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.
