Nelson Menard has not gotten much time as a starter, but as a bench scoring threat from range he has put in more than most 6th man candidates in this conference have. Paul Adams and Ruben Orosco could also factor into the picture this season on the perimeter. Weaknesses: Their post players all graduated last season. The replacement options they have are not very deep, with Johnnie Pauley playing the role as an undersized big. This allows opponents to potentially play to defend the perimeter and score out of wherever Johnnie Paulie isn’t. However, the current lineup isn’t considering Pauley at all in the starting role, and if that remains true it’s going to be a field day. Projection: Probably able to stay up with their guard talent, but don’t expect them to be capable of the 22-8 type of record again. Southern Strengths: The young talent being brought in might not have the best all around game, but they have high starting skillsets that can’t be denied so easily. Even with low potential upside, Frank Perry and Marty Russo can already contribute to some degree. Add that to a decent core of Taggart, Jensen, and Cai, and this team can remain competitive past this season. Senior Guard Edgar Paxton and SF Jarvis Best will do the bulk of the damage. Weaknesses: Defensively, this team is paper thin on the inside. It might change as early as next season, but there are no defenders inside that are double digits in ratings. Additionally, beyond their two seniors, the rest of their respectable talent will start the season in the 100-110 range. Teams should be able to man on man match up ok against this team. Projection: Will fight to survive demotion to division 3 (D.VI), but ultimately if they survive, they will become more problematic as early as next season when their top 8 will all be 100 SI still, and perhaps as many as 5 will be north of 120 ratings with several of those players still being sophomores or juniors. Fort Valley Strengths: Perhaps one of the deeper teams in terms of outside shooting. All of their options for playing time between PG and SF, in which there are about 8, are capable of hitting shots from 10-15 feet out without issue. Several are likely to be able to consistently delivery from 3 point range, and additionally the team has good finishers. Weaknesses: The two major issues that Fort Valley State will have is that their best option short term for distributing to the team makes too many mistakes and poor decisions. Add to that the team has only 1 freshman big worthy of starting right now, and 2 more in total that will ever have a chance to play consistently, and it will be a massive uphill battle in most games. Projection: While this team left D.IV last season having just missed staying up, I think this is likely one of the teams destined for the bottom six. They’ll need to bring in a lot of bigs this season before getting demoted to division 3 if they want any chance of turning it around. Jackson State Strengths: Despite having very few seniors, this team is surprisingly talented. Additionally, they have one of the better young centers of the first several teams analyzed. On the perimeter, Tad De Simone ha the potential to have a lot of skill on the shooting side of things, so offensively the team wont be strapped for weapons down the road. Weaknesses: Because the team lacks senior outside of walkon CJ Doyle (who is not going to play) and Tracy Johnson (whom is behind the curve of other seniors in division 2), the overall level of talent is lacking. Only one player on the entire team (Tracy Johnson) has the perimeter defense rating in double digits, and only 4 players have either perimeter or inside ratings of 8 or better. This team may give up more points than any other team in the conference. Projection: Bottom 3. I think this team has far better chance than most of the candidates for demotion of turning it around, simply because the level of recruiting of their previous class is strong in comparison to others at this level. I’d basically bank on the demotion this season, and suggest in two seasons time that they might be right back up. Updated Sunday, December 23 2018 @ 12:37:08 pm PST

Double digit ratings almost across the board, a former 4 star recruit that can single handedly win this team some games. He is perhaps one of the most likely in the conference to get drafted, assuming he gets to the 167-172 SI threshold. The senior depth behind him, while not incredibly talent, is capable of holding their own in the lineup, giving Clayton State an above average chance of promotion this season. Weaknesses: Dickson is a senior, as is most of their starting 5. There are small issues with multiple members of their starting lineup, but other lineups will have similar issues, so the real problem is whether or not Clayton state promotes this season. If they do, they’ll be straight back down but might be capable of floating D.V the following season. If not, this team might be destined to go back to division 3 opponents after next season. It’s very much an all or nothing team. Projection: This team will be right there fighting for one of the promotion spots, and will either just miss or just make it depending on how much Harvey Dickson can carry them. Francis Marion Strengths: One of the biggest teams in the conference. Having redshirt most of their recruiting class from last season, the team now sports 6 freshmen at 100 SI or more, 3 redshirts and 3 true. Additionally, this team has two stud players, junior Danny Pack and Senior Rodger Fontenot. There are some concerns defensively, but it truly might not matter given how well constructed their underclassmen are and how effective they will be at depth. Weaknesses: In order for this team to achieve multiple promotions with this group of players, the team will likely have to sit at least two of their incoming class. Therefore, they might reduce the level of talent that they have to push promotion this season. Additionally, the team lacks the true inside stopper or perimeter stopper, so any star talent on their opponents will be capable of carrying the efforts to upset this teams run to the top. Projection: This will be the team at the end that is sitting at the top or in the top three at worst. I see no reason why this team shouldn’t promote this team. Academy of Art Strengths: Maurice Briggs is the lone senior starter in a line up of Juniors and potentially a sophomore, so you would think that the team is largely lagging behind the majority of the conference. However, Isaac Hill, Vicente Perez, and a host of other Juniors round out a decent group of players that should be more than enough to keep the Academy of Art in the discussion. Briggs possesses the qualities needed to have a good interior jump shot, and his overall speed, defense, and IQ are matched by few others, so there might even be a chance for the AA to make it into D.IV again this season Weaknesses: The academy lacks in the size department, and is furthermore plagued by a very lackluster inside group. Freshman Sonny Furukawa is the only major underclassmen on the big side, and Frank Haskell is the only guard that is particularly talented. With so many key pleasers leaving after next season, the future is probably the 2nd most concerning thing behind the lack of depth/defense in the post. Projection: Likely to be 4th-6th best in terms of talent this season, they could either overplay their potential or underplay it. Armstrong State Strengths: Jeff Jackett leads a younger squad of players. Sophomore Guard Daniel Witherspoon is not at the point where he can carry the team just yet, but at 115 SI as a sophomore it seems quite likely that he will be well rounded by the time he reaches his senior season. Weaknesses: Unfortunately, Armstrong State is simply one of those teams that isn’t well prepared to cope with this conference this season. Only 3 triple digit talents on the team, and only Grove and Hackett with the skills necessary to survive. No perimeter defenders with more than an 8 rating, no inside defenders with more than a 7. Currently, the team only has 10 scholarships in place. Projection: I think that it’ll be difficult for this team to stay up unfortunately, and have them going down. Without a team president to push targets to bring in, it’ll take some good fortune for this team to find its way even with some good underclassmen in their ranks.

Montevallo also has several guards with decent inside and outside defense, and in general their starting 5 is as solid as it gets at this level. Weaknesses: Lack of depth. Assuming they go with 3 guards and 2 bigs instead of 4/1, they’ll have a very short bench of bigs to use, and they’ll have at best 2 bench guards to come in that can be effective. Where top teams in the conference have 8 or 9 players in the 100+ club, the 6 that Montevallo has means the players will be tasked with soaking up more minutes. Projection: I would think it’s quite feasible for Montevallo to survive in D.V this season. I see enough teams well above their talent level and well below their talent level to give them the benefit of the doubt. Georgia Southern Strengths: Alaniz is one of the premier guards in the conference, and is really so capable defensively that he ought to play SF more than SG or PG. In addition, while the underclassmen are not yet at the level where they can be extremely effective, Guards Jonathan Conti and Austin Kemp, along with SF/PF’s Tyrone Ball and Scott Holman, make it seem very likely that this team will be a problem not only this season but down the road. Weaknesses: Georgia Southern has had some bad luck with it’s presidents coming and going. It has cost them a little bit of recruiting depth. With 3 more scholarships used, they’d be at full and likely have a larger spread of talent available. Instead, they’ll have to make due with a short bench. Projection: One of many teams that will be in the middle of the pack. They have the top end talent to stick with the rest of the teams, but lack perhaps the depth to be consistent enough to make it to the next level. Flagler Strengths: Spencer Barton is a top tier two-way defensive threat who is also capable of shooting and hitting inside the arc with little trouble. Add to that a competent SG in William Rice and a good PG in Jack Pence and you have the dynamic in place for the guards to be successful from the perimeter. In addition, Manny McPherson as a freshman is already in the triple digits, and Allen Lyles will also be good for Flagler down the road. Weaknesses: Flagler is completely outclassed in terms of size. Their current project lineup is likely to feature no players over 6’4”. In the best of circumstances, they might squeeze one of their inbound 6’6” SF’s into a role on the front line, but the lack of current skills makes them a sitting duck. Projection: A team that most will want to see go down, and I think they just might. If size is as big a factor as people make it out to be, it will take a fantastically efficient perimeter game night in and night out for Flagler to stay up after promoting last season. Colorado Strengths: Assuming that the rumors of Simmons being redshirt are true, Colorado still has two big threats on it’s roster. David Beckwith is going to be a prolific passer for their team this season, and Angel Santos while lacking in defensive capability is going to be really difficult to stop when he is in the game. Beyond these three, the roster has several different options to go with, but most of the solid answers from there reside in underclassmen, albeit talented ones. They have the size to keep up with most of the members of this conference, and once the younger group of players turns the corner it’ll only be a matter of time. Weaknesses: Colorado’s weakness regardless of whether or not Simmons plays or doesn’t play is the overall lack of defensive depth. Only a handful of 10+ defensive ratings across the team, and several of their better roster players are low on both disciplines. Projection: I’m not sure if Colorado quite has it in them to promote this season, but they should be in the discussion for the top 3-6 teams in the conference, and it wouldn’t surprise me either way it falls. They should definitely be safe. Updated Sunday, December 23 2018 @ 12:35:13 pm PST

