but will have to fill roster spots through the transfer eventually anyways obviously. This has also been beneficial for those D-II guys that have been productive and talented, I have been happy to see them looking that avenue as well. I know when I was coaching at MCC (D-II JUCO), we consistently had guys going on to D-I-there really wasn't much difference talent wise from D-II to D-I, it's usually more of a difference in athleticism and/or size.
