Well with everyone appearing on campus, it looks like (on paper at least) that this new head coach and staff should get some backslappin for holding firm on 3 AM recruits and getting a few of their own ...
Way to Go!

Agree! I think Anthony Grant has gotten off to a masterful start. In fact, I made a comment to a friend the other day indicating that at this point, I actually prefer Anthony over Archie, as good as he was and as much as I liked him. I think Anthony will take another step in elevating the program. The coming year will be challenging with the loss of the seniors, but I really do like the course we are on.

It'll be very interesting to see the style change now with CAG along with all the length the roster has now. 8 players 6'7" or taller.

When I was a freshman back in '72 Founders was the destination for athletes. Where are these B-ball frosh put up and are they in singles or doubled up? I have a friend that is a ND grad and he claims that freshman athletes room with regular students. Part of their "bonding" scenario.

Basketball freshmen live in Marycrest. Not sure, but believe they have roommates.

In 1994 they had singles. I lived on the floor with Ryan Perryman and Rodney Horton in Marycrest. I'm sure nothing has changed in 23 years.

It's kind of odd how many of our followers could not accept the fact that Matej was coming to Dayton to play basketball. When he takes the floor someone is going to say, "How do we know that is really him?".

I couldn't agree more and thought this many times. He signed his LOI after Grant became coach, he wasn't going anywhere else.

I don't know that anyone doubted he was coming after he signed, but plenty of fans doubted he was coming here after AM left (prior to signing LOI).
I don't know that they were completely unjustified in their line of thinking. He was the least solid of the commitments (hadn't signed anything yet), we had already lost other guys, and at one point he hadn't even heard from the new coaching staff.
We are all thrilled he is here. But to sit here at this point and give us the "I knew it all along" speech is entertaining. Matej didn't even know it for sure...he said that himself. So not sure how you knew.

Brooks Hall lived in a single on my floor in Marycrest back in 1999-2000. He played Goldeneye or Mario Kart with us from time to time. Cool guy.

Do we know 100% that he passed the clearinghouse? He might have to go the Kostas route despite being on campus.

You are easily entertained. That's an attribute. There was enough doubt in him coming that he rightfully did not belong on your list for quite a while. However there was plenty of intel that would indicate pure negativity on him coming was out of line as well. Some posters wrote him off really early and had no basis.

For the summer session, this is likely. the dorms are generally closed for the summer except for camps and conferences.
For fall semester, the newcomers will move into some dorm.
When the morons were caught pillaging Marycrest, didn't they claim to be looking for Big Steve's room? I think he was in Marycrest.

I believe you're right on all three things.
I'm guessing the university makes a big deal about wanting them to be part of the freshmen class and the university so they make them live in Marycrest. They probably want them to do all that silly orientation stuff etc. They really should just let them live in the same place the rest of the team does and stick the most straight and narrow RA next door to them. Also Devin Davis can pop by to check up on them more than he would the other players.
My only other question is if UD is really going to make 21 year old Svoboda live in Marycrest with a bunch of 18-19 year olds. At least with the other freshmen I can somewhat understand the university wanting them living there, but Svoboda will spend all his time going on beer runs for the rest of the dorm if he does.

Marycrest? I'm so old that was a female only dorm in my day!!! Wait, I'm not old, I turn only 50 tomorrow!! Oh, I received my AARP card application in the mail, I guess that means I am old. But guys in Marycrest? That's just wrong to this old man!! When I spent a night in Marycrest, the secondary part of the fun was avoiding getting caught!
