From the: That's Quite The Athletic Pedigree Dept:

To say recent Lady Royal recruit Megan Logan comes to Scranton from a family of athletes would be somewhat of an understatement.

Her dad played basketball at Holy Cross, her mom played at Manhattan, her brother currently plays at Davidson and her sister swims at Duke.

Pretty impressive to say the least.

Thanks for the overview.
Nice to see teams that are willing to open up with competitive programs as opposed to feasting on cupcakes.

The Lady Royals should get two very good tests right out of the gate.
SUNY Geneseo knocked off Catholic in the NCAA tournament first round at CUA, then won the next night vs. Montclair to advance to the Sweet 16.
They return 3 of their top scorers.

SUNY Cortland always plays physical & they have the big girl (Lusk) that will post up & shoot the 3.
They too have a nice group of tournament ready kids & both games are on the road in upstate NY.

Should be some great games to start a new season.

Exactly.
And, unless there is a miracle on the Hill...we won't be seeing another one under him for another 22 years.
It's time.

Nearly half of his trips were not 1 & done but...more than half were.

Additionally...Ben may already have more NCAA tournament wins in 3 years (7) than men's basketball has put together in his entire 21 year tenure.

Not to minimize their contributions, but how deep was their run with any of them?
All I remember is one Elite 8 and that's about it except for the typical one & done whenever, on the rare occasion, they did make the dance.

The year after the Elite 8 run they added Brenden Boken & got upset by Juniata at home in a first round Landmark game so ongoing development & consistency never became a thing for the Royals under this current coach.

Fast forward 14 years from the E-8 run and the same issues persist.

It's time for the golden watch.

With J.P. calling it a career down at Kings, perhaps Danzig is also ready to wrap things up??
Another 12 win season should seal the deal (ready or not).
Perhaps the Royal braintrust can make him the head coach of women's golf so Ed doesn't have to do double duty & short change the women.

NEPA:

Still dreaming of a rematch?   

Oh, I'm sure he did. 
After 1 year in the Steel City and being part of a Panthers team that won all of 5 or 6 games before they cleaned house (with the sole exception of former Lady Royal Abby Anderson),...I'm sure he's as revered as Bradshaw, Clemente & Crosby.   

Meh.

They are both now listed in the Lady Royals homepage schedule.

Just posted...

The Lady Royals have added two exhibition games vs. D1 programs.
On Oct. 25th. they'll be at Colgate and on Nov. 16th. they'll be at Pitt.
Fantastic job by Ben to get these games & experience for the players.
My guess is that Abby helped pull the trip to Pittsburgh together.
Regardless, well done Scranton!

Answer: A

Danzig is really upgrading the Royals schedule.
No more Bard, Sarah Lawrence or Pratt.
Heard he was working a clinic in Lansing this summer on the topic of "The Joys Of Offensive Rebounding, & he was able to get Tom Izzo to book the Royals.

Or...

Answer: B

They're headed to York College & there was never an invite to Lansing.
Anything to do with offensive rebounding was a dream as well.

Lady Royal's schedule is up.

SUNY Cortland will be tough at their place as will Geneseo.
Works for me...these teams & their environment will only make Scranton that much better.
No cup-cakes.

No info on men's b-ball recruits because they probably didn't bring in anyone. 
What a mess this program has become.
"Players 6'4" & taller please join our club/NCAA sanctioned team.
No experience needed other than being able to jog & chew gum...not always at the same time."
Scoring & defense not required.
