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.

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.

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.   no hard feelings

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.
