MBB: NESCAC

[NEhoops]

The challenge with transfers coming into the NESCAC is the transfer application deadline. 

The transfer portal will help streamline/expedite the process, but the deadline for some other schools is later in the spring/early summer, if they have one at all.

Nice late commitment to Williams, combo guard Devan Williams out of Milton Academy, who scored 2200 career points and is ranked 19th in MA by NERR. 

The Ephs really struggled to get scoring and playmaking from the backcourt last year after Alex Lee went down, with no guard averaging even 7 ppg, and between Williams and some other backcourt recruits who seem like capable scorers down the line, and some young guards who gained a lot of experience last year and should improve significantly, I expect the Ephs to have a far deeper and more explosive backcourt next season and into the future.

Civello to Dartmouth.

Colby situation not looking good.

I think the AD came in and decided to shake things up right away and it has backfired.

Saw this in business sometimes when a new CFO would come in and replace all the outside consultants and providers and it nearly always hurt the company

As reported here previously, it does indeed appear (based on social media) that ace recruit Nolan Ames has decommitted from Colby.  Rough last month for a Colby program that had seemed poised to take a major leap.