FurySK Joined: 12/17/2018 Posts: 170 Inactive	New Hampshire Strengths: All around skill players seem to be the common effort here. Not to many guys seem to be at the top of the list in terms of talent in any one discipline, with only a handful of shooting and defensive ratings in the double digits. One of the first times in my searching that a team had no redshirt players on their roster, it might be of some benefit if they make that move this season as they have a decent group of bigs that they might get more out of long term with that strategy. Weaknesses: The weaknesses with any all-around team that tries to get solid all-around players is that their lack of focus makes them undertalented and unable to hold their own against the dominant players in specific categories. Defensively the team is sounder than it is offensively, and I worry that this team won’t produce enough to stay afloat. Projection: Bottom half of the conference, and quite possibly one of the six that demotes. Once they have Rawls, Kearney, and Couch a year or two older they’ll have a shot to come back up if they fall, but ideally, they find a way to scratch out some wins and stay up. Stetson Strengths: Inside defense is one of the rare things in this conference, but Stetson has two double digit defenders. Additionally, Stetson has 4 players with 9 or more outside defense, making it more difficult for most teams to run a consistent attack. Josh Moore is likely who we’ll see a lot of the offense run through, and there is a solid chance that he’ll have free reign over his opponents. Height is of no concern for this lineup, most teams will not have the size at big to match up at both PF and C with Stetson. Weaknesses: Not the most prolific attacking team, and not the best distribution on the perimeter (lowish IQ on Sparks). Furthermore, poor handling on several of the players on this team may allow opponents to rack up turnovers on them, which could make some games get out of hand. 25 TO games happen often enough in division 2, and that would be a major concern. Stetson is in a win now situation given most of the scholarship players are in their final two years of eligibility. Projection: I think Stetson lacks the overall talent to take a top 3 spot, and would put them in the middle of the pack given that they have the size advantage over most of their opponents. Louisiana-Lafayette Strengths: Nick Coles is fairly talented when it comes to shooting, though he might be best served redshirting this season so that they have a better push the following two seasons. Goddard is an effective post player that will cause some problems for many of the teams down low. They also have an interesting underclassman who has size and perimeter shooting, and may be a problem if they can properly hide his defensive problems. Weaknesses: Only 10 scholarship players, this team needs to probably fill 5 of it’s 6 scholarships this season to keep from descending into D.VI in the future. Some of the players that have yet to have a redshirt could benefit greatly from catching up to the graduating class they are in, so it’ll be interesting to see how this team chooses to attack this season. Will they flirt with the bottom of the pack and hope to hold on while people sit out? Or will they stay up this season and worry about staying up next season or the season after? Projection: Predicting that at least 1 or 2 players get the redshirt this season, and that Louisiana-Lafayette is either just in or just out of the bottom six. Sacred Heart Strengths: Griffiths is a very good two-way defender who has very good long-range shooting. Paxton is also quite a good all-around defender with rebounding, and in general this team looks to be set up quite well in terms of the defensive talent it has. Furthermore, the team has quite a bit of depth, with the top 9 players being rated in the triple digits, with 4 of those being underclassmen. Team looks reasonably well prepared to stay up for the next few seasons. Weaknesses: No true point guard will make this team very reliant on players working their way open, although the team in general is solid in getting passing from multiple sources (8 passing on 7 players). Only a handful of high inside shot and outside shot double digit ratings on the team this season make the offense reliant on only a few options. Projections: Not likely to be in the discussion for promotion, but it seems like there will be enough talent here to avoid relegation. Safe in the 6th-9th range.

FurySK Joined: 12/17/2018 Posts: 170 Inactive	Sacred Heart Recruiting SF Oliver Austin - Got him to low early as it said he was looking to commit early to a school. Not likely to be in the long term plans as a startering caliber SF, but if he has a decent growth rate he'll have it if we cannot secure our primary target next recruiting season. SF/PF Booker Williams - A taller player with limited rebounding potential that we picked up for very few contacts. Will also see utilization as an SF in larger packages and PF due to his speed when we want to play a little smaller. Like Oliver Austin, expecting a Redshirt to see if he can't get to triple digit skill index C Rodney Hartley - The majority of our contacts went to this player (50% of our total seasons recruiting contacts). Primarily going to be packaged as our Center until his speed gets to 10 in my eyes. Will probably see a redshirt at some point, but since we have a starting big position open next season he will go ahead and play as a true freshman before perhaps getting Redshirt the following year when we get more talent out of redshirt status. The overall recruiting goal this season was to go out and get enough height to be competitive in a few years, and while we missed on several of our initial targets, we did accomplish this goal in the end. We have one or two people on watch that could join our team in the next week, but scholarships going forward will likely address the guards depth as we will be in need of a quarterback for our attack.

They also have Del Lovell and Matthew Kiefer backing them up. Junior Gerardo Soriano is strong offensively on the interior as well, and they have Billy Rangel at center whom is a bit underdeveloped but is quite tall and should be able to thwart some attacks on the basket. Weaknesses: 9 scholarships in use is a big weakness. Not enough talent depth on the team, as 3 of those 9 are freshman and only 1 of those freshmen is worthy of significant playing time (Martin Klima at SF). In addition, the team lacks the rebounding to be competitive on the front quart, with neither likely starter to be above a 7 by the time conference play kicks off. The head coach is currently setup with a true freshman at SG that is more suited long term given his height to be a big man. Expectations: I don’t see this team surviving this season unless coaching is replaced. If the right players are put in the right spot, this team would be more or less capable of holding on, but not without making better use of the taller players in the lineup. BYU-Hawaii Strengths: Depth is not a problem. 10 scholarship players above 100 SI plus a sophomore walk-on also above 100 in Division V is not that common. In addition, the top talent all have decent ball distribution, making it a little less likely that this team has significant turnover problems going into the conference play in comparison to some of the other teams. Weaknesses: A little lacking on interior defense, with a lone double-digit center and nobody else north of a 7 entering exhibition play. Additionally, there isn’t a major threat on this team offensively, it must instead rely on many players providing points from different positions or bench roles, in order to score enough points to be successful. Expectations: This team is capable of being a middle of the pack team a lot of the time. It could go south if the team doesn’t find consistent offense, or could be fighting for promotion if the versatility of the team is better than expected. Augusta Strengths: The starting 5 in theory should be Woodruff, Stewart, Ashcraft, Ferluga, and Sherman (it isn’t, but for sake of strengths it could have been). The top talent in general on this team would be more than capable of putting up a decent perimeter attack capable of hitting from any of the 5 positions. In a few seasons, the 5 true freshmen would eventually fill into the stating role and increase the overall talent of the squad, so the long-term outlook has some perks. Weaknesses: The team has no upperclassmen depth. Only 6 of the 18 players on the team are upperclassmen, and only 4 of them would crack the rotation on many teams. A lack of IQ/PA/HA on the guards is a recipe for this team to do quite poorly in turnovers. Expectations: Demotion because the team doesn’t have the right starting 5 for my money, and lacks the depth to make up for the CPU doing dumb things. Clayton State Strengths: better than average depth in terms of height. 5 players at 90 SI or higher including 3 underclassmen that all have 6’8” or taller frames is probably enough to scare a lot of teams. On the perimeter, they have Hammond and Copeland that should be able to do damage and Hammond can play multiple roles as well. Weaknesses: Defensively, this team is worse than Colorado was last season. Only 1 player with perimeter defense in double digits, and no interior defenders that have that double-digit rating. In addition, the team doesn’t have a true quarterback to its offense, and will struggle to operate without that effective PG. Expectations: Depends entirely on height and whether or not Hammond or Copeland miss any games. If the two perimeter threats miss playing time with injury, this team is going to have a rough time winning games, and with them fully healthy I think it’s a bit of a struggle but they just might stay up.

