'cuz he had heard I was an alum and immediately we were talking BC and who he was looking at in the SoCal local hoops scene. A fun, genuine guy. (Loyola was about to win the CIF Hoops Championship and Joe was checking us out--and was a close freind and college teammate of LHS Coach Jamal Adams.)<br /><br />Joe Jones is a very impressive person--someone who was happy at Chestnut Hill and was key to this year's BC picks from California and so, it looks like we've just lost someone who was making a significant impact on our program on and of the court. Happy for Joe--bummed for us, though. Go Eagles--Ever Onward.mmasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10069140509176448295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-18933567232617883982011-06-25T14:51:53.591-04:002011-06-25T14:51:53.591-04:00"BC should try some sort of program where oth..."BC should try some sort of program where other schools adopt bc's football team, or something similar"<br /><br />What school other than Fairfield, St Joe in Philly and maybe Stonehill would be interested in this?

They say he stagnated quite a bit with his defense still being good though not great Nd being useless on offense. Minutes are available at the back-up 1 and 2. He'll have a chance to play it's just up to him to make the best of it.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090233142881588399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-81670600071077634052011-06-24T11:34:09.674-04:002011-06-24T11:34:09.674-04:00Why does every commentator assume that Sefolosha&#...Why does every commentator assume that Sefolosha's minutes are untouchable? He was a nonfactor offensively in the playoffs. With Jackson's length, he could become a comparable defensive player, but also have the ability to score. I think there are more minutes to be earned in OKC than many assume.HUGEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546394297087320369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-59575625970919738672011-06-24T10:45:32.519-04:002011-06-24T10:45:32.519-04:00Don't forget some guy named Durant in '07....Don't forget some guy named Durant in '07.<br /><br />All the best to Reggie.

I don't know how Donahue was able to convince him to lead a head gig for an assistant role in the first place.<br /><br />Anyway, I hope this leads to us playing BU. I'd always rather play BU/Northeastern/Harvard/Holy Cross over Stoney Brook, South Carolina Upstate, or Long Island U.<br /><br />I'm excited that Reggis is going to a good team. Also, it's a feather in our school's cap to have another first rounder. I hope he can make a big impact.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852682232912278307noreply@blogger.com
