I think it is waaaaay too early to be making this kind of statement/prediction. You only need to look as far as the Dukes being picked last for this past season to understand that nobody has any idea what kind of teams the portal will yield. This was true a month before the season & is at least doubly true 7 months before next season. Did anyone besides me see at the recent 76ers vs. Mavericks game in Philly that Thomas Kline, he of the $50M donation to Duquesne Law School, caught a basketball to return to the ref while seated on the sideline? He and his lady companion almost got trampled by one of the hoopers. If he is that big a hoops fan why not approach hIm to use his name as a sponsor to a holiday invitational tournament at the Coop fieldhouse? Just a random thought! Using a Duquesne grad who contributed mightily to the $333,333,000.00 campaign might not be a bad idea. Whaddya folks think? Positive and/or negative comments welcome. Besides Ace Baldwin in the transfer portal, Yuri Collins is turning pro and foregoing his final season at SLU. Top teams losing top players. VCU lost a lot more than Baldwin, their entire starting five and George Mason lost their top four players. Dayton lost two of their top 6 players and not done yet. You mentioned St Louis. That’s four of the teams that finished ahead of us, the lone team left that finished ahead of us is Fordham. If we can’t finish in the top three next year that would be a disgrace. Plus it is looking like a one bid team again next year for the A-10. Besides Ace Baldwin in the transfer portal, Yuri Collins is turning pro and foregoing his final season at SLU. Top teams losing top players. RMU's Cheeks committed to Dayton Keith Dambrot has the fourth longest coaching tenure of their current team of all A-10 Coaches. Insane. Mike Rhodes from VCU is supposed to be going to Penn State. And Penn State won their conference tourney led by Siena, Bucknell, and Drexel transfers Penn State lost their conference tourney championship game. I can't stand everything about PSU and it irked me to see this post so I needed to correct it. You're right, they lost by 2 to Purdue after fumbling an in-bounds pass. The point was that they were led successfully by low-major transfers. VCU replaces Mike Rhoades (Penn State) with Ryan Odom. The craziness of the portal is emphasized now since the entire VCU team is in the portal including Ace Baldwin player of year. I'll take the whole team!!