FurySK Joined: 12/17/2018 Posts: 170 Inactive	Dominican University of California Strengths: Take your pick. Lots of offensive potential, a center with huge IS and inside defense, perimeter players with high passing or PD, and all but the 5 walk-ons at 100 SI or more. This team is loaded in counting stats and overall talent Weaknesses: perimeter depth defensively is a bit questionable. Must promote this year as 6 players are leaving this year and another 5 the year after if none redshirt. So, in two seasons this team is either going to need a ton of recruits or will go from D.IV/D.V to D.VI almost immediately. Expectations: Promotion, and honestly, it’d be sad to see this team fail with its fairly decisive talent advantage. Arkansas State Strengths: Can basically take your pick of the options available, and darn near every single one of them is likely to be able to shoot jumpers from various ranges. Additionally, the entire top end of the talent on the team is either strong, fast, or both. Weaknesses: The downside is pretty easy to spot, the top perimeter defender has an 8 PD (there are two tied), the next best is a 6. On the inside, a lone 10 ID, a single 9 on a walk-on whom isn’t going to make it to 90 SI, and an 8 on a 95 SI junior. Team had a lot of talent leave, and didn’t have a lot of talent at the RS-SO or SO level to kind of bridge the gap to the freshman class that came in. Expectations: I think this is one of those teams that has enough talent today to compete in D.V.3, but would if it stayed up and got most of the freshman class good playing time. Unfortunately, this is an assessment of the here and now, and it doesn’t look good for Arkansas State, demotion is likely. Academy of Art Strengths: 7 seniors on this team, all 7 at 114 or higher SI, two at 150+ in the back court. Of the 11 players on the team that have 100+ SI, 3 of the 11 have double digit defense, 3 have double digit inside offense, and two of the starters have significant rebounding skills too. In terms of strengths, they have a lot of different players with a lot of different setups that can get them through many matchups. Weaknesses: It’s kind of similar to a team covered earlier, where there isn’t one player that really has a great setup to be a carry-mode type of stud. Perez is the closest, and makes a few iffy decisions. Expectations: Think the Academy of Art is likely to be close to the top of the standings this season. Top 3 is a possibility, but top 6 is definitive for me. Indiana University of Pennsylvania Strengths: A handful of starters that all have at least a 9 in one or the other defensive category make this team a little bit more deceptively strong. The team also has a lot of players capable of good ball movement, and Riley Barron’s combination of perimeter shooting prowess and speed make him particularly talented for a Division 2 player. Weaknesses: The lack of inside depth is particular problematic. Either they utilize a smaller lineup and have a lot of skill, or they go down the depth charts to Catalano and Dobbs and Coble and lose out on some skill (or in this case, the computer as decided mills is the best option and thus a 6 potential walk-on senior might play). Expectations: If the choice of centers doesn’t change, this team could honestly demote despite being more than talented enough to stay in. I’d easily place this team in the top 8-10 teams with proper roster management, thinking closer to 5th or 6th.

FurySK Joined: 12/17/2018 Posts: 170 Inactive	New Hampshire Strengths: Quality young depth all over the place for this team. 3 Sophomores over 100 SI, 4 freshman all over 95 SI. Cody Kennedy is the lone 120+ SI senior. Weaknesses: Unfortunately, there isn’t anyone right now that has great offensive or defensive talent. The majority of the players have lots of 8’s and 9’s ratings across a lot of skills rather than a weakness in their build along with some far greater strengths. Without that consistent threat, it’s going to be a lot of reliance on depth to win. Expectations: Demotion seems most likely here. The head coach has a ton of player development and has the ability to improve their offensive tactics considerably, so maybe they increase in talent and strength by season’s end to avoid it, but I currently don’t see enough. Coastal Carolina Strengths: The backcourt for Coastal Carolina is fairly strong, and contains guys capable of limiting turnovers while being somewhat productive in either a defensive or offensive role. Cox in particular will have the handling and IQ to make up for the just ok passing rating and defensively he isn’t bad at both interior and perimeter defending. Weaknesses: Another major depth chart flaw with Bobby Frost being the pick at center. I am hoping that the depth chart changes and they at least can get Ilunga or Garner in there, otherwise it’s going to be a field day down low. Expectations: This is one of those teams where again if the coaching does not improve it is likely demotion. If they improve their depth chart, surviving doesn’t seem that out of the question, but I think it’s still pretty close. Stetson Strengths: One of the few squads with a lot of good seniors now and a lot of good young depth for later. Xavier Sparks will provide the distribution, with Bennie Jackson likely to do a lot of the good work down low along with Arnold Nagel. Defensively along the perimeter, it looks like teams might have to struggle to get through the top 3. Weaknesses: Perimeter shooting will be largely from inside the arc, otherwise it wont work. Inside defense is lacking a little bit, and the senior squad is a bit prone to mental mistakes. So while this team is certainly fairly strong, it does leave some weaknesses for exploiting. Expectations: With the amount of bot teams currently being mismanaged, if this team sees proper management it should finish top 8. Human teams may prevent Stetson from finishing in the top 3 and promoting. UNC Pembroke Strengths: Krueger is one of the strongest players in the conference Add three more seniors to play with him that each have their own strengths, and it feels really hard to doubt their credibility as far as being able to storm through a lot of the teams in the conference. Perimeter defense across Coleman and Krueger in particular make it difficult to score from the perimeter, so if they force teams into three-point shots it’ll be a lot of really good days for UNC Pembroke. Weaknesses: The usual suspect is at it again, where we have Sammie Everhart, a Redshirt Freshman with no real skills, as the teams starting Big man along with Cox. It’s basically going to be a 4-man team on the floor, and if he takes a lot of shots or has a lot of ball control routed through him, there is a very exploitable matchup. Expectations: The top 4 of this team is simply too strong to not be able to overcome a weak 5th man on the floor, I don’t see this team finishing any worse than 6th.

FurySK Joined: 12/17/2018 Posts: 170 Inactive	Colorado Strengths: Santos brings the offense, Simmons brings the distribution, and the team has improved depth inside defensively to prevent teams from running over them like what could have happened previously. Colorado is known for high offense and mediocre defense in seasons past, and while the defense isn’t stellar it is much improved, while the offense hasn’t dropped off at all. Weaknesses: Defensive depth is the biggest concern thus far. If Simmons, Beckwith, Mathis, or Harter foul out, who comes in and what will they cost the team in terms of +/-? It’s likely that the team will have built enough of a lead to maintain through these issues, but I could see a handful of losses out of this squad if 1 or 2 players have to sit for a lot of the game. Expectations: I’ll pick this team to promote, I don’t think that they really have as many weaknesses as some of the other promotion contenders that I’ve picked to finish 6th or better to merit them not making it, but the team was slow to start last season and can ill afford to do that again. Albany Strengths: Senior depth should provide Albany with the talent necessary to be competitive this season. The overall depth of the teams north of 100 SI is pretty solid as well, thanks to a handful of good recruits over the past few seasons Weaknesses: Not much size, and the size that the team does have is from walk-ons. Furthermore, the team doesn’t have significant IQ ratings across the majority of the starting lineup, which makes it less likely that they’ll make the right decisions often enough to win games. Finally, with 8 scholarships being used and as many as 10 commitments needed next season, the depth has already been whittled down. Expectations: Needs coaching to return to the team to have a definitive say one way or the other. As it is, demotion seems more likely than staying up. Sacred Heart Strengths: Size amongst the top-end players seems to be fairly quality. Cranford has the inside defense and shooting, Hartley the true freshman also has quality shooting and rebounding. Defensively the team in terms of the potential starters also seems ok, with the starting small forward having both defensive skills high and other players contributing either inside or perimeter defense. Weaknesses: Unfortunately, the team seems likely to redshirt Cranford as well as several of the inbound freshmen, which takes a bit of the depth out of this team. Furthermore, the defensive depth is mostly at the top of the lineup, only one backup has a double-digit defensive stat and the remaining players have substantial deficits in other ratings. Expectations: The depth is going to make staying up a struggle for this team, it is likely that Sacred Heart flirts with potential demotion for the second season in a row, with a likely finish between 8th and 12th. Georgia Southern Strengths: Good ball distribution across several players makes it less likely that the team will make bad decisions or take bad shots. In addition, there is a lot of relatively high single low double digit defensive players on the perimeter. Weaknesses: Inside shooting and defending seem the most problematic. Without any inside skillset on the team, it makes it less consistent an attack and less consistent a defensive effort. Expectations: A team that is likely destined for poor performances given the CPU defaulting to size at bigs and putting lots of mediocre players into the inside. Might barely survive, might demote.

