Here's hoping that Tony can pull off something like Deon Sanders seems to be doing in college football at Colorado....putting together a largely revamped roster with a lot of transfers and surprising the pundits!

Duquesne and Loyola the top 2? I'm not placing too much stock in this.

Can anybody explain the "Talent" and "trans" columns?

Talent = Projected Effective Talent
Trans = Transfer Points

Talent = Projected Effective Talent
Trans = Transfer Points

Why is Duquesne’ Talent score 0 then?

Doesn't make sense, for sure.

Analytics have gone WAY TOO far. Play the games and let's see what happens.

Just a heads-up: A10talk is just beginning to roll out their individual team previews starting with #15 URI:

2023-24 Atlantic 10 Team Preview: Rhode Island

15. Rhode Island Rams Last Season: Certainly not the start that Rhode Island fans had envisioned when they hired Archie Miller, but just about everything went wrong for them. Between a meddling amount of injuries, inconsistencies on the floor, and — from a distance — a lack of culture building...

Not sure if he's on a one-a-day plan, but after staring at the same 4 GW stories on the home page for the past couple of weeks, anything different is welcome !

Here's the next A10 talk team preview: #14 Davidson.

2023-24 Atlantic 10 Team Preview: Davidson

14. Davidson Wildcats Last Season: Given the circumstances newly minted head coach Matt McKillop was working with, last season went about as well as it could’ve gone for Davidson in a transition season. There were some residual effects of the reigning regular season champions: Foster Loyer...

Apparently, he's on a one-a-week schedule. At this rate, he'll get them all done right around the time the first conference game is scheduled. Gives him time to see how some of the teams are doing in the non-conference part of the schedule.

The Almanac picked Mason to finish 12th … even without Haynes and Newton, pretty sure that’s way too low but whatever. Opinions are like assholes until the ball goes up.

Did they announce Haynes and Newton are out? Must of missed that.

No just assuming based on other waiver denials

Let me guess, they picked St Joes to win the league. lol.

Last nite Howard had a State of the Men's BBall Program on Zoom;
Georgetown will host theirs next week;
dont know about American, GWU and MD doing one.
any one want to push this idea for GMU?

The 2 oldest Wiliams brothers from DC will now be Grad Transfers at Howard, with the oldest being the Team Captain
The youngest brother is a HS Senior and just signed with Georgetown, He is supposed to be the best of the 3.
Seth Towns - 8th year redshirt senior (that is not a typo), former Ivy League Player of the Year and former Ohio State Buckeye is now on the Howard Team. I hope he makes it through the season without an injury.

BTW, IMO, you cannot call yourself a fan of the College Game until you have seen at game at an HBCU. The only college bands in the country that can give Doc Nixand the Greeen Machine a run for their money!!!
