[NU Sports] basketball?

[Brad Wilson]

I have said many times I don't believe in firing Carmody, I just don't see anything changing even when/if they do.
 
"If the recruits pan out." How many times have we heard that? I predict: as usual, one will be so plagued with injuries he's a non-factor, another will transfer because he wants to play for a team that can beat Cornell, a third will turn out to be a stiff and maybe the fourth will be an OK player, maybe. 
 
NU basketball has never in my memory "won the games it should." There's always awful losses. Penn State, which should be a win, isn't all that often. And the non-league debacles are killers. 
 
I hope for a long football season!!!

Having heard Jim Phillips at the NU Club of NY Sports Night in August (when he appeared with Fitz and Kelly Amonte Hiller) and his response to one or two queries about the futility of our Mens Hoopsters, I don't think that the AD will give BC a very long rope.  If he doesn't see real progress -- in the form of wins, and not moral victories -- my strong hunch is that he will wipe the slate clean and bring in his own guy.  On the other hand, if the recruits pan out, and if the team at least wins games it should win and pulls out an upset or two over the Big Ten powers or middle level squads, then BC will likely survive.  And I think that is how it should be.