gards710 Joined: 05/17/2020 Posts: 492 Dominican Univ. of California Penguins I.1	V.3 Conference Preview Part 1 (all stats and skills cited were as of Conference Game #3, so some may be out of date) - These are just my opinion, so prove me wrong! UCF (153.4 TPI) - President: Bababooey4 Coach: Alexander Bray (13 off/5 def/12 dev/20 rec) Outlook: A team set up well for the present and the future. One of the top teams in D2 any way you look at it, including at the top in RPI. Just 2 seniors. Key players: SG Cheney (155 SI RS JR) - 20 ppg, 16 OS, 15 RNG, 13 PD, 15 DRV, 16 SPD PG Rodgers (182 SI RS JR) - 7.4 apg, 16.8 ppg, 16 in each of PD, IQ, PAS, HND, DRV 6’4” PF Knowles (163 SI RS JR) - 14 IS/OS, 12 REB, 14 STR, 18 SPD, 15.2 ppg (10.3 PITP) on 64% FG%, 8.9 rpg Kauffmann off the bench (156 SI RS JR) can score a lot off the bench - 12 OS, 16 RNG, 15 FIN, 16 DRV, 13 SPD SF Kiefer (159 SI RS JR) - 14 FIN, 15 PD, 14. HND, 13 DRV, 15 SPD Strengths: They’re fast, have good stamina, good handles, have high IQs, force a lot of TOs, shoot well from all over, and can rebound. The team is deep (11 players 120+ SI) and has the top end talent. Weaknesses: Is there a weakness? Not really…but if I were to nitpick, they are a little small in the frontcourt and they are not an efficient defensive team. They may struggle against teams that can overwhelm them in the paint. They appear to be redshirting 6’9.5” FR C Gunderson. Prediction: They promote easily and could be on quite the upward trajectory if the interior defense improves for D1. They are a legitimate threat for a deep National Tournament run. Azusa Pacific (144.7 TPI) - President: basoy6658 Coach: Denny Purvis (new so 10’s across the board, but he’s a good teacher and excellent recruiter) Outlook: A young team with some serious star power (4 of top 5 in SI are sophs). Not fully developed yet though and Kiefer (146 SI SO) now coming off the bench after starting all year in his freshman year last year. Key players: PG McNulty (165 SI RS SO) - 17.3 ppg on 48% FG%, 5.2 apg, 3.2 spg, 13 OS, 14 RNG, 13 PD, 14/13/13/9 in IQ/PAS/HND/DRV, 17 SPD PF Holman (164 SI RS SO) - 12.4 ppg on 50% FG%, 10.5 rpg, 15 REB, 15 ID, 15 SPD, well rounded, no skill under 7 SG McLean (156 SI RS SR) - 11.7 ppg, 17 OS, 19 PD, 34.5% oFG% SF McConnell (141 SI SO) - 13 OS, 14 PD, 14 SPD, 36.1% oFG% F Rosado off the bench (116 SI RS SO) - 11 IS, 13 OS, 11 ID, 13 STR, 16 SPD Strengths: Defense is the calling card (force 19 turnovers a game, allow less than 60 ppg, and allow 43% FG%/47.7% eFG%). Good in offensive efficiency too. They play a little slow, but they take care of the ball and shoot over 50% from the field (55% eFG%). Weaknesses: Size is a bit of an issue with a 6’6” PF and a 6’8” C, with a 6’8” big coming off the bench. Stamina not the best, but helped by playing slow. Just not fully developed yet. Prediction: Easy promotion and should be a high seed in the National Tournament with their undefeated non-conference run and an early season victory over UCF. Beyond those two clear teams at the top, the following teams have much more evident flaws and the tier could flip completely. Any of these teams could fight for promotion or have to fight to stave off demotion. Louisiana-Lafayette (141.5) President: gcole6788 Coach: Tracy Fowler (9 off/17 def/14 dev/12 rec) Outlook: A deep (11 at 120+ SI) and balanced team that plays fast, but has flaws in pretty key spots. Decent sized gap from top player to rest, but rest of roster is solid in SI. Key players: SG Calvert (165 SI SR) - 16.4 ppg, 37.4 oFG%, 15 OS, 13 PD, 15 IQ, 16 PAS PF Ayala (146 SI JR) - 15 ppg on 54% FG%, 11.2 rpg, 14 IS, 14 REB C Dubose (145 SI SR) - 10 OS, 13 FIN, 10 ID, 12 STR, 15 SPD PG Still (133 SI RS SO) - 13 OS, 13 PAS, 11 DRV, 13 STR Strengths: Honestly, tough to say. Not that they’re bad. Just balanced so nothing sticks out. They rank near the top of the conference in most categories through this early stage of the schedule. Weaknesses: I’ve said it twice and now again - size in the front court. Their bigs can get rebounds, but are sieves defensively. Not sure the speed matches the style of play either. Can PG Still handle the pressure with just 9 IQ, 8 HND, and 9 SPD? Prediction: Based on pure skill, this team could be a threat to promote, but the team just doesn't fit and so I think they underperform. Still should be in the top half of the conference and may be top 3 by default. Flagler (135.4) President: Bot Coach: Robert Klein (4/12/0/11) Outlook: Bot, who cares? Two top guys and good top 7, but big drop off after and really small team. Key players: PF Milner (156 SI SR) - 13 IS, 15 REB, 14 PD, 18 SPD PG Earl (155 SI JR) - 15 OS, 16 FIN, 15 DRV, 15 SPD SG James (140 SI JR) - 13 OS, 13 FIN, 11 DRV, 13 SPD C Quinn (137 SI SR) - 12 OS, 13 STR Strengths: They can shoot, really well, but not from distance. They’re also fast and force quite a few turnovers. Weaknesses: I will give you one guess. And not just with the bigs - the starting backcourt is 6’ and 5’9” plus a 6’1” SF. As good as he is, PF Milner would be better on the perimeter. Prediction: Stats look good so far, but played an easy schedule. I think they underperform. Probably not to demotion, but not threatening for promotion. Coker (134.1) - President: Warmashine Coach: D’Angleo McHugh (12/7/15/11) Outlook: A pretty young rebuilding team outside of their star McGarry. A smooth SI gradient, but two out of the top 3 in SI hardly play. Making some tough, but smart, redshirt decisions it looks like (Balistreri and Wise, maybe Copeland and Clancy?). Key players: PG McGarry (160 SI SR) - 19.8 ppg on 53.4% FG% (62.6% eFG%), 2.5 3’s a game (51.6% 3FG%), 2.0 spg, 40.6% oFG%, 14 RNG, 14 FIN, 14 PD, 14 PAS, 13 DRV, 17 SPD PF Latimer (6’11” 108 SI RS SO) - 11 OS, 11 REB SF Reeves (6’9” 120 SI RS FR) - 11 IS, 12 RNG, 10 REB, 10 STR C Humphries (7'1" 97 SI FR) - 11 REB, 11 ID Strengths: McGarry is a two-way monster and the team shoots well, mostly on the back of McGarry. Size is also not an issue for this team, starting three players 6’9” or taller. Weaknesses: Size may not be an issue for this team, but at what cost? The bigs that start are tall, but not that good. Humphries should be good later, but as a true frosh, he's just not ready yet. Clancy (6’6” 150 SI JR PF) and Copeland (6’6” 137 SI JR PF) aren’t playing, but would give McGarry some help in the starting lineup. Prediction: This team could threaten for promotion, but right now, I don’t see it. And if McGarry gets hurt for an extended period, this team is shot. South Carolina (130.4) - President: PMurphy17 Coach: Rodger Coates (9/3/7/16) Outlook: A team on a rebuild centered around a star. Solid SI distribution up top, but drops off quickly. A good, but (mostly) underdeveloped junior class will try to keep that rebuild short. Key players: PF Hood (164 SI SR) - 14.8 ppg, 17 OS, 13 RNG, 15 HND, 13 DRV, 14 STR, 17 SPD PG Garza - (151 SI JR) - 13.5 ppg, 5.5 apg, 13 RNG, 15 PAS, 14 HND, 13 DRV, 17 SPD C Yeager (124 SI JR) - 10.2 ppg on 54.7% FG%, 9.0 rpg, 13 IS, 12 OS, 10 REB, 13 STR F Crum (141 SI RS JR) - do it all player, 16 SPD is best skill with 8 other skills at 10+ Strengths: They’re very fast and play fast. They have some threats that can score from all over the floor. Weaknesses: Defense is a big yikes! Why? Guess (it’s size). A terrible interior defensive team and pretty bad on the perimeter too. Not helped by having a 6’2” PF, even if he is your best player. Prediction: I don’t think they will demote mainly because there are much worse teams. But the defense is a big problem. Dominican (CA) (129.5) - President: gards710 Coach: Rahsaan McCartney (9/9/13/11) Outlook: Ahh, my team. Larsen is a hot knife cutting through buttery defenses. Weird playing time decisions - 2 of the top 3 in SI come off the bench/hardly play (I have my reasons). Big talent drop from top player to rest, but tight band thereafter creates the illusion of depth, but it's mostly young or underdeveloped. Key players: SG Larsen (163 SI RS SR) - 19 OS, 15 PAS, 16 HND, 17 STR PG Leavitt (123 SI JR) - 6’6” PG with 14 SPD PF Hankin (123 SI RS JR) - 13 ID SG McLaughlin (126 SI RS SO) - 11 PD, 13 SPD Strengths: An efficient team that shoots well and defends inside very well. Weaknesses: Not size! But…rebounding has not been good. The team just doesn’t have enough higher end talent in the frontcourt right now. Prediction: I think I am just barely above the relegation line to be honest, but might rise just by default. Point Loma Nazarene (127.1) - President: Bot Coach: Reuben Elliott (13/7/9/5) Outlook: Bot owned, so who cares? Just an okay top 3, but lacks star power and not very deep (#4-6 in SI don’t play much). Key players: C Trapp (148 SI SR) - 11 IS, 13 REB, 12 PD, 14 DRV, 11 SPD SF Campbell (141 SI JR) - 10 IS, 15 OS, 14 STR, 32.6% oFG% G/F Tackett (116 SI JR) - 10 OS, 11 FIN, 11 STR, 13 SPD PG Sage (139 SI JR) - 11 RNG, 12 HND, 15 SPD Strengths: Trapp is a load down low and carries this team with his scoring and rebounding. The team as a whole can shoot pretty well and has defended well so far. Weaknesses: Bad skillset matches, especially on defense. The bigs are good perimeter defenders and the guards are better interior defenders. Turn the ball over a lot and don’t force many turnovers at all. Prediction: The current record is much better than they deserve. This team demotes. Projected Finish (incomplete because I have such little confidence in any of the teams beyond the top 2) - will definitely change after Part 2 1. UCF 2. Azusa Pacific 3. 4. Louisiana-Lafayette 4.5 Coker 5. Flagler 6. Dominican (CA) 7. South Carolina 8. Part 2 coming over the weekend. Updated Saturday, September 19 2020 @ 8:52:16 pm PDT

