Well if Kahn is hired at CNU, then CNU!!!

          

When good players graduate, that impacts preseason polls. It will be interesting to see what happens to CNU. A lot will depend on who steps in at the helm.

I would think this is a double edged sword for someone.

1.  Here is a team that arguably can be considered a top 2-5 team
2. Don't screw it up.

Quote from: CNU85 on April 29, 2026, 10:08:13 AMI found a way to see the rosters. 18 on the mens team and 13 on womens team. That's just not enough to be competitive. Player safety would be my first concern.

I do not know anything about lacrosse, but that makes more sense.

My first reaction was of surprise that a school would cut a program with 18 players.

I am far less surprised by Lakeland cutting tennis with significantly fewer tuition-paying players.

As a comparison, CNU has 60 on the men's roster. The women list 31.

Quote from: MRMIKESMITH on April 28, 2026, 11:22:08 AMSalisbury schedule is finally complete with times and places. Non-Con remains the same, not sure this prepares us for a surging Rowan program that appears to be getting better and better. We finish the season against our new Route 13 Rival in CNU. The time of the CNU game is TBA, could be de facto championship game. This year is somewhat an unknown, but as always Salisbury will compete, but will we have the changing playmakers that allows us to get to the Elite 8, only time will tell. Salisbury typically does better when they are somewhat of a dark horse. As I mentioned, I think CNU and Rowan are my preseason favorites. Although Salisbury may have the better QB returning, I think CNU and Salisbury may have to replace some key positions due to graduation and transfer portal.

That's probably a good preseason summary. Even with recruiting and players tranfering in, how do we really know how they fit in and add value? Freshmen may take years. For me, CNU has some key questions to answer. Losing an All-american QB to Penn State was absolutely unexpected. So, we need an answer at that position. Losing a WR like Hart also raises the question of who will step up. It's kinda fun to watch and see what the coaches do and to watch other players step up. It's only April and I'm ready for the season to start!

Wow...I went to their athletic website to see the rosters to determine how many players this impacted and they no longer have the links listed under "Sports". They've already removed the pages. That seems a bit harsh. Just my opinion.

Tonight, they are having a huge fundraiser featuring former MLB player and 4x World Series Champion, Darryl Strawberry. $125/plate

I just learned that Regent doesn't do meal plans.  There's a restaurant style place you can buy meals ala carte, but all the dorms have full kitchens and most students cook for themselves.  That's pretty interesting.

That is interesting. Especially for underclassmen. And no meal plans at all.  I believe all CNU upperclassmen dorms have full kitchens. I know my daughter lived on campus until her senior year. She had a full kitchen as a sophomore and junior. She still had a meal plan.

oh well. Rules is da rules. it'll be ok.

I read that piece with great interest. If everyone returns next year, CNU will have 9 seniors. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

CNU's Toa Hollenbeck's dad is now the HC at Regent.

Toa's Dad!

Quote from: FCGrizzliesGrad on April 06, 2026, 06:44:25 PMWas anyone else reminded of 1983 NC State? Whittenburg to Charles for the title? Just needed coach Marcus Kahn to run around looking for someone to hug.

And now I feel old. I will go sit in the corner and eat my applesauce and Ensure!

Awesome win by UMW. Congrats to all...players, coaches, fans!

The C2C brings home another championship! 

Congrats to UMW! I didn't see the game, but I will check out the highlights. Also, a big congrats to former CNU Captain, Hassan Hammad. So awesome you have a Natty!  A great guy! 

RMC in 22
CNU in 23
UMW in 26

That's some serious hoops playing in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Way to go Eagles and congrats to their coach! 
And barring the stupid portal, everyone returns!!!

My grandsons, ages 5 and 3, have just been accepted to Montverde Academy!

I hope I can get hoops tickets!!!

Quote from: CNU85 on March 22, 2026, 10:40:52 AMTime to become a Mary Wash fan for 1 game!  Congrats to the Eagles.

CNU hung tough for most of the game and just didn't have enough in the tank for the last few minutes. Emory is too good of a team to mount a comeback.

We will be back.

I would think (before seeing final rosters) CNU would be preseason top 3.

Could be. CNU loses one senior. UMW has zero seniors. There's always the transfer portal issue, but I'm not too worried about that. I'm not sure about the other top teams. Maybe I will do some research in the off season.
