bauman Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 For those of you that do not see the 3 CBB prediction magazines, I thought I'd give you a few comments from each. Conference champion and top 6: ATHLON LINDY'S STREET & SMITH 1. Davidson SLU SLU 2. SLU GMU GMU 3. SJU SJU SJU 4. URI DAV DAV 5. GMU SBU UMASS 6. VCU UMASS RICH ATHLON ----------------------The Good (G) and the Bad (B) (my apologies to Roy, but I am not going to type out all these player names, but no disrespect intended) G---------------Probably the best analysis of the Bills with appropriate mentions of HF, CAG, DJF and LS in its Frontcourt section and of JG, TI, Bess and DW when discussing our backcourt. G--------------Comments---Team is as deep and talented as any in the A-10/When looking at talent and depth the Bills are the class of the league/Can Ford develop a cohesive team with a roster that has at least 10 players good enough to warrant quality minutes/Schedule that includes FSU, Butler, SH and Houston early will test the Bills. B--------------Picks 1st and 2nd team all conference players and only lists HF on the 2nd team. LINDY'S-------------------------Some of this pub was copied on a different thread G------------Has picks for 1st-3rd team all conference: 1st ----JG; 2nd ---JB; 3rd----HF G-----------Recruiting. SLU has the "Best Group" led by CAG, DW, and TI. Number 1 signing coup---CAG. Most likely recruit to make NBA--CAG, just not right away. Best shot at all conf.---CAG G----------HONOR ROLL SECTION------------------PLAYER OF THE YEAR (DRUM ROLL) ---------------------JORDAN GOODWIN! G----------Comments-this could be one of the best seasons in school history; Bess easily a candidate for POY B---------weak and short team analysis section/mentions CAG as 75th in ESPN FR ranking, yet in its own listing shows him as 60 (no SPUMAC recruit listed in top 100). STREET AND SMITH G---------Most complete team analysis, even mentioning THOR/KCH/FT and DJ. When discussing LS writes that we will be one of the league's best teams in the lane (who could possibly be better?) G--------TI selected to all newcomer team and JB picked for all defense team B-------No Billiken named to all conference team B------CAG not named to all newcomer team (Hello, hello S & S writers!!!) I hope this is helpful to those of you not able to see some of the national CBB magazines.

wgstl Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Good call on doing this. I was thinking about averaging all the media outlets to come up with a conclusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierPal Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 https://www.three-man-weave.com/3mw/atlantic-10-basketball-preview-2019 Here is yet another preview. I like the way they break up the league, into three tiers. Ford COY and Grady POY. Be sure to look at the table summarizing Goodwin and French on the floor together. Interesting. Of the 15 players on this publication's three A10 All Conference teams, 12 are guards. Goodwin First team, Isabell Third team and Isabell Newcomer Team Zink and TheDude like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never in the Grawer 'n' after era has this line been used about our team; "forming an incredibly potent frontcourt that could simply overwhelm most of its A-10 counterparts with size and athleticism."

Three other fun quotes. The last one in particular, is a new angle. (Goodwin = a dime store Marcus Smart). .......the Gateways to the Glass inside (yep, that’s what I’m calling the front court), If Travis Ford doesn’t over-coach this team, a conference title is definitely within the realm of possibility, and the NCAA Tournament is twinkling in the distance.

brianstl Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 The only acceptable nickname for this team is the Blu-Tang Clan. Box and Won, billikenbill and MattyMo213 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
