As we have wrapped up another season, and I begin building our recruit list for the next one, I took a look back at how our known recruit & transfer list of athletes performed for their teams this year.  The table below shows what percent of each of the 4 categories came from players on our list:


                                       
Team   Incoming   Recruits    Minutes    Points    Rebounds    Assists
Adrian   FR  10.1070.13  0.067 0.104
---   ---  ---------  --- ---
Albion   FR  70.0780.05  0.072 0.065
---   ---  ---------  --- ---
Alma   FR  70.1150.159  0.072 0.14
---   ---  ---------  --- ---
Calvin   FR  20.020.012  0.018 0.023
Transfer  10.0960.079  0.061 0.074
All  30.1170.091  0.079 0.097
---   ---  ---------  --- ---
Hope   FR  50.2470.271  0.17 0.222

Transfer  80.5580.569  0.426 0.573
All  90.5970.593  0.488 0.603


In addition to that, I did the same table for those players leaving after this season (graduates or transfers out):

Team   Leaving   Minutes    Points    Rebounds    Assists 
Adrian   0.1420.1930.122   0.086

Looks like the Johnnies lost out on the Jett Feeney sweepstakes.  https://www.twincities.com/2026/03/09/gophers-add-moorhead-quarterback-jett-feeney-to-2027-recruiting-class/

Maybe he'll ride the bench for a couple of years and then follow his brother to Collegeville.

My eldest daughter works at Johns Hopkins.  Never met Johnny.

Quote from: el_jefe_90 on Today at 11:54:27 AMBack to Endicott having to go to IWU, great explanation as to why! Funny thing is, the hockey teams aren't hosting this weekend, so they could have hosted men's basketball!

Men's ice hockey got a bye and is hosting on Saturday, March 21st. Women's ice hockey is going to Hamline. Seems like a lost opportunity for the Gulls.

Unfortunately, Endicott had to make that decision on whether or not they wanted to host an NCAA basketball tournament game on the weekend of March 14 back in the middle of February when the paperwork for the hosting bids were due.  Given the possibility that they could also be in a position to host women's and/or men's ice hockey that same weekend, Endicott may have chosen to play it safe and file bids just for hockey for that weekend, not knowing in advance the position of both hockey teams.  Hindsight is 20/20.   
I guess they did they not realize they could still turn it down if they got that far. I heard same thing happened last year at Trinity for 2nd weekend, but they got lucky as none of the 4 teams filed, so NCAA went back at Trinity and asked if they wanted it since they were the highest seed.
