Agree with most of what you say, but:

1 - Not sure Ettiene will be the best player on the team next year. A little slow and possibly over-rated. Have to figure Witt as next year's star.

2 - The Coombs triplets would not help Fairfield. They are seeing little or no time at an inferior FDU.

Bob,

You might be correct about Etienne but as of now...in practice...she has been dominant.

Next years best players will be Beverly and Hood if Etienne is not....though freshman Sheaffer will have a lot to say about that.

Regarding the Coombs triplets...I was basically curious if Fairfield had recruited them...too bad they are not doing much at FD as they are a great story.

Do you know if Fairfield was involved with Pape??

Isbal, I defer to you as to UHart's next year's team. I just happen to like Witt a lot.
Don't know if FU was involved with Pape, but I would certainly hope so.
FU may have had feelers out with one or maybe two of the Coombs, but they were intent on playing together. FU had no need or room for all three.
OT - How's Adeleke doing? As a Hofstra grad and season ticket holder, I'm very familiar with his game. Think he just wore out his welcome.

[> [> [> [> [> Evaluation of Talent -- JoeStag, 08:59:27pm 12/07/05 Wed, [1]

I think the biggest thing that has to be questioned is our evaluation of talent.

We have signed most of our Women in the early signing period, meaning that we got the players we wanted..... but many of the players are not up to the talent of some of the top MAAC schools.

So this example of 6-1 Diana Delva choosing Hartford over Fairfield is a good as a few weeks before she verballed, we got a verbal from 6-1 Tara Flaherty who had similar stats (19pts, 16rebs nad 4 assists) as Delva.

Who is better of the 2 Girls????? I have no idea, but hopefully coach Nolan does, and that she focused on getting the right player. But its hard to beleive that we always picked the right players the last 4 years

Bob- Regarding Hofstra...They lucked into a real good find of another CT kid that left CT....Giddens...I think she is a junior now but she has really grown.

Adeleke- Obviously he had his problems with Pecora. The incident that was the final straw is not for internet fodder and purely speculation. I have met him on numerous occasions and have been impressed with his demeanor. He's actually majoring in phsychology which is somewhat of a paradox. As a baller....it is a pleasure to get his stats(20 pts 10 rbd) at the 5 position,which is quite rare (Hartford hasn't had those 5 stats since Vin Baker). His negatives are still the same as they were in Hoftsra...poor free throw shooter(though better rotation now)...not great hands...many points are off own misses...turnovers...though he has learned so far to stay out of foul trouble. Wish we had him for more than 1 year.He still keeps in touch with his Hoftstra buddies.

The AE misses you guys...though the CAA is definately a big step up in most sports. It will be interesting to see what happens after the next conference (Big east will lead the way) implosion in a couple of years.

Bob- By the way Hofstra has signed Sam Brigham 5-10 G from Simsbury CT for next season. In today's Hartford Courant.."Can not only run an offense,but can also be a pest on defense"
