HoosierPal Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 SBUnfurled has long used a U-Rating to evaluate players. Here is his ranking of all A10 players who played D1 last season. He ranks Meadows as our #2 player. This list is for last season, not a prediction of the upcoming season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 jimerson being rated that low going into the season is a joke. imo that makes this list useless for player evaluation. nice reference for names. not rankings.

HoosierPal Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Top 144 has Dayton coming in at #53, 2nd in the A10 and destined for the NIT. Recapping A10 teams on their list: 126 St. Joseph 112 St. Bonaventure 79 Loyola 73 Fordham 53 Dayton I wonder how much influence Joe Bamisile's inclusion on VCU's roster had when they obviously picked VCU to win the A10. Wonder if they a mulligan now. https://www.collegesportsmadness.com/article/22077 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was all written a few months ago. Strange anyway you look at it. Both Duquesne and VCU are better than 7th place this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gots ta be VCU. https://www.collegesportsmadness.com/mens-basketball/top-144-previews Duquesne comes in at #43, tops in the A10. Recapping the College Madness Top 144, with 6 A10 Teams on the list: 126 St. Joseph 112 St. Bonaventure 79 Loyola 73 Fordham 53 Dayton 43 Duquesne. I have no problem with Duquesne coming in as the top seed. But VCU no better than 7th doesn't cut it. They will be in the top 3d of the league, even without Bamisile. I'm not sold on Fordham replacing Quisenberry and Moore successfully for a 3rd place finish, but that is why they play the games. Loyola can be found in the top 3rd, middle 3rd, and bottom 3rd in various polls. Spin the wheel! If you look at the list to date, Memphis is slotted at 47th, and 2nd in the AAC. But this list has them in the NIT, meaning the AAC is looking at a One Bid League according to this source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierPal Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I took a look at four preseason polls and looked for a consensus. Blue Ribbon, Almanac, Rothstein, and Jablonski. Here are the average of the predictions. 1) Dayton 2) VCU 3) St. Bonaventure 4) Duquesne 5) St. Joseph 6) Fordham 7) SLU 8 ) George Washington 9) Loyola 10) George Mason 11) Davidson 12) Richmond 13) LaSalle 14) UMass 15) Rhode Island Loyola and LaSalle both had the largest 'spread' of 6 positions. SLU's spread was 6 to 10. Bottom line, after the top 5, your guess is as good as anyone's. wgstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crewsorlose Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I'm excited to see our athletic young guards and to see what they can do. When you have high expectations, greater chances of disappointment. I want to see if Ford can coach this group to play hard and as a team. I'd be more excited if Brock Vice hadn't de-committed, but who knows what we've got with the foreign bigs and Dalger. Bound to be less frustrating than watching a former top 100 HS big fumble every third pass and miss every other bunny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your guess is probably as good as anyone’s at this point. Far too many new players to say, both at SLU and in the conference at large to do anything but guess as far as I can tell. They could (a) win the A10, (b) they could come in somewhere between 13-15, or (c) somewhere in between those two. I honestly don’t know whether to pick a, b or c. I’ll read other people’s opinions, but I don’t know if anyone really knows with any great certainty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierPal Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 There is a video up of Coach Ford addressing the Media today. It wouldn't copy over, but go to the St Louis PD, it is there. Highlights, TJ and Gibson are co-captains. Coach obviously wants them to lead by example. No word on Brad Ezewiro's waiver request. He has lost 30 pounds since he came to campus. Stef vB hasn't been on the floor yet, due to a foot injury. Coach hopes he can start practicing in 3 weeks. He did include Abou in his grouping of bigs, so I'm guessing he is 6'9". Zhan has a great basketball IQ but so far has been having trouble adjusting the the physical nature of the game. Meadows and Medley are handling the point. Hughes, who has looked good the past few weeks, is playing off the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
