First, I am not a UCSB or LMU fan .......but as background. I use to pay a ton of attention to high school recruiting but I don't have (or make) as much time and my interest has gradually diminished over time and especially with NIL.

UCSB and LMU are probably included because of the historical connections between the Oakland Soldiers AAU program and those schools. In fact, UCSB has brought in at least one 4 star Oakland Soldiers recruit directly (Amandou Sow) from high school and others via transfer from the Soldiers. LMU has brought in multiple people from that program and they are being coached by Stanley Johnson (previously asst at Marquette, ASU, Utah, Drake, CSUN). Also, these are "local schools" and recruits often will go to "open gyms" with their players. Thus, there is incentive to keep the local school on your list.

Now, UCSB"s recruiting success was predominantly before NIL so everything changes. I don't know if UCSB and LMU are willing to spend as much as the big boys, but I do know UCSB spent substantial money to keep Ajay Mitchell (Knick's 2nd round pick this year) and spent (wasted) money on Yohan Traore (freshmen year at Auburn, then UCSB and now SMU) last year.

Also, a 4 star player out of high school would might get 25-30 mins per game there as opposed to 15-20 mins per game in the Big East. If they succeed, then watch out transfer portal.

Well stated. Also for context, I'm not as jaded over NIL but my interest waned keeping up with the Big 10/12 and conference realignment getting ridiculous with how schools are recruiting players (as weird as that sounds). IMO, the lines are blurred when it's a financial game. In theory, what's to stop a McDonald's AA from going to a D3 school as long as the check clears.

I still think you have to go after some of these high school kids. Either you get the kid that blows up leading the team to the tourney and transfers out OR the boomerang that brings the kid here after it not working out the 1st time around

Trenton arena has little action nowadays

I believe it hosted 2 nec tournaments and a maac tournament in its first 4 or 5 years. Outside of the hs hoops event that would come every year they had a echl team with devs affiliation for about 15 years. Also believed it hosted womens ncaa twice. I guess music performance remain going there but not great big ones.

I think shu played rider there 1 time.

True, but I think that Trenton has unique economic challenges that don't exist, at least to that extent in suburban Essex County. The arena also doesn't have a long-term tenant. SHU would be a anchor tenant here and I do believe it would attract events that might be too small for the Rock but perfect for a smaller arena, such as pro wrestling, MMA, concerts, high school and college basketball, etc.

A potential model could be the DC Entertainment and Sports Center which hosts the DC WNBA and G-League teams, capacity 4200. It is owned by DC government but exists in partnership with Monumental Sports which owns the arena, Wizards, and Capitals.

To see Waltz just blow off the reporter’s question and walk away was sickening. If I saw someone on the right blow off a question like that I would say the same thing.

Team Trump is doing a terrible job of making these people talk. Kamala and Tim don't win on the issues. They win on Trump beating himself. In a nice scripted speech with no specific question Kamala was able to play both sides of the fence at the DNC on this issue. Get asked a question and she's royally screwed. She will lose one side. She will either lose the far left nutjobs who support Hamas or she will appease them and lose the moderates. I think she needs both groups to win.

I think if they were able to get this under control, Harris would win in a landslide. Unfortunately at some point she’s going to have to answer about these actions without talking of ideals of being against antisemitism but also for Palestine. She needs to grow her base because she’s either going to lose pro Israel voters or the far left when she has to talk about specific situations like the one you mentioned.

6,000 would be the sweet spot. That's about where St. John's and Villanova are on campus. Really, this is the type of game that should be played on-campus, with major non-conference and weekend conference games being played at The Rock.

I do think that the school should at least explore the possibility of a public-private partnership with Essex County for a renovation of South Mountain Arena or building a 5000-10000 seat arena somewhere else, ala what RU is doing with Middlesex County for baseball. I can't think of another county that has been as active in building parks and attractions than Essex County, it's not a totally unrealistic scenario to think they might want to build their own small arena like Trenton has.
