Quote from: WPI89 on September 28, 2026, 09:27:46 AMBabbo/Ryan etc - do they both have to count toward your 25 game total?

They don't count.

Quote from: SKUD on September 26, 2026, 11:47:48 PMCongratulations to Clark knocking off Wheaton today 1-0.  Unbelievable

What happened to Gael Vera?  Did I miss a transfer?  He would have been a junior this year and was NEWMAC POY last year.  They really miss his offense and creativity.

MIT has scheduled exhibition games with Boston College (Oct 25th) and Harvard (Nov 2nd) to get things rolling.

Impressive.

Babson holds off Gordon at home 2-1 on a goal in the 80th minute by Yablonovskiy.  He entered the game in the 72nd minute and played only 10 minutes total.  Not sure what that's about, but the team isn't going anywhere without him.
Also missing Blake Miller from the midfield, a guy who probably played every minute last year.
Very troubling back line play in the 1st half when 2 guys went in alone on the keeper.
Disappointed to see that Tidiane Thiam who looked solid as a FY in the back, then missed all of last year with an injury did not see any time.  If he can return to form that would help.

On a brighter note, FY starter Adonai Samuel is a nifty, talented FY M/F and a player to watch going forward.

And of course the 2nd half Flo freezes and technical difficulties.  I'm sure they'll work those issues out. /s

Apologies if this has been posted before - popped up on my feed:

Alex Stoddard won the 2026 Best Documentary Short from the Summer League Film Festival for his feature "The Kid from Boston", the story of Terrance Clarke.

Also, again if you haven't seen it, check out the "Sideline Story" the documentary he produced with Spencer Spivy and 3 others on the 2022-2023 Williams basketball season:

https://vimeo.com/1118584699

This is as well-produced as anything I've seen at any level.  Super talented young men and women who put this together.  If this doesn't get you pumped for the upcoming season, what will it take?

Noah Hicks Caltech is playing a Grad year at MIT

6'0" G 4-year starter
1000 point scorer (only played 4 games last year - injury? - but averaged 17.9 as a soph)

By my count this is 4 grads (2 home grown) and 9 seniors on the roster. 

Sleeper team.

Eric Wentz 6'4" G will play a Grad year at MIT.

16/5.8 as a junior at Macalaster (didn't play his senior year)

(With all the seniors and Grad students at MIT - at least 10 now, maybe, just maybe, they've turned the corner)

Joe Thomson Westfield State University has transferred to Babson.

Something doesn't add up.  Played one year at WSU (last year) and was listed as a sophomore.  Babson has him listed as a Grad.  6'7" 235. natural 5.

Anyway, put up 10.1 and 11.6 last year.  I imagine he'll see big minutes though there is a logjam now on a 20+ man roster.

Quote from: WPI89 on August 20, 2026, 10:42:13 AMWPI got a transfer walk on from Oregon State - Kan Yarkut.  Will try to find out more about him.  Not sure if he has 2 or 3 years eligibility left?  6'6" guard or 6'7" forward depending upon which site you look at.

Exciting - welcome to Worcester young man.

Babbo/Dave/Pat/Ryan - any info here?

2 guys from Turkey now, right?  Plenty of guys with size to compete for spots. 

Now that Nescac1 has finalized the list (great job as always), so to speak, here is the same data sorted by D3 college for those who actually transferred.  (Since I had made the suggestion to sort by player name while the list was being built and there was some interest in sorting by college instead I figured I owed it to the board.)

Clark's new HC:

Sounds like a good hire with success at recruiting.  They'll need it, because there's some rebuilding ahead.

https://clarkathletics.com/news/2026/8/7/michael-mailhot-named-head-mens-basketball-coach.aspx

"7 figure revenues".  Nothing to sneeze at.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/49470625/2026-world-cup-college-teams-embraced-international-teams

Riley Naclerio, WPI assistant and SLU alum is reportedly headed back to SLU as HC. I think he had his name out there for other HC openings the last few years.

Quote from: NYHoopsGuru on July 03, 2026, 04:23:58 PMBabo -

Can confirm, the news is true. Chris Down's Sr, upon the graduation of Chris Downs Jr, switched over to the women's side of things. He will be taking the reins of the Saints Womens basketball program. In the meantime, Riley Naclerio - an obvious choice and one of the SLU greats - will be the interim for mbb. Interesting to see how this plays out.

Thanks.  Why the "interim" tag?

I saw an unconfirmed report that Riley Naclerio, WPI Asst. and SLU alum, was headed back to SLU.  Do they have a HC vacancy?
