Off-Season Procedures


Our recruiting class was ranked #66 in the country. Cincinnati had the #1 ranked class in the nation.

Our prestige level moved up a couple of points to 36.

I listen to 3 head coaching job offers, from Loyola Marymount, Alabama State, and Radford, but I decline all three offer.

Our scouting director, Stephen Gayton left for a position on the Chattanooga coaching staff.

We replace Stephen with 47 year old Kevin Mercurio. He is rated a 43 in scouting.

We have 9 OOC games to schedule this season, 7 of which can be at home.


In May we schedule: Liberty, Sacred Heart, Albany, Cornell, and Central Connecticut

In June we round out our schedule with: William & Mary, Nichols State, Cleveland St., and Cal State Fullerton


Recruiting begins in June, and we have 5 scholarships to give out this year.



As November rolls around we get an early commitment.

PG John Craven, from Rochester, NY, has committed to Colgate. John is a 4 star recruit. He has a great skill set for a point guard and look forward to another 4 star recruit coming to campus.
