A little history and I'm hoping for some help from some of the older posters. But back in the "old days" when it came to learning about BB recruiting we were fortunate that Iona was ahead of it's time as they had a Sports Hot Line (914-633-XXXX). Possibly 6315. And on Easter Saturday, or so I think, I called and was told about the Grimes, Hargraves, Truesdale, Coleman class. Talk about making my day. And how great it would be if we got some similar news on this Easter Saturday. Thanks to Guy and sharkey we are spoiled with being kept up to date on possible recruits, and I really appreciate it. But that one phone call, about 45 years ago was something else. Does anyone else remember the Hot Line? Yes, it was a recording that included information/scores of all Iona sports run by the SID. It was called the Iona Hotline not to be confused with Gael Open Line which was a call-in radio program and during post-game wrap-ups.

Was it the brainchild of Pate Maneri?

Was it the brainchild of Pate Maneri? I believe it was Pete Manieri and as I recall he took calls after the games or I think it was. Whenever it was I enjoyed listening and once in awhile calling in.

From all the posts I’ve seen, this is the guy I’m most high on. He would be an immediate POY candidate in the MAAC…

Joe Munden FDU transfer committed to NIU yesterday. Seems like most of the FDU guys are looking elsewhere.

This is a D2 sharpshooter that was in the portal last year and he actually visited us. He stayed in D2, but has just hit the portal now.

Any ideas when we should hear some 'positive' recruiting news?
