Also, what happened to Arcadia? I thought they brought a lot back from last year's conference finalist team?

It looks like Stevenson's best freshmen from last year, Cameron Hayes, transferred to D2 Bowie State. It sucks to see him transfer as he would have been a key piece in returning Stevenson to a top tier conference contender! Link of proof is below:

It's become a significant factor in college ball, but usually lower D1 teams losing their best players to upper D1 teams.

There have been a handful of players who have left Mid-Atlantic teams (Goucher, St. Mary's, Stevenson, others) for Bowie State... and it is the last we hear from them. I know there are several factors usually in play, but usually it is someone in their ear telling them they can be great outside of DIII - or how they are "better" than "this level." I can't tell you how frustrating this is. Personally, these gentlemen have a chance to stand out at their respective colleges and only get lost at Bowie State. The proof has been in the pudding for years... but don't tell those who only see division levels and nothing else. Bowie State could get beat by quite a few DIII schools in this region alone.

Below are my preseason predictions for the 2017-18 season. This is my assumed regular season standing before conference tournament play occurs, which is when crazy things happen! The rating (.#) is a formula I built to test this season. It is based on a WMA (Weighted Moving Average) of previous 5 years (40% of rating), production rate returning: points, rebounds, and assists (40%), and coach's years at institution (20%).

Good luck to everyone this season!

Preseason Prediction

Tier 1: Championship Contenders (.575 to .625)
Alvernia: 1st (.625)
Leb Val: 2nd (.597)
Lycoming: 3rd (.592)

Tier 2: Dark Horse (.525 to .574)
Albright: 4th (.529)

Tier 3: Noise Makers (.475 to .524)
Arcadia: 5th (.506)
Stevenson: 6th (.484)
Widener: 7th (.484)

Tier 4: Middle of the Pack (.425 to .474)
Messiah: 8th (.456)

Tier 5: Bottom Feeder (.409 to .424)
Hood: 9th (.409)
Go Mustangs!

I think there is a pretty clear three team race on paper this year- Lyco, LVC, Albright. It's hard to imagine Lyco not repeating again but I wouldn't sleep on LVC- not that anyone is. Two potential All Americans (both All American talent) in Orr and Light. When you can shoot and have a dynamic two man game with SCORERS that could be a good thing for you.

Stream of consciousness: I like Stevenson this year to surprise some and make a quick climb out of the basement. Messiah, another basement team had a nice win over Eastern Mennonite. New faces at Alvernia but I think they have enough for a playoff run for the 4/5 seed. Hood looks bad.
