Good crowd. Lots of Dayton fans. Apparently they travel well, much like their players. Even the refs noticed that a couple of times.

Decent. Plenty of empty seats, even in the lower bowl.

[I also heard we are pursuing a 4th scholarship.]

Sorry for my typo (don't really get a ton of sleep during the week as a Davidson student). To confirm, we are looking for a recruit who will concievably play in the 2017-2018 season? I understand y'all can't say anything more than that. Also to any recruit reading this: as a current freshman it is pretty great here, the spicy chicken quesadillas are especially exquisite and chic-fil-a is nearby.

Isn't transfer season coming up? I bet there would be room for a tall guy.

Wasn't Tyler a later than usual signee? We know how that worked out (and how we still miss him on the team). Maybe the next T$ is out there, in terms of timing at least.

Good article on 2018 target Riley Battin: http://www.scout.com/college/utah/story ... -high-utah

Hanging out with friends and getting those late night quesadillas are some of my fondest memories

I like this Jake Betlow kid.

Yes, T$ was a late signing. He was lightly recruited until he led his HS team to a championship.

At the Brickhouse, Tyler's relative (close) explained that he was a late recruit, mostly because another high school baller had gotten his schollie, until that young man failed to gain admission to Camelot. Then, on the day of a play-off game, which could have been Tyler's last one, Coach McKillop's flight out of Chicago go seriously delayed and he almost missed seeing him perform - arrived after game had started. Clearly proof of the validity of chaos theory and horse's nail. So, we got him and the rest is great history.

Sean Grennan (of NJ?) I believe...?

Correctomundo - Toms River, to be precise. I do hope that Mr. Grennan found his way ultimately, as I know his pain, having been wrongly cut by Lefty in my Camelot situation.

Yes, I recall the drama on this board as one of Sean's relatives posted here. I was just too polite to bring that back up. The link above recounts his peripatetic academic career, for you Aristotelians. And no, MLC, he wasn't cut by our basketball coach, as you know, so not so parallel.

The Jesuits at St. Trez' in Mooresville are being reassigned, presumably mostly to retirement. Fr. Ward, arguably the best preacher among them, will become president of Fairfield, as I understand it.

My point in bringing up Tyler's timing was an expression of hope that there is still some exceptional potential Wildcat who could still come our way even at this late juncture. Obviously we got the best deal in that whole sequence of events, even without making a pun about closing a door and innuendo. And if we can't get the next Tyler, I would take someone really tall.

Correctomundo, SL: Having been granted total and unfettered access to the Court of Round Ball, walking on the very same hardwood as did the immortals - Cook, Huckel, Maloy, Kroll of Heavy Dating and Moser of Orange - I was much closer to heaven than Mr. Sean. So, why some may say it is better to lose a love, not knowing what you never got is better, for sure.

Game on, bury the Bonnies.

Additional new article on Scout (subscription only) in which Riley Battin again names us as a school recruiting him, but goes into detail on his interest on Utah and Northwestern but not us. Says his recruitment is wide open: http://www.scout.com/college/basketball ... ley-battin

Sounds like we have a shot but it'll take a few breaks to land him (i.e. Northwestern and utah signing other guys at his position)
