Lynchburg Recruiting Analysis Season 25
PG - James "EF" Hutton: 5'11", 177 lb Grant Deuel HS, Revillo, SD
Looking a solid point guard with excellent ball handling and passing skills, we lucked into a player who was also versed in our offense and defense. James is also an excellent foul shooter, has good speed, and is adept from the perimeter. He should fit in nicely as our primary backup point guard for the next 3 years, then take over to lead the team as a senior. However he could potentially work his way into the starting lineup if Kelly or Matranga falter.
PF - Martin "Slick Rick" Myricks: 6'8", 209 lb Prairie HS, Cottonwood ID
In the mold of current starting PF Terry Lambert, Martin brings an all-around game that will help play multiple positions. This year he looks to be taken under the wing of Mr. Lambert to learn how to use his somewhat meager defensive skills within the zone framework. He will likely be groomed to take over the position next year.
C - James "the Big OG" Ogara: 6'6", 210 lb E. Guilford HS, Gibsonville, NC
James is a fantastic low post threat and solid shot blocker who will be taking a redshirt year to improve his rebounding and lung capacity. George Wendt had more stamina getting from the front door of Cheers to his bar stool. I think he has severe asthma.

PI: Lynchburg, Washington & Jefferson
COY: whunt
POY: Donald Black, Eastern Mennonite (although he may be hurt by hoosier's frequent choice of slowdown), 2nd choice: Nicholas Planas, Guilford
Hard to figure the new guys at this point. I know we have good coaches, but I'm not sure that they have been able to upgrade their trainwrecks just yet. I think we have one more year of lower top 10 conference RPI and probably are not yet ready for getting 6+ teams into the postseason.

sorry wolfe...it's not about the coach, it's about the talent. But they don't call you "The Program Fixer" for nuthin'!
12/6/2007 10:00 PM
Is this how you guys treat the newbies? Consensus last-place picks? Wolfe, it's a good thing we're not in the same division, or one of us would have to be fifth! Or seventh.

Agreed jc, I mean geez, come on fellas, I can (and generally do) get this kind of abuse at home. Talk about 'really feelin the love'.

Colville's season 25 predictions...(a little late)

The beast of the East:

1. Guilford - Best group of guards we have ever had. Young up front.

2. E. Mennonite - Veteran front court and solid per.. Looks like might be installing a new D, if so could hurt a little.

3. Lynchburg - Somewhat a young team. Good front line.

4. Emory and Henry - Should be much improved. Also could be learning a new D ?

5. Hampden - Sydney - New (but Veteran) coach. Strong perimeter play.

6. Bridgewater - Lacks rebounding, still could be a season away.

Now for the Best of the West...

1. Washington and Lee - Set for another deep tourney run?

2. Bethany - Looking to continue to build on recent success. Solid top to bottom.

3. Randolph - Macon - Solid all around team. But not "great" at anything.

4. W and J - Young team, new coach, maybe still a season away.

5. Roanoke - 4 seniors but Sim recruits. Lacks Reb. and LP.

6. V. Wesleyan - Another young team and new coach. Could also be switching defenses.

NT - E. Menn., Guilford, W and L
PI - Bethany, Lynchburg
CT - E. Mennonite
COY - whunt
POY - who knows?

Good Luck everyone!

Bridgewater dropping to 133 RPI combined with a first round matchup that won't help their cause forces me to drop them from the hopefuls list. It'll take a conference tournament championship now to make the postseason. I might change my mind if things fall right (win over H-S + 1st round vs. VW + advance to final).
