95 is fair, perhaps even generous. Agree if you add the others we'd make a jump. Agreed. Fingers crossed on waivers. Even without them we are the hands down favorite, though.

That seems obvious to us, but as Guy has pointed out on Twitter, all the so called bracketologists are picking Rider and making them a bad seed, which means these guys all think we are not a top 100 team, and not that close to being one. Not sure what they are thinking.

If Ortale and Weiss are not on scholarship, I count only 12 scholarship players on the roster. Whereas we are allowed 13 by NCAA rule, are we still looking to add a player?

Not sure what they are thinking. I think they look at the fact that Washington and Thiam have not been ruled eligible yet. Rider imploded last season, but they bring back a lot of talent, including three guys that have previously made All-Maac teams (Scott, Vaughn, Jordan). They also have one of the best returning bigs in the MAAC in Marshall. They also have solid bench pieces returning as well as a very good recruiting class.

Yes, bringing back players who have lost in the quarterfinals two years in a row is a great reason to pick them to win the conference tournament.

Rumor has it, the defending champs r bringing back 4 starters, just sayin

Mr. McNeil has some hops!! 42.5 vertical. Highest running vertical at this year's NBA combine was 43". NO I am not saying he's a NBA player, but I think it's a safe bet he will be challenging Amayo for poster dunks. http://instagram.com/p/B04al9PgJM3

Let me re-phrase the question. Am I wrong on the allocation of scholarships or do you think another player will be added to the roster? Might we hold the scholarship for 2020/2021?? Would be interested in your thoughts...

Would be interested in your thoughts... There is one scholarship remaining. There are still a few recruits out there Iona could target. Could be the staff is hoping to hear soon about the waivers. If both waivers get approved probably best to hold the scholarship for a possible mid year transfer
