To be accurate, NONE of our defensemen was recruited before Foley came on the scene. Manson was the last of the Cronin recruits.
This thread has become a great midday diversion. It's more interesting than the often unreasonable "Fire Umile" posts, because when all is said and done, there will be some action taken.
Perhaps the rumored disagreement between Foley and Madigan was over $. Foley may have wanted/needed more for his newly enlared family. He also may have known or believed that he could get more elsewhere. This is strictly conjecture as I really have no special insight.
You folks have had a consistently solid program since Umile came in and turned things around. I enjoy watching them play, even though they usually find a way to beat my Huskies. Your only complaints, as I see them, relate to always being a "bridesmaid" and your ridiculous, confiscatory, bu like, ticket prices. At least at bu, you can drown your sorrows with a beer and a Nathan's hot dog.
You have a nice program. Whoever the ne AC is shouldn't change that very much. See you at Matthews in November. It wont be long, now.
