His head coach at Fort Erie will be announced as a new assistant at Pacific soon. I hope he sticks to his agreement with Canisius, but these things have an outside chance of becoming complicated.

If you mean which coach, Clay Wilson has left. They also had an assistant pass away before games begun, so there are spots to fill on staff.

I remember when Myke Scholl passed away and then it looks like they hired Senque Carey from Long Beach St. correct? And then it looks like Clay Wilson just left - not to take another coaching job - he just left. Correct?

Also what do you know about Tristan Beckford's commitment to Arkansas St. now that it looks like Hodgson is going to get the UNLV job?

As far as I know, yes on Clay's undecided future.

3 Canadians (Adriel Nyorha, Tristan Beckford, Onyx Nnani) are committed to Arkansas State. Tristan and Onyx are UPLAY AAU guys, so with the deep connection between UPLAY head man Dwayne Washington & Hodgson, expect them to follow to UNLV. Beckford is a Fort Erie guy, but I suspect UNLV will pay him a lot more than Pacific. Not sure about Nyorha. Different AAU and from Ottawa (Zabo is from metro Ottawa area), so maybe there's a chance to get him. Committed guys usually follow the new coach, though.

Thanks. Are all 3 good enough to play at UNLV? Hodgson can get a different level of kid now.

Don't think Adriel is good enough. Tristan and Onyx have the potential to fit at UNLV, but does he want freshmen? I guess we will find out. He has a history of recruiting Canadians, so I'm sure he will have them on his first roster.

I know Canisius did offer Adriel early in the process. Good stuff. Thanks for your keen insight. I've appreciated your posts in the past regarding Canadian kids. You have certainly piqued my interest now as to your identity! Feel free to click the "Contact Forum Admin" link above to email me in the future for more private conversations.

Looks like UNLV got leveraged. Hodgson to South Florida.

Hodgson took the South Florida job, not UNLV. Tough to keep up!

This would be easier for Adriel no follow along with the others.
