3 star Angel Montas commits to Fordham over Tennessee and Illinois.
Anybody know the max. number of years someone can play? Chuba Ohams has played for Fordham for 6 years already, 3 full years and 3 partial years.
Just curious.

SLU just lost Yuri Collins to the portal and Duquesne lost Primo Spears. Maybe the best player on each team. If not, certainly one of the top 2 on each team.

If we do get Diggins (and it looks good right now) we might have the best set of guards in the league.

Just when things were looking up at Fordham…Jay Wright retiring at Villanova. Kyle Neptune expected to be named his replacement.

Would be cool if they can nail someone who is a name, like with LaSalle. A10 is going to be a super-interesting place next year. Adding a new team in a top media market is great, but adding Martin, Miller and Dunphy is wild!

Maybe John Thompson III would be a good fit there, if he is interested in a return to coaching.

Fordham really can’t catch a break.

Davidson just got a commit from Buffalo center David Skogman. I thought he'd be good here as a contrast to Wildens and Woody...

The A-16? A few days ago:

Jaden Daly @DalyDoseOfHoops
Rick Pitino: “We need to get in a multi-bid league. I think the Atlantic 10 — with Loyola Chicago coming in, Archie Miller taking over at Rhode Island and Frank Martin at UMass — is gonna take off.”
"Jack didn’t have any envy in him," Calipari said. "He was the greatest coach to ever coach here."

That would be really interesting: Martin, Miller, Dunphy and Pitino joining a conference in the same year would be insane!

Oh, Rick remembers we exist?
All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.

Huge for Travis Ford.

Oh wow! That would be another classic A10 name coming back to a conference with a lot of coaching talent.

Now maybe we let Iona in and have Slick Rick, too!!! That would be interesting!
