Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

We dont send out minutes. But I spend a few hours a week chatting with members on the phone, especially this time of year, so feel free to reach out anytime 413-687-5232. Thanks. Appreciate it. As Director, it’s a good thing to get yourself out there. Respect that. But it’d be important for some of...

Re: KAEO Robert Davis Jr

If it is a shot at Frank, that's gotta be one of the fastest 180's I've ever seen. And not just because he transferred, that's the norm. But being a "Frank guy" and being in Frank's corner vocally to this is something.... Considering his mother and Frank’s wife were together often and Dav...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

Josh Coen made all A10 first team… Yeah…he made all A10, UMass got 20 wins….and a seat in front of the TV for the post season. At the end of the day/season UMass did no better with him than it did without him. Interesting comment, by saying UMass did no better this season you are saying that you mo...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

Where Cohen ends up will be interesting…I’m guessing FM trys to lure more of a defensive/athletic/rim protector at the 5 and be more of a perimeter scoring/driving offense. I can't remember exactly how he said it, but last off-season Frank said something to the effect of he wanted to get a back to ...

Re: 2024-25 Season

I'd love Cross to stay but doubt it. Can we keep DHS, Diggins, Keon, Jayden, Curry ??? I wouldn’t be surprised if any of these guys leave as NIL Lottery will be raining cash! Frank needs to mostly recruit 4/5th year players with reasonable NIL expectations as most successful teams in the A10 were h...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

As much as Davis adapted well to the school and the area, as well as his mom moving to Springfield for the year, with Jayden and Nate G being ahead of him next year his minutes could actually go down. A school like Siena has NIL money and he would fit in with their style very well…would be a good mo...

No information here but just from watching things it doesn’t look like Cross is coming back

Re: 2018 Recruiting needs and potential recruits

But the much bigger whiff is Buie. Buie cashed in on the COVID-bonus year, and has racked up over 2100 points in the process. Their Senior Night broadcast worked in a mention of how UMass pulled his offer. https://twitter.com/CurryHicksSage/status/1766992975643488681 Someone in UMassTwitter said th...

Re: Game 30, 2023-24: Fordham (3/6)

I thought they fouled a little too early - guy wasn't even across half court yet - under 3 seconds would have been ideal ???????????????? 2 seconds later he would have been in scoring position Basketball players can go a long distance in 2 seconds It was a great foul imo, no need to take chances, I...

Also, someone mentioned Jayden’s foul with 4.6 seconds being a bad foul…it was done on purpose I thought they fouled a little too early - guy wasn't even across half court yet - under 3 seconds would have been ideal Sure, but by 3 seconds the dribbler would’ve been in shooting range and that brings...

Re: A10 Standing/Seeding Changes Discussion

I gotta throw this out there. UMass was predicted what, 11th preseason in the A10? Nobody thought we'd be any good. Lot of locals thought Frank was too verbally tough on the players, too hard on them. Well it looks like he was right about getting the right kids who want to be better. And all their ...

Looks like they were picked 13th, but it doesn't matter ( https://atlantic10.com/news/2023/10/16/dayton-repeats-as-top-pick-in-atlantic-10-mens-basketball-poll-preseason-honors-announced.aspx ). 13th, 14th, it doesn't matter, they've been much better than predicted.

Re: Game 30, 2023-24: Fordham (3/6)

could somebody please explain to me what Umass is doing with the slow walk up the court on every possession? And its not just the slow walk - sometimes they throw it to Cross or Jayden a step or two before the half court line and they just hold the ball - half the time they throw it back to curry a...

Re: Game 30, 2023-24: Fordham (3/6)

^ I disagree. "You are what your record says you are" or something along those lines. They caught some lucky breaks (George Mason, URI, Fordham) and had some go against them (Loyola, St Joes). I think it pretty much all evened out in the end and their record reflects who they are. 60% fro...
