Every so often I’ll come across something that seems interesting but doesn’t seem worthy of generating a thread for. Hopefully this thread will be the place for those type of items. Marist gave its 12th roster spot to a walk-on from the University of Tennessee.
I’m assuming the master’s degree is one offered at Tennessee. I doubt that Marist offers an agricultural leadership degree. ******************************** The other item I find unusual is it looks like the MAAC will host the ESPN Events Invitational tournament in Florida in November, yet not have any MAAC teams in that tournament.
What I find unusual about Manhattan’s OOC schedule is their non-D1 opponent is Felician, a D2 school. I don’t think any other MAAC school is playing a D2 opponent this season. They’re either facing all D1 opponents, or all D1 opponents except for one D3 opponent.
Depending on if you consider MSG to be a home court for St.John’s or a neutral site; Fordham’s OOC either is all home games and neutral site games or the one road game at MSG vs. the Johnnies and everything else is either a home or neutral site game. It’s usually schools like Duke and Syracuse, which specialize in having no true road games in their OOC.
I’m guessing Pitino had originally scheduled a game for Iona with Fordham, but Iona backed out of the scheduled game when Pitino went to St. John’s. For some reason, Fordham thinks it’s a good idea to belittle Iona on social media for Iona’s change of plans.

Obviously Fordham and Iona know what really caused the two teams to not play an OOC game against each other this season; but it seems on social media — there’s going to be conflicting explanations.
^ Do those 3 schools looking for payment, refer only to last season when we thought in the offseason that we were going to have a pretty good team —— or did they have the same policy this offseason? Also, if we offered a game in Mahoney last season because they are Jesuit schools but not part of a home and home series with those schools; I could see where they’d want some incentive to make a one time trip to Mahoney.
It appears to me that offering a home/away contract to opponents or even a 2 - away 1 - home contract to opponents is not enough of an incentive to get a quality O/O/C opponent to play at Mahoney. Traditional regional opponents, Jesuit school affiliations etc. mean nothing these days. Money talks and traditional affiliations walk. FF will need to provide $$$ if they want to secure a high level opponent at Mahoney. Why would the administration provide the funding incentive when they can practically fill Mahoney arena even with a crappy home schedule that does not even provide one marquee opponent? $$$ are all part of the mentality that IMO will ruin college sports. Big TV revenues, ridiculous coaches salaries , the transfer portal, NIL payments and pay to play are all part of the money mentality. Just a shame but the way it is!
Wow. 😐 Siena has joined a platform which will maximize player, coach and team performance. One of the platform’s clients is the Oakland A’s. The A’s are 34-90 so far this season.

Is this an analytics/modeling platform that basically performs the insights provided by Jonah Hill (Peter Brand) in Moneyball?
Wondering if anyone can clarify this. Former Iona player Daniss Jenkins will be on the St. John’s roster for the upcoming season. In the article Zagoria claims Jenkins got his degree from Iona this summer. Guy Falatico claims Jenkins’ degree was not from Iona. If Falatico is correct, does anyone happen to know where Jenkins received his degree from so he could transfer as a graduate student?
