Game notes say Arnold coaching (as we highly expected) and McNeil has disappeared from the back pages with information on each player, yet he still is on the roster. Probably means he is gone. I remember in another thread, a knowledgeable poster (05 maybe) said McNeil would potentially be Iona's best player. What happened? Yes, clearly was way off on AJ. He was honorable mention All-American JUCO and had BCS offers. Thought he would be a big time player and was clearly wrong.

I am saddened to hear about McNeil if those reports are true. Never given an opportunity..

Here's why I have hope for Iona:
The rest of the MAAC.

No what I said basically is it’s early he will get more offers my opinion you’re clearly misreading. So you weren’t a fan & excited when AJ inked? Coaching staff was hyping him. All of the coaches! His vertical, shooting range,etc.So they have faith in IW but not McNeil jeez good grief not right at all to part ways

Guy, reference your post, above:
1. I agree with your take on Cashaw, as I posted in the Monmouth game thread. He deserves more PT. 2. I disagree about Risto for the following reason. He is the ONLY scholarship UNDER CLASSMAN on the team. We need him to develop.

Better have a stellar recruiting class next year that’s all I’m sayin’. No what if players . Bring in some shooters & ballers.

We've seen heralded guys come in and suck and unknown guys come in and become POY.

I greatly respect your opinion; you know what you're talking about. Still perplexed by McNeil, though. It's all messed up without Coach Cluess, I guess.

Like everyone else, I see the BIG need to bring in a strong recruiting class. Especially centers and power forwards. Just don't know how doable that would be with all the questions about the health of our HC. Out of necessity, it probably means international players.

Practice, you're talking about practice? P.S. With apologies to Allen Iverson

He is the ONLY scholarship UNDER CLASSMAN on the team. We need him to develop. Why? At least half our roster every year is comprised of JUCOs and transfers. If he leaves (or if he doesn't), we'll just bring in another big.
