Talking about the rats leaving a sinking ship. I can see why D.Thompson left Hartwick this year. They are bad. Of course, her poor recruiting the last 4 years is the blame and not the poor coach who got left this mess. I can see why Daphne went to the other side of town.

 The Plattsburgh Cardinal has to be getting some serious consideration for SUNYAC defensive player of the year.

My pick is RPI beating St. Lawrence last night. St. Lawrence had absolutely demolished their last 12 opponents and was smelling a national ranking.  RPI had lost badly 2 of their last 3. Yet RPI wins by 9. Who woulda thunk it? I wonder if the Larrys were looking ahead to next week against William Smith?

It does make you wonder what SUCO saw to hire her.This past season was suppose to be THE season for Hartwick. 9-14 probably meant she saw the handwriting on the wall at 'wick. Plus, her recruiting left lots to be desired. Plenty of kids promised things that were never backed up.

It looks like a rough year for 'wick. Coming off a 9-14 and losing 95% of their scoring, there better be some super frosh coming. I could see a 4-21 season.

What has happened at Hartwick? I can't believe they can turn this season around with the way they are playing. I see mention of four seniors, but only three are seeing any floor time. This is the first time in four years the team has more than one senior. Is there a story there?
Their main scorer is putting up some points, but have you seen the number of shots taken. As a team they don't shoot 40% from the floor! I agree with an earlier post that they were just outside the elite in the empire 8. Now they play as if they are going through the motions, no heart/no fire. What happened?

  I'm scratching my head myself. This is team where the seniors have played mega-minutes for 3-4 years and they have a terrible record this year. I expected them to win the empire 8 this season.  When Lindsey and company graduate this year, it looks real bad. The contributions of the rest of the team are marginal. I don't know whether it is poor recruiting or no recruiting at all.

   I'm sure the drinking incident that resulted in the college president forcing them to drop two games over break is having an affect. Everyone is real tight lipped about that. Lucky those 2 games don't count as forfeits.

 Sounds like a major problem at Hartwick: http://www.thedailystar.com/sports/2006/12/15/13-hartwick-151.html

  I would think these two games would count as forfeits for 'wick. The future doesn't look any brighter there. Lindsey Wilson and company graduate this year and all those highly recruited freshmen are doing nothing.

With baumy weather on us I ask to hear your opinions,  concerning to which commands will win struggle around of heading of a pork leather?
What has a command the best insult? How the group most is in an exhibition of a line of a gate? Whether there Are students of the first year who go to do a star? Who is the player of year?

Thank You

 Any word on new recruits for the Liberty League teams this year?

 Wilson can be point, but she is  natural 2. She plays the point because they have no other choice. I saw the game against Union and when Wilson wasn't bringing the ball up, Adams- the center was - so the lack of a point is their second biggest problem right now. The biggest is that they only have 7 players. With the Empire Firday-Saturday schedule now, it is almost impossible to do anything, unless you have 10 contrubtors.

 Could be Hartwick's year. They really need a point guard but Wilson and the two big kids give them three options. If they can break the press, it could be their's for the taking.

Union  looks down this year and Skidmore doesn't look like they have improved at all. What happen to these two programs?

How good is the Utica freshmen Whitney Frament? Does anyone know?

  She should be something. Catholic Central was promoting her as sure fired D 1. Surprised she ended up D3.

Vassar add anything new to their offense this year?
