VCU and Udee aren't the flag ship institutions, the league had parity and the top teams have changed over the years. UMASS, St Joe, URI, SLU, GW all have the potential to rise again. A10 will be about what it's been. Interesting take. UD loses 5 senior seniors so even the best coach in the conference was going to have trouble leading them to a top 3 finish. St Bonaventure, OTOH, returns the best backcourt in the conference. Richmond loses 2 key seniors but their young players are talented. They are going to be very good in 2 years. The top of the conference will look different, at least temporarily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah true I didn't consider Richmond they have potential. A10 is a balanced conference the programs rise and fall but the equilibrium of the conference is fairly constant. There's enough recruiting base and institutional commitment to basketball to maintain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsBeliever!!! Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Based on the coaching changes, there is no reason we shouldn't be top 3 or top 2 A10 next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could follow Archie and rebuild Indiana. Could be good we don't have to face him but I would very much like to have him even if it seems doubtful Am I missing something here, but wouldn't Kostas have to sit another year and lose a season of eligibility if he transfers from Dayton?

Trying to Transfer While Ineligible In Division I, a student-athlete who transfers while ineligible at his or her original school is not allowed to be given an athletic scholarship at the second school. If you are considering transferring, make sure you know all the academic requirements you have to meet not only to be eligible at your new school, but also at your original school. Your old school should be willing to help, especially in Division I where leaving ineligible will cost the school significant APR points.

3star_recruit Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Antetokounmpo would be better off staying in Dayton. The Flyers have made an enormous commitment to basketball and will make a good hire. This kid is a raw stringbean who didn't make any of the three all-state teams. He could develop into a monster in a league devoid of 6'9 skywalkers. In the Big 10? He would have to go to a bottom feeder to get minutes.

In their defense, any of those guys would've been a good hire for them, so at least they're focusing on good candidates. Also, the total may actually be at 5. Word the other day was that they were going to see if they could get Duquesne alum Keith Dambrot from Akron. That would've been a grand slam hire for them, but I think things fizzled there.

Glorydays2013 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 As a Recruit View recruiting profile Antetokounmpo was recruited from Dominican (Milwaukee, WI) class of 2016. He committed to Dayton on 6/23/2016. 247Sports Composite 0.9433 ? Natl Comp102Pos SF19St WI2 3* I think you are underestimating him. Again the Antetokoumpo kids are sleepers and late game developers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numerous empty seats make it a very realistic depiction of an actual Duquesne game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
