Jerry - SHU player reunion
- Thread starter Halldan1
- Start date
Oh What I'd give to have a Bayonne Taty or Charles Manga today...
Great idea! And quite the list he got to come back!
Hope it remains an annual event...and continues to grow
The sad part is with the current free agency environment in college basketball, these types of things won't happen anymore. If you are Femi Odukule, you would be criss crossing the country every week to attend these things...lol

This is John Yablonski's idea.
No one in SHU thought of this?

Yes, still amazing to me that the school said nothing about 4 alums coaching in Newark last week.
The athletic department has attempted something similar in the past but I’m not sure what kind of effort they really put into it. Overall, alumni outreach has never been a strong suit of the university. If it was our alumni giving would be a hell of a lot better than it is.
It's a great thing, but we have to turn even a positive into an indictment of the entire University. Obviously, this group of guys (and more that couldn't make it) feels enough connection, with the school or with each other, to come back.
C'mon, Ivy! The much maligned Bayonne Taty and Charles Manga? Those are the two you select from that list?
i say alumni is also to blame for alumni giving rates
Lol was trying to be funny compared to our talent today..
As far as the event itself, it’s also the type of stunning lack of common sense that is accepted at this school. They should promote it all over social media have a campaign with flashbacks, a cool thing, some of pride and content.
This is low hanging fruit.
So, Ivy has me thinking of which two players I would take off the list (realizing that most of them would help us in some way) and put in our starting lineup. The first is a no-brainer for me - the best big on the board - Anthony Avent. Then I debated between point guard or shooting guard before ultimately settling on the shooter, Dan Callandrillo.
By the way, looking forward to seeing the reunion tomorrow! Great memories.

Manga had a decent season as a Senior starter in Orr’s first season. Definitely would be an upgrade to our current situation. Think he had a great game when we nearly upset #1 Duke in Maui and lost by 1.
