2016-2017 Roster

[godanesgo99]

Anyone have any insight on how the team looks and is progressing so far for this upcoming season? This off-season feels like it lasting forever.

 

Looks like the starting 5 will be Cremo, Ennema, Nichols, Rowley, and Stire with Andrews and Charles being first off the bench?

 

Tons of new guys: I think WB mentioned someone was already injured? Any idea of who is gonna get time? The team looks real deep based on what I read on the new guys.

 

I assume the team will be the pre-season #3 pick - behind VT and NH, slightly ahead of SBU?

 

I know the season is still 3-4 months away, but I want info

It'll be interesting to see if Andrews is the first guard off the bench as his minutes tailed off as the season went on. I kind of thought he would have more of impact considering our other guards were freshman but, then again, Cremo.

For me seeing it was like an early scene from the movie Major League where they were looking through the owner's roster request and one meeting participant replied: "I've never heard of half of these guys."

Roster is in wait and see mode, but I think we'll be pleasantly surprised. Staff has earned the benefit of the doubt at this point, pieces come and go and it's seemed to have worked itself out over the past however many years. Gotta like a lot of our pieces, question marks here and there, but the pieces are in place.

The full roster is now posted. Travis Charles is listed as a redshirt junior. I hadn't heard an announcement that he got an extra year but that's good news.

Didn't know where else to put this, and didnt think it deserved it's own thread...

I can't see Hartford being better than UML or Binghamton but they do get Carroll back.

Also no shot UMBC is last in the league. Lord knows they didn't play defense last season, but that perimeter is too talented offensively.

who you putting below them?

[godanesgo99]

It's really too early for power rankings as teams haven't even started practicing yet. The only thing any of us have to go on is who was lost from each team. We don't have a clue what our own team has really much less the rest of the league. I only posted to get some more basketball talk going on.

 

From what I have read, their article is probably pretty close, but I'd do something like this:

 

1. Vermont - They showed so much potential last year, have almost everyone back, a couple new players should make an instant impact. They are going to be tough.

2. Albany - Maybe New Hampshire will overtake them - but I still have my purple glasses on. Yes UA lost 3 all-conference players - but I am excited to see what Rowley will do as a Senior. Stire should keep improving - he became a beast at the end of the season last year, Cremo is Cremo and if what Will Brown says about Nichols and Devonte Campbell is true - that could be a great starting 5 by the time conference play rolls around. Something tells me Dallas is going to have a big year, we know what Travis Charles can do if he is healthy, and the rest of the team seems very deep.

3. New Hampshire - Return what they return and you start out as a potential favorite.

4. UMass Lowell - Still not eligible but what that team has done and their direction should be scary for the league

5. Hartford: Even without Waffles this team looks good on paper

6. SBU: Still has some great pieces, but there will be growing pains. lots of them

7. UMBC: Lyles and Elliot can carry a team of walk-ons. I bet Wincowski takes a leap forward, and some of their other players showed promise last year. They should finish near the bottom half of the league, but they also could beat any team in the league on any given night.

8. Binghamton: I have 0 confidence that this team will win a single game this year, I know they have some talent, but until the prove otherwise - I see them as a bottom feeder.

9. Maine: It looked like they were going to improve, but then they lost Vann. It's is gonna be cold in Maine this winter.

My list would look close to this one.

Maine lost Kevin Little and Vann, I'd definitely put them last. Hartford should be better defensively on the perimeter w/out Pancake but they needed him to take over games last year.

 

Right now w/out looking closer at it I'll go

 

6) Binghamton

7) UMBC

8) Hartford

9) Maine
