[/quote] Nice breakdown BUT … Tier ONE coaches outside of Pitino…. (Masiello, Baggett and Rice) are boat anchors, they automatically get lowered a notch!
Siena has as good a shot as any of those 3![/quote]
Thanks for the compliment on the preview!
I'm not disagreeing with your viewpoint but on paper those teams with those players they are ahead of certain teams as of right now.
As you mention Coaching Quality is important too. Out of those coaches you mention, Masiello has the best shot to get to a MAAC final due to him getting a MAAC championship (even though it was years ago). I agree those coaches are definitely not as good as Pitino.
Siena does have a lot of moving parts right now. Carm has proved himself the first two years. Let's see what happens.
You could make a case for any team to finish 2nd to 11th, except Iona as the clear favorite. This wasn't easy to group at all.

Will be interesting to see Siena’s starting 5— I’m guessing Gaines/Stormo/Carpenter are locks.
PG: Carpenter (McCallum) SG: Hopkins (Rogers) SF: Kellier (Johnson) (Owens) PF: Gaines (Billups) (Baer) C: Stormo (Young) (Tertsea)

We have so many of the same type of player IDK how you pigeonhole anyone into a SG Wing or PF slot.
We’re basically a 4 out 1 in team, hope we press and run like hell!

I agree it will be “positionless basketball” which Carm wants. Makes you harder to defend. Our 3s and 4s are pretty interchangeable with Johnson, Gaines, Kellier, Owens and Billups. I expect a lot more of running and pressing — ie attack and finish!

PG: Carpenter (McCallum) SG: Hopkins (Rogers) SF: Kellier (Johnson) (Owens) PF: Gaines (Billups) (Baer) C: Stormo (Young) (Tertsea) We've known the roster. But we can only speculate on several of the players and their potential. I must say though that when I read the roster posted here by position that my first thought was that it will be nice to have some depth this year after last season. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope we can stay healthy and maybe we can surprise a few people!

I can’t predict where we’ll finish, but very hopeful that we have the players that can push the tempo and press effectively.

Jacob Rigoni is coming back to Quinny next year. Still not 100% sold on the Bobcats moving into Tier 1.

I'm excited that with 9 new players we are projected at 2nd The title of the article says, "2-11 are completely up for grabs." I dont see that as him picking us 2nd. He may have written about us 2nd out of respect for the last 2 seasons, but he sees the MAAC like most of us....8-9 teams could easily finish 2nd.

I’m not convinced Iona runs away with this thing (at least not by a wide margin) but we’ll see, isn’t Rick due to settle up with the NCAA?
Like I’ve said many times I’d rather be the hunter than the hunted!
