Will Joyce stick around for a year 2? Nice run for the rookie coach.

Seven weeks earlier Elder had beaten Ignatius by 15 in Cincinnati. The Wildcats win the rematch when it really counted
Who is Buckner?
6’1” point guard. Guard positions are absolutely loaded in that class between these 3, Martin, Ellis, and Lawless. There is good height in the lower classes as well with the sophomore Springer and some tall incoming freshman (including the 6’7” DE on the freshman football team).Height and position?
BnG, agree with all your points above, although I believe Curry is no longer at the school.There's a lot of talent in the bball program - add Bryson Curry (soph) and Brandon Webster (Jr) to the list of guards + Tristan Marshall (Jr) and Bobby Starck (Jr) to the list of bigs
Those 6'1" and 6'2" freshmen are likely to grow several inches over the next 2-3 years.
Also for example, Maruca (a Jr) was listed as 6'5" on last season's JV basketball roster and he's now listed at 6'6" on the soccer team roster this fall. Hope he's ok after getting hurt near the end of the soccer match vs. St X on Sunday.
Looks like Buckner played only 2 games last year as a freshman at Independence HS (in the state tournament). His father Greg was hired as an Asst Coach by the Cavs last fall and so it appears the family moved to the Cleveland area then. Greg Buckner was 6'4" when he played at Clemson and during his 10 years in the NBA. So, I imagine Ace has some growth to come. The thing with being a son of an NBA coach is how long will he be around? Greg Buckner is close with JB Bickerstaff and so his tenure will depend on Bickerstaff's - hopefully 3 more years!
I imagine that there will be a lot of height in the program as kids grow. What is exciting is their athleticism and bball skills.
Coach Cam will ensure their focus on defense. Exciting times ahead!
I thought St. Ignatius doesn't allow transfers after freshman year, with the exception being if its from a Jesuit school. Does Bucker fall under that scenario?There's a lot of talent in the bball program - add Bryson Curry (soph) and Brandon Webster (Jr) to the list of guards + Tristan Marshall (Jr) and Bobby Starck (Jr) to the list of bigs
