I don't see y the opinion recruniting should be easier after winning 4 yrs in a row is defined as being spoiled or ledge life. Shouldn't winning help recruiting?

The most important recruiting tool we have is TC and the fact that we have more than two dozen players earning their living as basketball professionals around the world. And there isn't a high school or JUCO player who doesn't dream of being in the NCAAs. Don't think facilities are as important.

Iona has been winning for a decade with players we've mostly never heard of. I'm not worried. As long as we have TC, I'm not worried. Think of Rountree, Severe, Cassel etc.. We didn't get any of them as high school seniors , but we did get them at their most productive. Look at Casmir, nobody recruited him, he was lethal from three, got us to the NCAA tourney one year. As far as facilities go, I am in the minority , but I like our Gym. Cluess is something like 92-19 at Hines center. The only ones that should complain about the HAC is the opposition!!

I guess we are not happy unless we are bringing 9 newbies every year. So far, we may see Ortale, McNeill, Weiss and maybe a big in November. So who do you want to run off to make room for five more? Please don't answer that question.

Earlier post-not talking about “Gym.” U are talking weightroom, lockeroom, Coach's office.. etc. I haven't seen them in 25 years, then again last time I saw them it was Mulcahy and the building ended well before Spellman Hall, now they are nearly connected.

Please don't answer that question. Recruiting is far from over. According to "insiders", Ortale and Weiss are Walk-ons (though I don't know why Weiss is signing a NLI if he is a walk-on). If true that leaves 2 open scholarships. Cluess teams always have at least 5 new scholarship players on the court every season, as well as 1-2 kids transferring. As of now only McNeil and Ross will be new scholarship players on the court next season. Expect to see plenty of names posted here from media reports.

Frankie Policelli to Stony Brook. Iona offered him in HS. This is the type of recruit/transfer Iona should be getting. And yes I know all about their facilities
