Personally, I think this will be good for the team. Agreed... you can look at this from two angles... the P5 will poach from the high mid-majors... but the high mid-majors will also poach from the MAC, MAAC, others... the fact is that it takes decades for a high mid-major (i.e. Gonzaga) to consistently land 4-star and 5-star players, so we have to keep doing it Schmidt’s way until we get there.

From our own recruiting this year, teams will also be able to get players from Power 6 conferences, which in past have not been available consistently.

This seems to be the popular theory, yet personally I have been doing some head scratching looking at where some of these players jump up to or fall down to. From D2 players going to high majors to P6 guys dropping to low, perennial losing D1s. Realize Covid related family matters may play into this but it is still strange.

Case in point - the kid from Marquette transferring to DUKE. Strange times indeed ... That said, I like what Coach Schmidt and staff are doing. The key - as always - will be the chemistry that is formed between the new guys and the IRON 5 ... Have we vetted the new guys enough to insure nominal transfer-out activity going forward ? Based on what I have read - Karim, Quadry, and Duro all seem to understand and have bought in to the "BONA experience" ... Time will tell.

That is impressive. Richmond will no doubt be a TOP 2-3 pre-season A-10 pick with those veterans returning. Sounds like Dayton has landed some prize talent as well, with VCU & St. Louis tough as always. I would expect 3-4 teams from the A-10 in the Dance next year.

Why I keep stressing that we can't assume current roster will take the A10--other good teams, much longer schedule, ,and we may have injuries or transfers. Why we still need to add at least one more key bench piece for THIS year and worry about future later--especially with the transfer rules and at least one or more seniors staying for fifth year. Must add for this year especially since don't know if #8 and #9 guys right now, though talented, will be playable this year.

Good stuff as always Chuck ... This kid looks like he is for real. Do we have a solid line on this guy or are we "one of many" at this point. Man - what a great collection of talent we are accumulating ... Perhaps we can have our own version of the Ernie & Bernie show - The "Dalen & Jalen" show ... Hahahaha

totally agree, I looked at the video again that bonnie fanatic 508 had posted yesterday, Dalen Ridgdal is an unbelievable talent. If Dalen commits to St Bonaventure, he'll get minutes, he's just too good a player. With theexception of Jalen Adaway, we have no other sf on the roster, and Jalen is really more of a big guard. I believe Dalen in strong enough to even play some minutes at the 4, or you could also play him along with Karim and that would still be a strong front court. I am hoping that our staff can make the case, be a part of a top 25 program, not a program that says they are going to get there. Come get the kind of coaching that will enable you to reach as far as you can dream. You'll be surrounded by guys that life yourself, are in this to become the best basketball player you can become. This is about training and getting a good education, by choosing Bonaventure everything else is secondary. Look what's happened to small forwards who have come to Bonaventure, a guy named Dion Wright from California, made himself into an All A10 player, he was succeeded by a guy named Denzel Ward, who earned top 6th man in the A10 , followed by LaDamian Griffin from Florida, who earned most improved player in the A10, LaDamian, combined with Courtney Stockard, another small forward, who earned All A10 honors and led the Bonnies to the NCAA tournament where they beat UCLA in 2018. Dalen, you have the potential to surpass all these guys because it's clear you have the drive to be great.
