Thanks for that post.  Interesting interview with the Whittier HC.  Any football scrimmages for the SCIAC schools?

Whittier, nice to see they have hire a coach with more local ties, BTW they are expecting over 1000 students, since their great experiment, note short signing linemen

Chapman,  I dont expect much of a drop off...Coach O is a good guy...

UR, it's going to come down to how well the O line plays...everyone around UR football knows it...Its very tough to find good ones.  OB is back practicing, I expect him to run less. Quicker plays.

I had an interesting conversation with a non U of R coach. This league as I have been harping when it comes down to who has the best O line in league. Its no secret among the coaches. Hence Coach White at Whittier can not even tell you what offence he will be running. CMS is winning the arms race, facility, national recruiting and very low cost to attend which makes it just as enticing as a some 1AA school. If CMS is not in the top of the league in every sport, the HC should be fired given the fact above. Pomona not far behind given their aid too.

I would expect CMS to be a little down this year. They have a really good defensive staff so that will probably keep them in most games but they graduated a ton of production. They started 10 seniors on offense in their last game of the season including the school's all-time leading rusher. They also appear to have a new offensive coordinator although I know the HC has a big hand in their game-planning and play calling so not sure that's a huge change.

They have recruited really well the last 5-10 years and historically they have been able to do a little bit with transfers and grad transfers so maybe they'll reload quickly, but generally losing that many starters takes time to adjust. They'll need to be very stout on D early in the season.
