Degnan has become the forgotten man since Carmody arrived. We'll need him to develop his skills going forward, especially by the time he's a Junior when all of our front line will have graduated. In the meantime, Steve Smith has finally gotten off the bench after sitting all year long.
I'm looking forward to see how Prep and Nolan do tonight in the SCC championship at Q.
Remember Kim Fisher and Joey D, who was the point guard and who was the 2 guard? take your pick....
Yeah, I remember, but do you? No disrespect stagal, but did you see them play? Joey D was THE point guard. And when he was out of the game, Rich Broggini usually backed him up. Kim Fisher was an undersized wing guard and a good one. Don't ever remember him playing the point.

I saw from game one till the last game and most in between; consider Joey to be the greatest Stag of all. Maybe not such a good comparison I was trying to make with a potentially awesome backcourt of Tyler and Tommy to Joey and Kim.....

We can only hope. That was an awesome backcourt with Flip Williams also.
Just home from Prep 80-49 win over Newtown, second round of CIAC tourney. They play down the street rival, Ludlowe on Friday. Tommy Nolan had a pretty good night, 16 points, and a handful each of steals, assists, and rebounds.
As I sat with nash and bridgeport last night at the Prep game, nash noticed that Matt Bahar didn't show up to the game as he usually has. nash wasn't sure what to make of that, he could have very well been at another game scouting or had another engagement, so not sure if it is related in any way to the current coaching situation.
The only reason I mentioned this is because nash's computer is still down or I'm sure he would have mentioned it himself. So, all credit to goes to nashville on this information.....
Sorry 79, game wasn't close from the opening buzzer. The final 70-48 could have easily been 90 if Prep wanted to run it up. Nolan had 11 along with some assists, steals and rebounds.
Alumni Hall was rocking, might have been a sellout crowd. Haven't seen that in a while........ Made me think of the olden days of Stag basketball. I think that Prep is primed to run since that devastating loss to Career. Just see that Hillhouse beat Ledyard in OT, 60-59. I'm guessing they play round 3 in the Arena on Wednesday. We did that last year against Greenwich in the semis. I've been told the Arena isn't booked for Wednesday so that would be a neutral court. The final would be either Hartford Public or Westhill. Personally I'd like a shot at Westhill and Livingston if we both get that far. Nolan and he are both ranked about the same in recruiting.
Stagal - Have not posted in a long time. Long time Stag Fan and local fan of FCIAC basketball. Was at Alumni Hall tonight. What an electric atmosphere. The Preppies had too much talent but your continued hype of T. Nolan is way over blown. He was the third best guard on Prep tonight behind Richie Kelly and Ryan Foley. He may turn out to be a nice player but right now I can understand the Red Shirt label. He's not that good. Also a bit of a Hot Head as evidenced by the debacle in last year's state championship game and him yelling at his own player's late in the game tonight. Most of his points tonight were in garbage time. He's not that good. Richie Kelly was much better tonight.

" along with assists, steals, rebounds," and plenty of turnovers & missed shots. ( tell it like it is ) ludlow was no match for what one ludlow fan called prep , the machine. place was sold out and juiced up, but, no, - - bahar was not there.
Ruggered, after listening to all of this hype about Nolan, I finally have the courage to speak out. I agree with you. I have seen him play, although without the frequency of others. If he were to come to Fairfield next year, he could play for us but only because we are less than mediocre. For most other Maac teams he would be a sub. When a team recruits a player from the suburbs, it takes a chance. Why do we not get more players from urban areas. Many of the great players who suited up for Fairfield have city backgrounds. Joe DeSantis, Kim Fisher, Flip Williams, Tony George, Jon Han, Mike Branch, Pat Burke, Jim Brown, Darren Phillip, Troy Bradford !Billy Jones to name a few. For us to be successful our recruiting must improve. But in the current circumstances that is not likely to happen.

I wish Tommy Nolan the best and we certainly need a successful talented guard.
That said, my initial observations of him were similar to Ruggerred. My first impression was what I read and heard which demonstrated to me a lack of sportsmanship. When I finally saw him play, I saw a very good HS guard. Please, I hope Stagal and Tommy prove both Rugger and myself dead wrong, but I'd hold off until he is competing at the D1 level before getting too excited.
He will be as good as some of the Stags guards we have seen in recent years, but the question that looms is will he be one of the greats.
Good luck Tommy. Hope you make all Stag fans proud in the coming years. I will be cheering for you.