gards710 Joined: 05/17/2020 Posts: 492 Dominican Univ. of California Penguins I.1	Conference Preview Part 2 - It's nice to post this after 7 games, because I have more data to use to figure out the players to watch and more confidence in my predicted finishing order. Mississippi Valley State (124.6) President: ken369 Coach: Art Knoll (9/9/17/9) Outlook: Top 5 are talented (all 125+ SI) and those are basically all who play. Beyond that are young players who are just underdeveloped (best being Sell at 110 SI) Key players: G Hofmeister (151 SI SR) - 12 OS, 17 PD, 14 DRV, 14 SPD C Armetta (136 SI SR) - 7 footer, 12 OS, 13 ID, 14 STR SG/SF Koch (134 SI SO) - 13 OS, 12 FIN, 14 DRV, 17 SPD SF/PG Jackson (131 SI FR) - 12 OS, 10 RNG, 12 HND, 17 SPD PF Crider (125 SI JR) - 12 OS, 12 STR, 12 SPD Strengths: Shooting, speed, offense. Play fast, press a lot, and take care of the ball! Defend pretty well, pick A LOT of pockets. Weaknesses: Fouls and fatigue - the starters foul out A LOT (like 2-3 times more often than their opponent). The 5 who play have really poor stamina for the amount they play. Prediction: Man, I don’t know…I’ve never seen a system like this work. I wouldn’t do it, but the team has been hanging in D2 for a while playing like this. I know they’re contending to promote now, but it’s early and I don’t think that holds. Or maybe it does just by default of no other teams stepping up. Georgia Southern (124.6) - President: Bot Coach: Joshua Walsh (14/11/2/16) Outlook: Bot, so who cares? Have no stars, 6 at 120+ and 3 more at 110+, but maybe one from their giant JR class steps up to carry them. Key players: SF Carter (138 SI JR) - 10/15/12/14 in shooting cats, 10 PD, 12 DRV, 11 STR PF Busby (134 JR) - 11 IS, 11. REB, 10 ID, 10 PD, 11 PAS, 13 HND, 12 SPD C Napolitano (7’1” 112 SI JR) - 10 OS, 13 REB, 12 ID PG Campos (127 SI SR) - 12 PD, 16 PAS, 15 SPD Strengths: A pretty good defensive team, anchored by 7-footer Napolitano, the other 4 starters all have 10+ in PD. Weaknesses: Anything to do with offense, they rank at or near the bottom of the conference (through 4 games). They were a bit better during non-conference though. Prediction: The lack of talent and scoring punch limit the team’s ceiling and push them down to relegation. MSU Moorhead (123.6) - President: Bot Coach: Reggie McCann (4/14/18/16) Outlook: Bot. The 5-star recruit is redshirting! Without Mcwhorter, the team is…not good. Solid top 3 in terms of SI and a decent big. Key players: SF Randolph (142 SI RS SO) - 13 OS, 12 RNG, 11 PD, 11 PAS, 12 STR, 11 SPD PG Zoric (135 SI RS SO) - 11 OS, 12 RNG, 14 PAS, 11 HND/DRV, 16 SPD PF Kenner (133 SI RS SR) - 15 IS, 10 OS, 10 FIN, 10 STR, 14 SPD C Argueta (121 SI SO) - 10/10 in IS/OS, 11 REB, 10 ID, 12 STR, 11 SPD Strengths: They are a very fast team, force quite a few turnovers, and play decent perimeter defense. Weaknesses: Our favorite bugaboo has returned! Size matters people. The starting bigs are just 6’6” with just 8/8 and 11/10 in REB/ID for them. The 6’7” backup is worse (but also just a SO) with 4/5. Also, not a very good shooting team despite solid ratings, so may not be putting guys in the right spots. Prediction: The team looks like it is just focused on developing. Will they continue to do so in D2 next year? I don’t think so. Cal State Bakersfield (122.2) - President: roadrunners Coach: Francisco Santos (9/9/12/10) Outlook: A pretty young team that appears to be redshirting a few guys who are underdeveloped, but could help (Tanaka, Fischer, Price, and Gunderson, which I think is smart to RS them). They lack star power currently and I struggle to see one forming in the next two years, but they could be a very deep team next year. Key players: C Terrell (112 SI JR) - 12 IS, 11 OS, 11 ID, 14 STR SF Milton (134 SI SR) - 12 IS, 12 OS, 10 FIN, 11 PD, 12 HND, 14 DRV PG Kinder (126 SI SR) - 13 OS, 16 PD, 17 SPD SG Carpenter (134 SI JR) - 13 FIN, 12 PD, 12 PAS, 11 DRV, 14 SPD Strengths: Shooting efficiency thanks to Terrell and a nice balance on the wings with Milton and Carpenter. They smartly try to slow the pace, but have the speed and stamina to mix it up if they wanted. Weaknesses: Other than Terrell in the middle who does clean up a lot, size is an issue (6’5” starting PF and Milton is just 6’2”). Defensive efficiency and turnovers are also major problems. Kinder should not be shooting (or playing at all) as much as he is and his height makes his 16 PD and 17 SPD nearly useless. Prediction: This team will be lucky to avoid demotion and it’s looking like luck won’t be in their favor. New Mexico Highlands (120.1) - President: Bot Coach: Michael Curley (17/16/10/11) Outlook: Bot, so who cares. After being my kryptonite two seasons ago, I’m glad I get to beat up on them now (Editor’s note: Lol, they beat me). One star surrounded by okay role guys (but not deep) and has enough size, but some really weird playing time decisions by the bot that will hinder the development for the future. Key players: SF Matthews (164 SI RS SR) - 13/13/12/9 across IS/OS/RNG/FIN, 16 PD, 17 PAS, nothing below an 8 SG Black (103 SI SO) - 11 OS, 13 SPD, top scorer C Gomez (107 SI JR) - 12 IS, 10 REB, 13 ID PF England (100 SI SO) - 10 IS, 9 FIN, 9 DRV Strengths: The team has enough size, rebounding, and interior defense to hang and has a nice pipeline too. Solid shooting and they take a lot of threes. While the ratings may not show it, the defense works. Weaknesses: Playing time decisions. McIntosh (second-highest SI) comes off the bench now and his impact is limited. Garrison (third highest SI) doesn’t play much at all. They’re playing inferior big men over Bledsoe. Prediction: I think they hang around right above the demotion line. Notre Dame de Namur (119.8) - President: ImagineYeMum Coach: Ron Rangel (11/7/15/10) Outlook: A large roster trying to rebuild on the fly. Relies on a lot of upperclassmen and will need to develop and recruit well to stay in D2. Key players: C Stacey (128 SI SR) - 16 IS, 10 OS, 10 ID, 12 STR, a real beast down low PG Wenger (126 SI JR) - 12 OS, 11 RNG, 10/12/10/12/12 across IQ/PAS/HND/DRV/SPD (the PG relevant skills) G Madden (129 SI SR) - 12 RNG, 13 PAS, 13 DRV PF Weeks (116 SI SR walkon) - 10 REB, 10 ID Strengths: Has some size to use in different situations. They play decent all around - not many TOs, shoot well, defend decently, get steals and force TOs, rebound well. But nothing in the SI ratings indicates they should be this good. I don’t know exactly what it is. Coaching? Tactics (they play up tempo)? Weaknesses: The talent seems lacking, but as I said, they have played above the SI/TPI for a while (even going back to last season in VI). Prediction: They’re performing like a threat for promotion. I think they fall off in the second half a bit, but finish in the top half. USC Aiken (116.1) - President: kyrie11gg (hasn’t logged on in 2+ weeks, the day he registered) Coach: Stewart Peck (12/7/10/6) Outlook: A team severely lacking a star, but there is a nice distribution in the classes and SI. I think there is potential for a decent core to be there in a few years. Just needs time to develop. Key players: C Crowder (117 SI JR) - 13 IS, 10 ID PF Paquette (109 SI SO) - 11 OS, 12 REB, 10 STR F/C Stallworth (109 SI JR) - 10 OS, 11 SPD PG Pope (130 SI SR) - 10 PD, 12/12/10/9/14 across IQ/PAS/HND/DRV/SPD Strengths: This team has size, with four guys over 6’10” (3 main guys though) who combine for 85 minutes, 33 points, and 22 rebounds a game. Weaknesses: For once, the guards are quite bad. Even though the guards are the best players by SI, they struggle to hit shots. The best 3-point shooter is a 6’11” backup big (who is questionably taking four 3’s a game). Also, the team as a whole is not very good defensively and turn the ball over A LOT. Prediction: The team needs time to develop. They’ll do that in D3 next season. Brevard (115.7) - President: Bot Coach: Walter Cousins (13/0/0/0) <- yikes Outlook: Bot, so who cares? Two man game of Oliveri and Rojas is solid, but lack of skill and depth behind them. Not helped by a shortage of size beyond Newby. Key players: SF Oliveri (154 SI RS SR) - 10/11/15/6 across IS/OS/RNG/FIN, 10 REB, 14 PD, 12 HND, 11 STR, 12 SPD PG Rojas (137 SI JR) - 13 OS, 10 FIN, 11 PAS, 12 HND, 12 SPD C Newby (113 SI SO) - 10 IS, 11 REB Strengths: I’m struggling here…the team can kinda shoot, especially from beyond the arc. Also, not the worst at rebounding. Weaknesses: Size, did you expect anything else? Also, have major issues with depth, turnovers, and interior defense. Prediction: I mean, come on. Sayonara. Predicted Finish 1. UCF 2. Azusa Pacific 3. Flagler <- guess I was wrong about them in my blurb about them. Still 23 games to go. 4. Coker 5. Mississippi Valley State 6. Notre Dame de Namur 7. Dominican (CA) 8. Louisiana-Lafayette 9. New Mexico Highlands 10. South Carolina 11. MSU Moorhead 12. Point Loma Nazarene 13. Cal State Bakersfield 14. Georgia Southern 15. Brevard 16.

