So both Johnsons are going to Delaware? Just a week ago they hired a new coach and now things are looking brighter for the Blue Hens. I think Delaware is returing a game to New Britain from last season, so this should be interesting.

But you know its a lot easier to recruit when your conference (CAA) has multiple NCAA bids and multiple NIT bids, including Final Four apperances in both tourneys. Come on, its not that Delaware has better coaches or more winning seasons than we have at Central in the past few years, its just a better conference and facilities!

Again, in my opinion Howie and his staff have always had an eye for talent, it just very hard convincing a good mid-major player to come to the NEC. I am still shocked at some of the very good talent we have gotten over the years with our limitations.

Did you know we were once in the same conference with Delaware and Towson? Around 1992 in the East Coast Conference(ECC). When the realignments happened back then CCSU was shut out by many schools and conferences and was left to be an Independent once again before joining the Mid-Con and then the NEC.

There is no reason we can't recruit and win games against the likes of Delaware, Towson, Niagara, Manhattan, Boston U., or Vermont. I mean look at the recruits Pikell is getting at Stony Brook! We at CCSU know he's a good recruiter, but look at the facilities and conference he has to show players compared to what Howie has.

This is a drum I beat a lot, but remember the coaches and staff can only do so much with our current resources and situation. If this isn't a sign of a needed change in conference affiliation and more funding, then I don't know what is.
