A Bonaventure commitment announcement, before social media and before the Bonnies were a relevant basketball team again, used to be an understated affair. The school would issue a press release to announce the new recruit, the local newspaper would acknowledge the news with a few paragraphs and most fans wouldn’t see or think about the player until November…
Wednesday’s release was good to Bona Nation: Bonaventure is scheduled for 11 televised games, its third straight year in double-digits. The Bonnies will be host a Friday night contest on ESPN2 for the second straight year…

PHILADELPHIA – La Salle University head men’s basketball coach Ashley Howard has announced the addition of Boston University graduate transfer Cheddi Mosely to his team’s 2018-19 roster. Mosely will be eligible to play for the Explorers immediately.
“We are excited to add Cheddi Mosely to the La Salle basketball family,” Howard said. “Cheddi is an experienced winner who brings great pedigree and a winning mindset to our program. We are looking forward to having Cheddi join the Explorers this season.”
As a freshman, Mosely was a Patriot League All-Rookie Team selection after shooting nearly 40 percent from three-point range. The 6-3 guard scored 20 points on 8-of-13 shooting against Lehigh and had at least three made three-pointers on nine separate occasions.
The following year, the Jersey City, N.J. native finished second on the team and eighth in the Patriot League in scoring at 13.3 points per contest. Mosely reached double figures 21 times, including a career-high 26 points against Binghamton. He ranked 10th in the conference in free throw shooting (77.7%) and 13th in steals (1.1 spg).
Mosely played in BU’s first two games of 2017-18, tallying 12 points on 5-of-9 shooting against Northeastern in the season opener before a knee injury sidelined him for the remainder of the year…

In addition, the season included a 13-game win streak, which was the longest for the program since 1970…
The dog days of summer will keep the Bonnies waiting, but the NCAA did shorten the lull by approving an earlier start to the college season. SBU’s current season countdowns stand as follows: 46 days until the first day of practice (Sept. 24), 84 days until the exhibition game against Alfred (Nov. 2) and 89 days until opening night against Bucknell (Nov. 7)…