gards710 Joined: 05/17/2020 Posts: 492 Dominican Univ. of California Penguins I.1	Alright, let's bring in another aspect of analysis I really like and is crucial to this game! RECRUITS I've got some catching up to do this'll be long, but let's first take a look at the recent commits for the human-run teams in V.3! South Carolina got the ball rolling by signing one of the top players in South Carolina Tyrone Spears [104 SI 10 POT 2* HS standing 6'8.5" with a 7' wingspan at C pf] who could step in right away and be one of the better interior defenders on the team (not saying much, but he would help). He looks like a solid big - tall, athletic, quick - with no outstanding weaknesses really relevant to a big. UCF then got the #448-ranked recruit in the world with Dajon Webb [101 SI 12 POT 3* HS standing 6'6" with a 7' wingspan at C PF sf]. He looks pretty versatile, but should be in the front court. He'll be an efficient inside presence, rack up rebounds, and not hurt UCF on defense or with turnovers. Coker upped the ante with the #120-ranked recruit, Stacy Yancey [120 SI 11 POT 3* HS standing 6'4" with a 6'10" wingspan at C pf]. Undersized now, Yancey is expected to grow to 6'9" and seems to have the skillset to be a stretch big, as he can knock down outside shots, pass, rebound, and doesn't seem to have any outstanding weaknesses. Dominican (CA) chimed in with a big of their own, signing Philip Boone [92 SI 12 POT 3* HS standing 6' 5.5" with a 6'9" wingspan at PF C sf]. Also expected to grow to 6'9", Boone looks like a classic big man, being effective in the post on offense and especially defense. But he brings some speed too. His weaknesses appear to be his perimeter defense and maybe turnovers, but the Penguins are happy to land him. Cal State Bakersfield also hired a new head coach, Francisco Santos! Santos comes to CSUB most recently from Penn State, where he coached the team to 24-19 (21-9) record and a promotion from V to VI. Before that, Santos was actually the head coach at Dominican (CA) in 2013, where he also coached the team to a winning record in his debut season. Santos is known as an excellent teacher, and so President roadrunners must be hoping that he helps the young squad develop well. I think it's a good hire! And now for the bot-team commits: Flager with Rob Cahill - [92 SI 11 POT 2* JUCO standing 5'10.5" with a 6'2" wingspan at SG pg] - good-shooting guard with a below average handle and not much overall skill for his age. Georgia Southern signs Leon Campbell and Darren Benson. Campbell [68 SI 11 POT 2* HS standing 6'9.5" with a 7'6.5" wingspan at C pf] is big, can run, score, and defend. But that's about it (that might be enough). Benson [112 SI 13 POT 3* standing 6'5" with a 6'11" wingspan and a 43" vertical at PF c] is a short center, who would be scary at SF but doesn't know the game well and can't handle the ball, which equals too many turnovers to be as amazing as his ceiling. Still, he'll be quite good. Point Loma Nazarene signs Denny Naylor [97 SI 11 POT 3* HS standing 6'3" with a 6'4" wingspan at SF pg sg pf], an inefficient player who has the skillset of a guard. Brevard signs Richard Merola [107 SI 11 POT 2* JUCO standing 6' 0.5" with a 6'3" wingspan at SG PG] and Dante Lowery [101 SI 11 POT 2* JUCO standing 6'2" with a 6'7" wingspan at SG], two JUCO guards. Merola can shoot and is a decent PG, except that he turns the ball over too much. Lowery is pretty much a quick, defensive specialist with his speed and length. Flagler signs Thomas Nelson [103 SI 12 POT 3* HS standing 6' 0.5" with a 6'2" wingspan at PF pg c] who should probably be a guard. Finally, New Mexico Highlands landed Donnie Ryan [95 SI 11 POT 2* HS standing 5'8" with a 5' 11" wingspan at SF PG sg], who almost has to be a PG with his size.

