Just noticed Darne Duckett a conspicuous absence from the Whitman posted roster.  We're going to see a lot of these around the country this year.  Anyone know if he's taking a year off or has called it career?  With how young the team is, maybe waiting a season to finish his career is a smart move.  I guess he could've transferred, but that's less likely for a senior.

He was announced with the Redlands class along with 2 or three other Whitman guys.

I follow the Centennial and MAC Conferences. This was a good reminder just how good this conference is. Question, what does a NESCAC coach, alumni etc. mean when they say "take basketball serious"? What type of investment constitutes that? Would that be judged on budget, assistant coaching positions, coaches salary, travel ability, facilities? What else... packages? In the leagues I follow, I would say FnM puts the most into their hoops program. Stevens Tech, DeSales too (both FT assistants). Centennial has three full time assistants (FnM, Gburg, Ursinus) and the MAC has a few FT I know of (DeSales, Wilkes, Stevens Tech, Stevenson, Albright). I think packages and assistant coaching positions can be the difference makers.

Take care!

Hopkins has 2 full-time assistants for basketball. Swat has a full-time assistant. Dickinson has a full time assistant. Wash College does too I believe (although not positive on that). The only school I am 100% sure do not have full time assistants in the CC are Haverford and Muhlenberg

I believe Kupa is a sophomore. I like him, although maybe not as much as some. I agree that he is streaky offensively and while I think he has a lot of talent as a defender, a lot of the "selling calls" that he engages in isn't my thing. The guy on F&M that I really like is the big kid Ravetz. I think he's really talented, just doesn't always get a chance to show it.

Tough one last night for the Fords. Played Swat even @Swat with Scibelli only playing 20 mins with foul trouble. I think they're better than their record indicates and I think Coach Doherty has done a great job considering where the program was a year and a half ago.
