I’d say Neptune is in serious trouble. He ain’t in Rose Hill anymore. Can’t lose to Columbia

Nova culture is gone. Maybe inevitable and Wright may have seen this coming, but Neptune appears to have totally abandoned the HS recruit foundation and has heavied up on Transfers who just happen to be primarily motivated by $. That’s now how Nova built their Natty teams.


Neptune will likely lose the job after this year if they don’t make the NCAAs again, but whoever takes over the program from there needs to get back to the Nova culture which was primarily built on talented HS players who wanted to get developed and play into the Nova way so to speak.

You know the old saying you don't want be the guy who follows a legend. You want to be the guy who follows the guy who follows the legend.

A good Villanova is good for the big east.

I don’t know if it’s culture, that Neptune isn’t a good coach, or both. I hate rushing to judgment, but he massively underachieved last year with talent. If this isn’t an early season “hiccup” and Nova massively underachieves again, I can see them looking to make a change.

The one area of disagreement I have with your post is the view that the Nova transfers are “primarily motivated by $”. How are their kids any different than ours or anyone else for that matter?

Dixon and Longino are from the old Wright model and they have a number of freshman who were good recruits like Hodge. So I’m not sure if they have fully abandoned the continuity and development route, and they had guys last year who fit that mold as well.

I just think Neptune may be a problem.
