bob87,

 

What I want to know is why it took you 5 whole minutes to respond to the original post.

I did notice a few inaccuracy's however....Marist lost their coach to JMU and if I'm not mistaken he took Somenoy with him to JMU. Siena is missing Downy I believe. Marrist will fall on tough times next season as they are in a major rebuilding mode. EDIT: Also no mention of Theo Davis at Bing.

I can understand them making a mistake with the Bing roster. No one really knew who was going to end up there.

 

They missed Scotty McRae for us as well. Should be six recruits for us and maybe a higher ranking?

[Patch]

Lets not get too anal about the rating - In my opinion they're pure bull$iena and alot of pollitcs goes into the ratings.

 

If a guy signs with an A10 school or higher a 2 automatically becomes a 3 in the final ratings. If a kid is a 3 he somes times drops to a 2 after committing to an AE school.

 

Also look at Bings avg rating 4.3 good for 52 and St Bonnies avg rating is 2.8 and they're rated 33 who do you think has recruited the better players.

 

These types af rating stir the conversation in the off season but other than that they're insignificant.

 

I can't worry about rankings for UA because I have no clue who will start other than Connelly.
