Wow. I don’t begrudge his right to choose. The young man played well for us and showed a lot of promise. It’s hard to see him as an impact player at Nova. He will need to really tighten his handles and shooting. Really sorry to lose him. With him and a good incoming class, I finally saw a path forward for our program. He was a key part, though.

I wish they would publish what these transfers get in regards to NIL

Even better, put what they are getting next to their names in the game programs.

Getting poached by Nova. Awesome. This is the second year in a row that a coach we faced in the regular season season went on to steal our top talent. Really great trend here. I could have stomached him going home to play for Georgetown. This is just a slap in the face.

We opened our season at Iona when Pitino was there.

I agree completely. Now he gets to torment us for the next three years.

Ouch! I actually feel for you guys. I've been naive about the portal/NIL but I now agree that college basketball is off the rails. Double Princeton basketball legacy Jack Scott deciding to chum the waters with his 2.3 ppg and 2.2 rpg has pushed me over the edge. (Although I guess now I can go back to hating on his father for his reign of terror at Tiger Town.)

Under the new Big 6 format, we don't play Villanova every year

His mere presence on their roster will be torment enough.

Reasons to hate Villanova if you are a Penn fan- 1. They are the ones who started the breakup of the Big Five. 2. NCAA loss to them in early 1970’s 90-47. 3. Now stealing our best expected returning player.

My grandfather never got over that loss. He hated them until the day he died for it. Kept the starters in until the end.

Fortunately, I haven’t died yet but as one who was at that 1971 game, I’ve never forgiven them either (and don’t plan to).

I've heard conflicting things about it. But if that is true, does that mean we never play Temple, LaSalle or Drexel other than a possible Big 5 tournament final anymore? That would be terrible.
