Super, I thought that the attendance was pretty good, when you consider that there were VERY FEW students there. I was expecting that they would have ALL wanted to see how the HAC looked. And the team. As for alums, probably 3X or 4X the amount in previous years. At least that's the way I saw it. Should have promoted the free burgers and wraps. They would have been there

In reference to Cashaw. You couldn't make a valid evaluation, based on yesterday's scrimmage. All that I've read indicate that he is a PG. So I was surprised that he played on the same team as IW, who played PG for the entire game. We'll have to wait until Monday or Tuesday, when we might hear about IW's status to see how CC fits in. He looks like a strong kid, who was playing out of position.

The crowd was at the beer tent, over by the side entrance to the campus, the line was ridiculous to get beers.

A few thoughts: 1- More depth than in a long time 2-We are long and athletic,Agee,Mo,and Dylan give us an imposing front line. 3-Washington will be a major force,very talented who can really get to the basket! 4-Gist picked up right where he left off in the MAAC tourney. 5-EJ will be in the running for POY,he is my pick,also has taken on role of being SR leader,going for 4 titles. 6-A Ton of experience,we will be better on the road. 7-Perez and Ross will have more than their share of good games. 8-Great job on gym,better than I had hoped for. My prediction: 5-2,15-3, 20-5 going into tourney,we win our 5th straight ang go dancing 23-5,a 14 seed. Good seeing you yesterday! 20 MAAC games this year--not 18

Thought the attendance was very light. super, if you had the visual of throngs of instagram followers as I did, you're right. Otherwise, I thought attendance was noticeably better than past Meet the Gaels. The usual die-hard season ticket holders, plus lots of Trustee types, administrators and some clergy. Given all the constraints, incredible what the school managed to do with the Hynes Center. If there were a Nobel prize for architecture, whoever conceptualized this renovation should be nominated. Hopefully, they'll be able to leverage this skill with others who have venues with similar challenges. As for the team, agree with most sentiments and am praying for the waiver.

You have to remember this was an alumni event. The general public wasn't invited. This was the largest crowd for the meet the Gaels that I can remember. There were times in the past when attendance could be measured in dozens.

There were times in the past when attendance could be measured in dozens. Listed as part of Homecoming events and Goal Club announcements. Not talking just about scrimmage--focusing on opening of renovated arena celebration.
