Who's the best team on the schedule on paper? Have seen previews that Arkansas could be a top 25 team

Who's the best team on the schedule on paper? Have seen previews that Arkansas could be a top 25 team And that game is at Arkansas. Granted Arkansas is no Kansas, but that sounds like the toughest opponent at this point, not taking matchups into account.

In continuing early season MAAC predictions....Latest....LINDSY'S magazine..... 1. SIENA 2. IONA 3. ST. PETER'S 4. QUINNY 5. MANHATTAN 6. MARIST 7. RIDER 8. FAIRFIELD 9. CANISIUS 10. NIAGARA I did not miss MONMOUTH--I did not see them listed....I would put them just ahead of Fairfield. They will win a few games this year..... What's with Manhattan...? I still don't see the infatuation with Siena, but their site is really blowing their horn...You would thing they were one of the nations Top 25....Am I missing something. A.J. again 1st player picked in all MAAC listing..........I think his father once had a 30 point season.... As expected, I am still picking the GAELS, but am very concerned about as of now, our height along with the question marked patch work bench........

OT, my concern in the MAAC is Manhattan, but Iona coaches do like Siena, and while I don't expect them to finish in the "Top Three" in the regular season, playing the tourney on their home court makes them a team that could steal, with a little help from the League office, the tournament.

Don't recall the board ever being this quiet so close to the start of practice. Has anyone seen any pickup games recently?

Super, thanks for the links. The VCU's, Butler's and Gonzaga's- all the high mid-majors have to follow the same model. They very rarely will get a legitimate shot at a top-100 recruit, so it should be expected we will not also. Having Norvel Pelle commit to us seemed too good to be true and it was. The JUCO's will become increasingly the recruiting hotbed with the difficulty of high school athletes to qualify. Cluess and Grasso were ahead of everybody in the MAAC on this. Excited to watch the improvements in our returning players this year as Cluess has shown he can develop talent. Enjoy the current state of college basketball while it lasts, because change is coming. When the major conferences start changing the rules, because of money, the game will change. Truly sad.

Thanks 05! Just as I expected, FGCU game is 12/23 @ 2:00. Too bad! Would have loved to have shown them a full Hynes for effect and continuation of series. Dec 20-Jan 4--Five games during holidays (4 away)--unfortunate. @ Manhattan 10:00 PM--must be an ESPN game @ Marist 9:00 PM ??Manhattan- tba--hopefully another ESPN game SPU-March 1-trap game
