Hoops news - MU gets a player for 2007... and more football

Monmouth men's hoops has received a verbal from James Hett, a six-foot point guard from Monsignor Farrell High School in Staten Island which he led to a 21 - 5 record and a second straight League title last season as a junior. According to NJHoops.com Hett was MVP of the championship game with 22 points and 6 assists and for the season he averaged 13.8 ppg.

I'll have more on Hett later Thursday..Right Now MU has just one point guard in the system..Mike Shipman..though Whitney Coleman played some there last year. John Bunch is said to be re-habbing Ok from surgery earlier this summer.

Watched MU fball practice for a while today...before that talked with frosh Joe Cella and Brian Callahan and coach Kevin Callahan for Thursday's story and a little with Brian Boland on Saturday's game with Morgan State.


I think it's safe to say we'll have a better idea of MU offensive capabilities after Saturday. Also, 6-5 senior wide out Shane Sharpley (ankle bruise) has been cleared to play. I think Dave Sinisi and Rob Lutz, if Callahan decides to use them in tandem, could be effective

After talking with coach Callahan about Morgan State I thought MU was playing the Chicago Bears, not the Morgan State Bears. I am sure..as he says..Morgan State has size and athletes and I know their QB puts up big numbers. But they were 2-9 last season and were beaten 30-2 by supposedly a mediocre Towson team last week. With their athletes they could pose a problem. I have to think MU wins this game though...


Steve Edleson will be hanging out with the MU fball team Saturday for "inside stuff" which should make for interesting reading...soo...as promised..double Press coverage of the home opener in Sunday's Press.

Watched the women's hoop team shooting around in the gym..they have some promising freshmen and almost the whole team back other than Niamh Dwyer who, of course, is a significant loss. I'll try to get over next week to watch the men shoot around.