Coker gave the boot to D'Angleo McHugh and gave a Christmas present to new hire Pete Jameson. Jameson is a 52-year old with 14 seasons of experience who excels in coaching in games, with good marks for offense and above average for defense. However, he appears to be slightly below average in teaching and recruiting. Coker is done with recruiting for this season, at least and now appears to want to make a push. Coker took an L in Jameson's debut at the start of the new year. Speaking of the turn of the year, Azusa Pacific and South Carolina kicked off 2015 by each signing a recruit. APU signed Thomas Horvath [104 SI 12/3* HS standing 6'1.5" with a 6'6" wingspan at SG pf], the 354th-ranked recruit. He looks like a solid SG all-around, providing defense, ball-handling, good shooting, and excellent SI growth to go along with a high current SI. On the HS court, he's been a little underwhelming, but he has been playing out of position, all over the court really, for his JR and SR seasons. South Carolina nabbed Frank Murphy [99 SI 11/3* HS standing 6'7" with a 6'10" wingspan at C pf], the 497th-ranked recruit. Clearly, Murphy has the size the Gamecocks covet. He'll be a useful, if plodding, big man who beefs up their front line with fellow signee Tyrone Spears. Be careful about Murphy's negative rebounding comment, however.

Will write about the human-run teams and ignore the bots #DownWithTheBots UCF and Azusa are the class of the conference and both in the top 10 in RPI in D2! Both teams just so talented, deep, and balanced, yet with distinctive play styles. The +/- Top 10 in V.3 is exclusively made of players from these two teams, yet only 1 player from either team is in the Top 10 in points per game. Hope they represent the conference well in the National Tournament. Notre Dame de Namur still surprising as heck to me that they're in line for promotion. Stacey appears to be a frontrunner for Conference Player of The Year, for good reason, as he has basically carried this team on his back. Flagler, Dominican, Mississippi Valley State, and Coker have had mostly ups to their seasons, but have dealt with inconsistency. Will any pull away and catch up to NDdN? Each has a player or two to watch in terms of All-Conference honors. Smack dab in the middle are Louisiana-Lafayette, whom has struggled, and Georgia Southern, whom has surprised a bit with a recent run. LL has tinkered a bit with their lineup to try to find the fix, but nothing has really stuck. They will need to find the right mix if they want to right the ship. NMH has played inconsistently, but well enough to keep above the demotion line. South Carolina, PLN, and MSU Moorhead are trying to fight each other and catch up to the three previous teams to get above the demotion line. That league-worst defense for South Carolina has really been a problem and they just don't have the firepower to get out of the hole it looks like. CSUB, USC Aiken, and Brevard still have a chance to get out of the red zone, but it will be tough, as CSUB is relying too much on walk-ons while their young guys RS and develop. Now, let's talk recruits! All since the last post... Bot Flagler got a potential big in Leonardo Leal [94 SI 10/2* HS standing 6' 5.5" with a 7' wingspan at C PF]. Louisiana-Lafayette secured two solid guards in Michael Anderson [113/11/3* HS standing 6' 0.5" with a 6'2" wingspan at PF pg sf sf c] and Jesse Adamson [102/12/3* HS standing 5'8" with a 6'3" wingspan at SG SF pg]. Anderson is the 164th-ranked recruit and looks like a nice guard who can shoot, pass, and play good defense. He's going to grow a bit more physically and will be speedy too, but his SI growth leaves some to be desired. Adamson got his grades in order and will bring a mixed bag of a PG to LL's campus. Adamson, the 442nd-ranked recruit, can shoot, is smart, can play good defense, and pass really well. But his handle is a little loose and he's slow. Two guys who will help the overall talent of the team, but, as with a lot of the current team, the fit may not be ideal. South Carolina locked down the 179th-ranked recruit Deion Kennedy [112/11/3* HS standing 6'1" with a 6'3" wingspan at SF PG sg]. The Gamecocks went north to nab Kennedy, who is an offensively-minded PG, showing a solid shot, smarts, passing ability, and ball handling, to go with his quickness. He also loves a good fast pace. He'll fit in with South Carolina, as he is as porous on defense as the rest of the roster. Bot Brevard stocked up on a versatile big/forward with Brant Parnell [85/12/3* HS standing 6' 3.5" with a 6'9" wingspan at SF pf c]. That's it for now. Enjoy!

gards710 Joined: 05/17/2020 Posts: 492 Dominican Univ. of California Penguins I.1	A couple of notable upsets right as we hit the halfway point to the conference season. Every other result was fairly chalk. Mississippi Valley State's starters go the distance vs UCF in a 91-80 win for the Delta Devils. It was a fast-paced game and the Knights two best players dealt with foul trouble, while Cheney was cold. Most of the team was cold in fact. Big win for MVS while the Knights will look to recuperate and prepare for a deep tournament throughout the second half. MVS also went all the way to Washington state for its most recent signee, the 163rd-ranked recruit Larry Browning [113 SI/12 POT/3* HS standing 5'11" with a 6'7" wingspan at PG sg sf]. Browning is a high-scoring guard, who can find teammates often, defends the perimeter well especially with those long arms, and is very fast. Looks like a solid guard, except his ball handling is not ideal. The other upset came at the hands of Louisiana-Lafayette, as Coker struggled to hit shots, and the Ragin' Cajuns starting front court vacuumed up 42 rebounds combined in the 91-57 blowout. Martin Ayala won POTG honors, leading 5 double-digit scorers, including Reardon hitting a career-high 5 threes. NMH signed Loyd Sweet [98/11/3* HS standing 6' with a 6'5" wingspan at PG sg sf], a New Mexico guard who wanted to stay close to home. Not the brightest with the ball, he can shoot, pass, and handle and is quick. Updated Sunday, September 27 2020 @ 4:36:30 pm PDT

EXCEPT for my team...with starting PG Leavitt out for 3 games, the Penguins thought it was a good time to get redshirting FR Stuckey some playing time. And since they were going up against CSUB, FR Clevenger entered the lineup too. Only for the stupid owner to forget to take the RS off! This ended up putting Jefferson and Andrews in the lineup, who are more skilled than the frosh. But the Roadrunners still upset the Penguins by 5. UGH, don't worry, basoy. I took the redshirts off for our upcoming game haha. Updated Monday, September 28 2020 @ 11:25:31 am PDT

gards710 Joined: 05/17/2020 Posts: 492 Dominican Univ. of California Penguins I.1	Haha, I usually "rest" my best players and play redshirting players against teams that I feel I have no chance at beating. Some people play their redshirts against the weaker teams, but I don't want to risk losing vs a team I should beat! But it still comes back to bite me sometimes, like now I have two starters out for the next game, an important matchup with a suddenly hot Louisiana-Lafayette! My team better right the ship... But maybe not as much UCF, who lost by 2 to Cal State Bakersfield! The Roadrunners may have found something and are gonna try their damndest to escape the red demotion cellar. A couple other matchups of teams in close competition. Coker takes a big L to visiting Georgia Southern, losing 92-76 to the surging Eagles. And Flagler beat MVS 100-89 to start to separate themselves from the pack in the race for fourth. Every other game went chalk, including a scintillating offensive performance by the LL Rajin Cajuns, although Notre Dame de Namur's Stacey scored 36 points with 21 rebounds, both career highs, in NDdN's 91-85 OT win over South Carolina. Someone want to explain to me how this guy "can never be a good rebounder"? On the recruiting side of things, only one player has signed in the past few days: MSU Moorhead signed an interesting player in Joe McFadden [85 SI/12 POT/3* HS standing 6'5" with a 6'8" wingspan at SG sf c]. McFadden could be a three-level scorer, good defender, decent ball handler, and good all-around. But while he should play well in a fast pace, he will not have the speed to really excel. While I see him stuck to the front court, he looks like he could develop into something interesting no matter what.

