Well... the formula sees parity.  Lots of parity.  I think Rogue pulls 13 or 14 victories and I'm dubious on Koop getting 8 with his REB, but we'll see.

You have more faith in York than I do, Andrew.  It is my first "slow down" season in awhile.  Thanks for the predictions.

LOL 8 wins? I doubt I'm even winning 5 games this year.

Probably would get into the NT at 8-8.  Might just try and find out.  No G SPF > 58, only one REB >80, several defensive holes.  This team overperformed in NC play.

The good news for Cardinals fans out there is that this is the best recruiting class for CUA in a while.  The German is a quad high G who is getting the minute to bolster his WE enough to make a 75 SPD/60 PE/90BH/65P not seem unrealistic.  Swarey will pair with Sanabria to give two monster REBers who are functional in other areas, I swear.  The Justin Allen Show will be fun to watch, projecting to near 70 ATH/SPD/P/BH.  Next year's team should be much better than this years even as Walters continues to show what happens to great profiles with terrible WEs.

Probably need 8 wins to make the PIT, I don't think they get near there.  A fast SR PG is the only elite player, though the ATH emphasis plays well in the new engine.

Coffey gives this team some rebounding jolt; the two recruits (Sanders and Mathis) as opposites; Sanders is well balanced, ok in all skills, exceptional in none.  Mathis is the opposite, starting with the best P rating on the team and moving in on the best PE, but handicapped by 15 BH and what appears to be 40 Low SPD.

8-8 = borderline NT.  5-11 = borderline PIT.  The latter looks more likely than the former after the 0-3 start, but there is a lot to like here; 3 big REB guys, strong offensive skills.  Their defense has been abyssmal to date with an ugly opposition 51% FG%.

Florio and McClerkin the Court have both picked up 4 PE points so far and look like 70 PE guys.   Holtberg will make the team much better on D next year with the possibility of 80SPD/80DEF.  They'll miss The Blaze, but they should still have 3 80+ REBs as Zeltmann should be ready to be an elite big by then.

The Gallaudet W was big.  I think anything better than 5-11 gets them in the PIT.  I like the starting 5, it's the bench bigs that are a challenge.  The SF dilemma is real; do you go with the superior IQ'ed and D'ed Maurice "Night Train" Lane or the better balanced Raymond Wilson?  This one looks like it should be matchup driven; I'm not sure Wilson isn't more needed on the bench for scoring.

For Wilson's development, the more minutes and WE improvemen, the better. Rogers is a high LP/REB guy and could be the best Goucher big in quite a while, though maybe short of lasting to the 25th Century.  The long term issue is that the positions haven't lined up well for recruiting with this year's strong upper class G's giving way to a nice core of young bigs without the little guys to get them the ball.

Wow.  MW's probably in if they lose the rest of the way.  I think 12ish wins are likely for America's favorite -5 squad.  Russell T's persistent ATH recruitment has definitely paid off with this squad.

Southwell goes to his south well, but isn't much of a shooter.  He'll have to pick up a ton of SPD points (4 so far) to get to elite PG status.  Volpe (Spanish for "no defense") has all the other skills of a great big.  He can hide in the zone and is more valuable to MW than to most teams.  Myatt's emergence as a Sophomore shouldn't be ignored.

I like this team's success prospects a lot for this year.  Check out how nc has molded Molden's ATH/LP combo from the SF spot.  Impressive.  I'd like this team with 10 more of REB on one of the other top 3 bigs, but this is a legit S16/E8 type squad.

The FR look good (Moore's +4 REB alleviating some concerns that he needed more REB rating); you can see that the new SF is Cooking with +3 PE so far this year.  This Baldwin brother is the Usual Suspect: a pass-first PG.  He can dish the 30 Rock around the court until he is Departed from Marymount.  The squad next year shouldbe a touch better, particularly if the offseason WE improvements get Lukes and Mitchell both about 80 REB.

Outstanding. This conference is not only fun to play in, but it's also fun to follow the other teams as well.

Fighting for a high seed.  Wren is the early season favorite for CPOY.  JR PG Farrish missed 6 games with an injury.

The CAC has had more Lawrence's than any other surname.  Just a ridiculous number.  Darren is part of York's Family, hoping his 6 DU doesn't make him as lame as Bubba's humor value.  Wood will mainly grab some the next two season's watching Brogan develop as a better version of himself.  His 70+ ATH as a FR (one of 4 on the team) is ridiculous.  Sheriff Taylor looks high is ATH, SPD, REB and ST.  That should impress Aunt Bea.  Rogue knows what he is doing and the engine changes to favor ATH have not hurt his outlook.

A PIT is not out of the question, but the lack of REB depth and PE skills make it an uphill climb.  The Thumpers have started 0-4 in conference; a 7-5 finish would secure a PIT bid.

Matter's lack of ATH/SPD darkens an otherwise attractive package; his REB/DEF/BLK/LP/PE rival any SF in the conference.  Not that it Matter's but I'll be curious to see how his profile plays, particularly against the likes of Wood.   Maybe he can Horn in for enough rebounds to make it work.  Mosby looks like he'll get mid 60's in REB which should be the worst pairing with a nicely developing Doroski.  It's likely that Thompson/Wright/Matter/Bush/Dorosky with Mosby on the bench is an PIT/NT squad in 2 seasons.

Part of the 4-way battle for Southern supremacy.  An NT team finishing anywhere 1 to 4.  Home of the most lopsided distributions in the CAC, this squad depends on ATH (no one's G's have better) and Rochon (the 174 ATH+REB is ridiculous).  Foul trouble to him and this team folds; let him play and face defeat.

The monotony of profiles shouldn't be lost.  Cook's REB prowess is the defining oddity.  Given their development to date, you have to like Fisher's odds of emerging as the King of this class.   It's a fine NT quality five for the future, thought the lack of PE is part of a worrisome trend in The Hood.

I like the starting 5 here a lot; I'd like their NT run chances more if Thorpe was 10 points better in REB or LP, but all the pieces are here.

I love the two bigs, both of home look to be headed to ~80 REB ratings with enough ATH/LP/BH to make them players.  Coop I have to love for his name (my son is Cooper, or Coop for short).  This Coop looks high in PE and SPD potential, the latter of which my genes prevent my Coop for hoping for.  Options' style is very similar to Geoff's at Hood.  The Hill has a little more PE and LP this year which gives them the edge.

This is not a bad team in a buzz saw of a division.  They have no hope of making either dance, but can wait for a big recruiting dollar payoff from their opponents.  Texas Ranger has maybe the most impressive improvement line of anyone in the CAC.  Have I underplayed WE?  THat guy is very good and will soon be a monster.  Mark Walker doesn't do pushups, he pushes the world down.

Marry Christmas!  You got a pure SG!  Noel's high SPD/PE/BH plays.  Beans Stokely looks green in REB and should be functional along side Texas Ranger.

The 10 NT's, no S16's is an oddity.  This team should make the NT, but I can sees a scenario where they go 1-5 vs the other big Southern teams, split with the North, drop one to the 2nd tier teams, and find themselves sweating selection Sunday.  In a Twist, Toliver might be the best of the hyper ATH SF's, scoring 16+ ppg on 56% shooting.

I love Morgan, Wyatt, Clark, and Raglin among the FR and SOs, getting the right SF to break their S16 drought is crucial in the next recruiting class.  I don't know how every 5 seasons Lucious ends up with a guy like Raglin who projects to 80REB/80LP.

Good stuff, Andrew.  Your previews/reviews are all that much more useful/necessary with new engine changes to track.
