Steve Donahue was named St. Joseph’s head coach, taking over after Billy Lange steps down to join the New York Knicks’ player development team. Lange finishes with 81-104 in seven seasons and no NCAA Tournament appearances. Donahue arrives from Penn, promising Hawk Hill depth, culture, and top facilities as the program begins a new chapter.

The Hawks lose three transfers—Xzayvier Brown (Oklahoma), Erik Reynolds, Rasheer Fleming (Phoenix Suns)—while Derek Simpson and Anthony Finkley provide returning leadership. Exhibition season kicks off Oct. 25 vs Delaware, then Lafayette on Nov. 3, as fans eye a potential rise in Hawks’ fantasy-friendly depth and production.
