I'm starting to think a good phone call for Frank Martin is when he leaves an awesome voicemail for a player. Damn that voicemail pumped me up, time to tweet about it. Jeff Goodman mentioned the other day many players haven’t received their final NIL checks so they haven’t entered the portal yet. N...

Are there any local reporters who do a good job covering UMass recruiting these days? Since Matt V moved to Masslive I don’t see anything about who is on visits to UMass for hoops or football. Milt Cole and Matt were always communicating visits back in the day.

Tyler Mason now in the portal I look at this 2 ways: Maroon Colored Glasses or "WTF is going on here?" Maroon - Mason didn't see much action last year. Maybe Frank told him he didn't see an expanded role for him, so Mason moved on. This hopefully means that Frank knows he has 1 or 2 quali...

We have an offer on the table. Still a chance he comes back. NIL is not the driving force in his decision, but it is a factor. Don't blame him at all for testing the waters. If NIL isn't the driving force what is it then? He has a chance to be POY, be thought of as one of the all-time UMass greats,...

@TheNextHoops is reporting Sophmore Oakland G Brooke Quarles-Daniel’s is on a visit to UMass. Quarles-Daniel’s is 5’7” and averaged 13.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2.3 steals per game.

It’s extremely frustrating to watch players we’ve put our support behind leave for other universities on an annual basis but unfortunately that’s where we are today with college athletics. Universities with the most funding are going to use Low Majors and Mid Majors as the minor leagues and select p...

Most disappointed I’ve been since John Hempel left.

All the best Matt as you move forward.

I am not throwing in the towel but it is just getting harder and harder to be passionate. I was donating money to keep Matt Cross on my basketball team, not some transfer from Stony Brook or wherever. I can't imagine how people that give much more money than me, including those that run Mass Co, fe...

Do you anticipate being able to retain Cross again this year? That’s our goal, or course. If not, we will proceed as needed. In either scenario, the more support the better :arrow: www.TheMassCollective.com/join Remember when we lost RJ last year? We got Cohen and Curry after. Keep the faith! And k...

Watched quite a bit of the MAC tournament and the basketball was entertaining and the talent was good. What really impressed me was the atmosphere in Cleveland. I have to say, between the AAC, CUSA and the MAC, the MAC by far had the best tournament atmosphere. The AAC should be embarrassed, the att...

Based on this years schedule each team plays either 2 or 3 games on weeknights.

Steve81 your next assignment is to lobby Delaware, Temple and James Madison to move to the MAC!

He said he had to leave right after his talk to see a recruit down in NY. This led to lots of questions. He said there are 3 areas that need to be improved for us to get to the next level. Athleticism, rim protection and *** he got interrupted***. I'm guessing 3-point shooting would be #3. The recr...
