adapt to sustain? we shall see
Sorry — who is May?
conor may from washington u, d3
happened to see him play against emory
solid sf type. no celiscar but cld be solid
the question will always be can he score over ppl at this level in the interior. the kid had a good shooting night when i watched against the d3 natl runner up. it didnt answer the q but he showed range and has size. uaa d3 ball isnt that different than the ivy the kids are just smaller
for perspective i saw luke kolaja who never played much at yale score 30 against emory. he plays for nyu. he played in 10 games for yale over 3 yrs. avg’d 14 for nyu as a grad transfer
celiscar is obv an enormous loss. incredible talent for the ivy league. while i warned of it i hate to see it. the kid got paid and baylor sells some stuff culturally he bought also.
i do like that yale was nontraditional (for it) in replacing the body if not the player.
admissions turning this arnd in a few weeks is certainly new

Just a great sign for Yale to take a UAA transfer. I’m partial to the league as I was probably headed to WashU before Yale shown interest back in my day but James is right that a lot of Ivy transfer downs recently have dominated/been successful in the UAA. You see it with Justin Simon’s Carnegie Mellon roster.
Who knows if May will be any good but at least we’re taking shots. It does sound like Vicky Chun is on the way out as AD as theres been numerous hit pieces against her. She’s overseen a lot of Yale basketall success but I think it’s more likely thats been in spite of her instead of because of her.

you think Chun is out?
i saw the stuff with Allain hit the wire. Then seeing Jeff Hamilton get hired as hockey coach was certainly an olive branch to the hockey alums.
lacrosse alums indicate there isnt a great relationship b/t Chun and the HC.
JJ seems to like her. She blew me off when i tried to broach NIL with her at a reception one year ago.

FoxNews rails on her seemingly weekly, but heres the YDN from a few days ago talking about hockey and how shes pretty unreachable for the coaches which I’ve heard rumors about including from basketball. We’ll see what happens. Mcinnis actually seems pretty sharp leading the overall university so I tend to trust her.
Chun hiring and subsequently not firing our womens coach after she ran that program into the ground is really the only gripe I can think of with her. Although the women have been taking a ton of transfers recently which bodes well for us.

Interesting that 3 teams are taking D3 transfers this year.

agree. like milddogs said must take a shot.
i watched a ton of emory games this year. there are kids on most uaa teams that could help.
you reduce the ceiling of say yale or the ivy league when you lose talents like wolf and celiscar but the base is reinforced
my guess we drift down as we get younger but what else are you going to do. try something
