Four months after its historic run, Saint Peter’s has a new coach, a new roster, and a new outlook CBB_Central on the aftermath of March’s greatest Cinderella:
on March 31 and brought assistant coaches Ryan Whalen and Rasheen Davis with him. Edert, Lee and Banks entered the transfer portal within seconds of each other on April 5 and eventually landed at Bryant, Missouri State and St. Bonaventure, respectively. Later that week, twins Hassan and Fousseyni Drame went in the portal, which led them to a new home at La Salle.
“What they were able to do here was incredible, so yeah, it’s hard to see them go elsewhere to try to, I assume, do the same thing,” Paul says. “We can talk to them until we’re blue in the face about the benefits of staying at Saint Peter’s and getting a Saint Peter’s degree … but sometimes, it’s going to happen no matter what [we say].”
“It was kinda sad, honestly, but we weren’t trying to think about that. We were just trying to have fun together,” Edert says. “Those days went by pretty fast.” Holloway, like Bill Belichick, is extremely detail-oriented and not worried about frills or fame. He and his family haven’t moved houses since getting the new job despite getting a pay raise thatfrom around $300,000 annually to approximately $2.4 million anually.He may not need a fancier home, but there’s no question his new job comes with resources Saint Peter’s could only dream of.
The same confidence that came through during March Madness echoes through Holloway’s voice now. The coach had a way of making the extraordinary sound ordinary when he’d address the media in press conferences that got bigger and bigger with each passing day in March. Seton Hall will never be the type of underdog Saint Peter’s was; Holloway seemingly“I’m used to this stage. I’m used to recruiting at this level. I know about it. I know how to do it,” Holloway says.
But as the faces of Saint Peter’s men’s basketball move on, the lesser-known people in charge of keeping the school relevant get to work. The monthlong period from mid-March through mid-April as the Peacocks advanced through the tournament and then found a replacement for Holloway would have been a scramble for any athletic department, let alone one with a staff as tiny as Saint Peter’s has.
This is where life at a small school differs from big-time college sports. Paul speaks of prioritizing investments in spaces used by general students like the pool to help the school boost enrollment. At a place like Saint Peter’s, the goal of building on a run like this isn’t just winning more games. It’s about growing enrollment and interest in a school that had little to make it stand out in the crowd just a few months ago.
But how long that bump lasts is dictated by the Peacocks’ on-court future. That’s why when Paul is asked what a successful 2022–23 academic year looks like for the school’s athletics in its first year after the run, she leads with one thing: win.
