MBB: NESCAC

D3Bball, I've seen six recruits for Trinity and one transfer, am I missing one?  Even as is, a really loaded incoming group; if they keep them together (nor a sure thing anymore with recruits at that level) they should form the nucleus for another long run of excellence for the Bantams.

Amherst gets Bohdan Biekietov, a transfer from F&M (who started at center for a very solid team as a FY) at a huge position of need:

I saw him play in person against Marymount, and between that and based on his stats, I'd say that he is a huge, physical, old-school center without much of a perimeter game. He will definitely help Amherst as a rotation big who is primarily a screen-setter and rebounder, but I wouldn't expect a ton of scoring, at least not right away. 

Interesting to see Sears use the transfer portal for a second-straight season.  Trinity, Conn and Amherst seem to be the three NESCAC schools most willing to pursue hoops transfers right now.

Cool to see former Hamilton star Matt Hart promoted to GM and Director of Player Personnel at Virginia. (This past year he was UVa's director of analytics.)

So Amherst finally ends up with a center from Ukraine after all
