So waiting on Trine (they've had a roster posted for some time, but it is only 12 returning players, so I assume this will be updated with incoming guys) and ahem Hope - refresh, refresh, refresh ....


Once they are all posted, I will repost the recruit list including who is on a roster

Olivet roster is posted:

https://www.olivetcomets.com/sports/mbkb/2026-27/roster

17 man roster, with 3 FR - Blake Schuch from our known recruit list, plus 5-10 Drew Floyd from Detroit MLK, and 7-0 355lb Jayden Kenney from Holly. 



RANT - I really dislike the Olivet website - the ads make it extremely slow and are constantly in the way of seeing the actual content

Kalamazoo roster is posted:

https://hornets.kzoo.edu/sports/mbball/roster

16 man Roster, with 7 FR - 6 known recruits plus 6-3 Eric Noblin from Orlando FL and two JR transfers from Montcalm CC (Big Rapids HS) - 6-3 Dawson Dunn and 6-4 Mason Dunn (presumably brothers).

Calvin's roster is posted:

https://calvinknights.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster

All 13 of the known recruits/transfers (10 FR and 3 transfers) are included in the 22 man roster.  One additional FR that was not on our recruit list is 6-0 guard Kade Clayton from Vancouver BC. 

6 underclassmen from last years roster did not return (5 who logged less than 40 minutes total), most notably Brady Ewing who appeared in all 27 contests.

Alma Roster:

https://almascots.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster

All but one of our known recruits is on the roster.  Roster also includes Jr Derian Williams - transfer from Alpena CC

Adrian has a "roster" posted - it's a list of 37 players, and still shows Tim Kaiser as the head coach.  Must be a work in progress.  Our recruit list for Adrian was completely blank.

If you look just at W/L for the league in non-con (not including playoffs) you might think this is a down year.  Since Calvin joined in FB it looks like this:

2026 14-10
2025 17-7
2024 18-6

The opponents (aka SOS) for the league as a whole is much better this year, hence the better rating (Massey currently has the MIAA as the 7th best conference)

If anyone has checked rosters to see who did and didn't make it to campus this fall, please share.

Albion is the only posted full roster at this point (several others have a roster that only shows returning players).  The Britons show all of their recruits on this seasons roster

First full roster posted for this coming season comes from Albion:

Trine	82	10	0.704	3	68	4	6

Feels like Hope might have hit a sweet spot - roughly 1/2 of your non-cons were "better" than you last season, and half "worse" - could be the same for Trine and Alma depending on their TBD opponents