Not that Larsen would have made up that much of a difference. We gotta turn it around, but first, I have to stop making mistakes. Quite a few other interesting/important games: UCF gets back on track and destroys Azusa Pacific 73-42 thanks to some great pressure defense, forcing 24 TOs, 35% FG%, and just 10 fouls. Georgia Southern continues their recent run of better play, taking a win on the road against Notre Dame de Namur 74-71. Seven footer Napolitano neutralized Argonauts star C Stacey. New Mexico Highlands tamed Coker 84-75 behind a 20/12 double double from Gomez and 25 points from SG Black. Finally, MSU Moorhead withstood Mississippi Valley State's onslaught and came out with a 76-71 win. Despite 27 TOs, the Dragons got enough from their bench to outlast the Delta Devils. On the recruiting front, a couple signed with teams in the conference. Flagler landed a wing in Lionel Johnston. Quick and good at defense, I question his ability to score, as both his slashing and shooting look a little subpar when put in the context of his slow SI growth rate. Cal State Bakersfield connected with Nate Bridges. A small-ish big, perhaps Bridges makes his bread by being a combo forward, with good post play, defense, and passing, while hiding his subpar ball handling and rebounding. That's it for today. As the conference picture takes shape, teams might start looking towards the conference playoffs, the national tournament, and maybe even next year (and beyond). Good luck!

Results: Battle for Promotion: UCF ripped Louisiana-Lafayette apart by 60. Not much to say other than complete domination in every facet of the game by the Knights. Azusa Pacific thought it was a good opportunity to get some younger players (Rosado, Nielson) some PT over the usual starting C RS SR Stine...and it came back to bite them in their upset OT loss to USC Aiken. That said, the talented perimeter APU players still played and did not play as expected. Stacey, Wenger, and Starling combine for 63 points in NDdN's 78-66 win over PLN. Flagler comes back in the second half to beat CSU Bakersfield 72-66. Battle to Avoid Demotion: Mississippi Valley State wins a barnburner over South Carolina, 115-114. Not a lick of defense to be found. Jesus Argueta [25 pts/13 rebs on 11/18 FG, 2 steals, 2 blocks] has really come into his own, propelling MSU Moorhead to a 79-56 win over Brevard. Dominican keeps Coker close to the line with a balanced attack in a 87-74 victory. Notre Dame de Namur swoops into Tennessee to snag Devonte Glenn. [108/11/3* HS standing 5'10" with a 6'2" wingspan at C sg sf pf], the 314tth-ranked recruit who didn't mind going far from home. Glenn certainly is not a future big and looks more like a well-rounded SG who can score efficiently, defend the perimeter, handle the ball, and play fast. He can even rebound well for a guard.

gards710 Joined: 05/17/2020 Posts: 492 Dominican Univ. of California Penguins I.1	Oy, gotta catch up on the past few days. Recruits: Lemond Perry [74 SI/11 POT/2* HS standing 6'6" with a 6'10" wingspan at C pf] committed to bot Point Loma Nazarene because no one else wanted him. Could develop into a decent backup big (should grow taller), but has a really low SI and some low ratings (REB, IQ) with no negative comments there. UCF came away with the 308th-ranked recruit in Erik Stallworth [108 SI/12 POT/3* HS standing 5'11" with a 6'3" wingspan at PF pg sg sf]. Stallworth fits best as a SG and looks to be able to slash to basket really as well as be a sharpshooter. Nice pickup. Louisiana-Lafayette received the commitment of Mitch Snyder [81 SI/10/1* HS standing 6'9.5" with a 7' wingspan at C pf] who was looking to commit early, but had to wait for the Rajin Cajuns. Snyder though could be a steal with relatively high ratings in several important big man skills (IS, OS, REB, ID) and no negative comments there. A nice low-cost pickup for LL. Results [past 3 days, so no individual games, sorry]: Top of the card remains UCF and APU, with UCF maintaining a slight edge after APU took a tumble against MSU Moorhead. Notre Dame de Namur took two L's to teams in the top half. Teams in the top half are now within striking distance of the NDdN's promotion spot, with Flagler behind by a game. Louisiana-Lafayette and Mississippi Valley State have been closing the gap with their hot play recently. Flagler still holds a 1 game over them. I hope one of the human-run teams takes it over Flagler. Dominican and Georgia Southern are on the outskirts, but to be honest, I'm more concerned with avoiding the demotion line. Coker is in big trouble, tied with MSU Moorhead at the border of the demotion zone and only ahead on point differential. MSU Moorhead is basically a bot since their new President hasn't logged in since signing up. Things look real bad for South Carolina, Cal State Bakersfield, PLN, USC Aiken, and Brevard. Hoping the human-run teams can catch the bot teams!

CSU Bakersfield pulls off an upset on the road, taking a 78-71 win over Mississippi Valley State. All the other games went chalk. Other big news is that Georgia Southern recently hired a new President, who is apparently a phone number (sorry, couldn't resist)! Welcome, 4892466875! As always, down with the bots! Azusa Pacific's coaches took a trip to Senegal and landed Mamadou Touré [82 SI/12 POT/ 3* INTL standing 5'10.5" with a 6'3" wingspan at SG sf]. International players are always risky to me, but Touré seems like a good player to bet on. A potential three-level scorer who can defend and handle the ball, he probably fits best as a guard of some sort. Even then, physical growth will help his ability to play more than PG. I'm not impressed by his speed though, and as I said, a lot of growth needs to happen if APU is going to use him. Updated Monday, October 5 2020 @ 4:00:45 pm PDT

gards710 Joined: 05/17/2020 Posts: 492 Dominican Univ. of California Penguins I.1	V.3 Conference Round Up #24-#25 Battle for Promotion: Notre Dame de Namur still has their 1 game lead over MVS, LL, and Flagler, despite NDdN losing their last two. This is because LL (last game) and Flagler (lost last two) have not taken advantage and MVS has shot ahead with their 2 game win streak. Battle to Avoid Demotion: Three teams (MSU Moorhead, Georgia Southern, Coker) are tied with only 18 points separating them all in point differential. Not only does every game count, every point counts! GS has gone cold and now sits below the line, but MSU Moorhead has the least active President...Coker has bounced back with a 2-game win streak as well. New Owners: MSU Moorhead got a new President who hasn't logged in since registering. Georgia Southern, PLN, and NMH each got a new president. We'll see who remains active. Recruits: Dominican lands Tom Mitchell [91 SI/12 POT/3* HS standing 6'1" with a 6'5" wingspan at SF pg sg pf], who we project as a backup guard who we hope can develop. We like that he can shoot from long range, pass, and handle the ball. He's also not a bad defender. But his IQ leaves a lot to be desired for a guy who we want to handle the ball a lot. Flagler landed a really good JUCO player, Ron Wellman [123/11/2* JUCO standing 6'0.5" with a 6'3" wingspan at PG sg], who look like a sharpshooting PG, but also has a subpar IQ and is quite slow. Finally, new Point Loma Nazarene President is welcomed with the news of signing Kerry Hicks [102/12/3* HS standing 6'1.5" with a 6'5" wingspan at C SG sf pf]. Hicks should probably be a guard, maybe a PG and he seems like a pretty well-rounded player (no ratings under 6), but does not shoot a lot nor play outstanding defense (although he's been playing at center for the past two seasons of HS). Should develop into a good role player at the least.

Mississippi Valley State and Louisiana-Lafayette are now tied for the last promotion with the same point differential heading into the final game! MSV earned a 22-point win over Dominican and now faces top team UCF while LL beat former promotion incumbent Notre Dame de Namur 93-79 and now faces Coker. This should be an exciting last game. In the battle for demotion it's between MSU Moorhead and Coker, with Coker holding the one game lead, but with a worse point differential. MSU Moorhead plays a very cold Notre Dame de Namur while Coker plays an LL team that will be going all out. Just one recruit has signed recently, that being Sergio Rico signing with Georgia Southern. Rico is a Puerto Rican with 74 SI/12 POT/2* guard and with a really good scouting report. We'll see if he can grow into that enough. Brevard hired a new President, Qcthelabel. Welcome! He hasn't logged in since registering...

The first round of the conference playoff went just about chalk...except of course I am the only team to get upset! Thanks to me not playing my starting SG McLaughlin and Coker making a smart play and bringing the RS off Copeland. Coker demolished Dominican by 31 and looking at it, I don't think McLaughlin would have made up that much of a gap. Congrats and good luck to all in the rest of the CT, the NT, and beyond!
