Sr/So class for scoop. Has been showcasing elite offense this season already. Oden is a 3 point machine and Magoon is a freak of nature as well as Champion off the bench is a major weapon. Scoop is a rising coach in phelan and looks to have Shenandoah as a major player in the landscape in Phelan. Non conf will give scoop the ability to get a lead going for the top rpi/sos as he should easily get into the top 10 if not higher(he managed 1/1 with the jr/fr class last seasons) and then put down the clamps in USAS conference play. Look for 22 wins at least in the regular season and a top 3 rpi/sos. A 1 seed(overall 1) should come from this season.

Broussard in the triangle is amazing in the triangle offense. And look at the defense kevutz has on this team. I think Schmidt is going to be a underrated but integral part to the deep run this team makes. I love Aron's speed which makes him a dual threat offensively and defensively. The schedule will let us see how good they can be as well as get them ready to make a move for a 2/3 seed since conference play will drag them down as usual. At worst I think they go 7-3 and they won't lose a game in conference. Augustana has been one of the most consistent teams in Phelan for a long long time and it's been nearly 20 seasons since the last final four which will change this season.

Grabbing Finck as a transfer could make this season for rak. Finck is a dream for as a sf imo. 93 lp 49 per is going to be insane in the fastbreak. Easily should hit 20 ppg for the season (71% with 21ppg). The two starting guards have elite speed. Having Smith of the bench is crazy he could start on 99% of teams in D3. If the big men have any development left Potsdam could make a push to be the favorite. An undefeated non conf looks likely and I think they can pull off at least 14 wins in conference. They'll manage to get a 1 seed and make a deep run

On pure skill alone Millsaps has the best offense in the nation. As Jr/So it took them to the final four and it will again this season. Long is an absolute monster! 95 stamina in the press is unfair to the rest of us. Defensively there is not a player in the nation capable of scoring against Swanson with his 99 ath/def. Millsaps might be a "surprise" pick come seed they will end up in a really tough bracket as a 5ish seed even though they have some of the best collection of talent. Looking for 24 wins but the weakest rpi/sos of the predicted teams.

Conference crown gets won by the USAS however the SUNYAC puts in a really good fight with the USAS performing better in the NT to lock it up.
