Tuesday morning readaround
This morning's readaround looks to the future will recruiting news and a glance at a couple of Bucknell's upcoming opponents.

  • Lehigh has announced its three-man recruiting class, Brett Reed's first as head coach of the Mountain Hawks. One that Reed did not land is Westfield, Va. guard Maurice Hubbard, who says the bond built when Billy Taylor was recruiting him to play at Lehigh is behind his decision to follow Taylor to Ball State.

  • Another one that got away is 6-5 Mike Shanahan of Norwin H.S. in Western Pa. A two-sport star, Shanahan turned some heads in the summer when he announced he would give up football in college to concentrate on hoops. He made official visits to Bucknell and some other mid-majors. But when high school football season rolled around, Shanahan decided to stick with football instead. Now he has committed to play football at Pitt.

  • Looking ahead to the weekend, Bucknell will end a 12-day layoff for finals Sunday when it visits Wake Forest, which is currently in the midst of an 8-day finals break of its own. The Demon Deacons, under former Army coach Dino Gaudio, have struggled in the fall semester to get their running game in gear

  • Looking further ahead , Ohio, currently 6-2, with the losses coming at Holy Cross and at the buzzer to Temple, will visit Bucknell Jan. 2, Before that, the Bobcats have a stretch of big games followed by a 10-day break before their trip to Lewisburg.
