He is not short on confidence, for sure! Said he would be still uncommitted this time next year. Interesting that CT super prospect Mustapha Heron (from my grammar school of course!) will be joining him on the Rens. Word is that he committed to Pitt early because his dad played with Slice. With Slice at St. Johns, could Mustapha decommit and join the party in Queens - I wouldn't bet against it! Mustapha, Rawle and Diallo would be a heck of a start - yikes!

OT: Tampa/St. Petersburg

M
My brother gets married this fall. He lives just outside Boston and is a huge Red Sox fan, and the Sox are playing in Tampa the weekend after Labor Day.

Seems to make a lot of sense to try to do the entire weekend in Tampa in his honor. Though I've heard great things, I've never been, other than through the airport once.

Anyone ever spent time down there? I'd appreciate recommendations on food, lodging, golf, and best areas to stay for a small group of guys (I'd say 6-8, absolute max). I don't think we'd want a full golf package, but one round at a solid course would be great.

Any other sites/experiences/etc. more than welcome as well. I know we had a few away games against USF in the past, and I'm hoping to draw on the board's wisdom. Thanks much in advance.

What year did they drop hockey as a Varsity sport?....when I played in the late 60's I think we were a club,but played in something called the ecac maybe?.....we played Rutgers,Lehigh,Lafayette,Bucknell,ocassionally a Military Academy and others.
We practiced at that tiny Radnor rink at the end of campus which was convenient,but was only about 170'x50'...so when we got on a regulation rink (like Cherry Hill),it felt like a 'lake"....I assume they still have a Club?,hope so.
