As most already know, Schmidt and Tim Kenney hosted a Zoom call to update Bona fans on how things are progressing during the off-season.
Not too much was said that would excite, but it looks like we are putting together are pretty solid OOC from what was told to us by Pappano and Schmidt.
The staff wants two P5 games and two buy games against mid majors who won their conference this past year. I assume the team will use the money from P5 game to get another high-caliber game on the schedule. The game against Yale was a great get. Pretty sure they finished top 50 last year, and return a lot of pieces from last year’s squad.
My guess is as good as any, but here’s my guess for the last buy for the home OOC: Colgate. They lose some pieces, but will hopefully be good again next year. Would ideally get a game against UNI, ETSU or Murray State, but Colgate still would be a good (and cheap) add.
A slate with Siena, Colgate, Yale and MTSU is pretty good and throw in games against Bradley(maybe), Little Rock(maybe), Buffalo and New Mexico and we are talking five maybe six teams that should be top 100. That’s as good of a schedule we’ve had in a long time.
The P5 games don’t do it for me, but if we use that money to improve our overall schedule, so be it.
What a get for the Paradise Jam Tournament to Little Rock after Colorado State dropped out. UALR was 21-10 last year and returns every single player but one benchwarmer. They will be one of the better teams down in the USVI.
Know it’s a way off, and it might not happen, but excited for the possible 20-21 schedule.
