Phelan Report
Season 143 Edition 2
Oh snap that was fast, The regular season is over and I never did a mid season report. My bad ill do better next year. Her are the trends before conference Tournament play.
1. A10 West is the best overall division in Phelan hands down. Reasons why below.
-Xavier(RPI 2) and LaSalle (3) both have a shot to make a title run with a very high probability of getting 1 or 2 seeds no matter the outcome of their conference tournament.
-Dayton(43) and Robertoo is the worst team in the division with a 43 RPI. They have struggled against the overpowering defense of his conference foes. Their zone defense just cant compete with the multiple press teams in the conference.
-Richmond (27), St Louis (25), and George Washington (17) can beat any team in the country on their best day. These teams have potential to make realistically elite 8 runs and maybe a final four run if everything falls their way. Shout out to Coach Deemo for building GW back to a competitive force in only 6 seasons. GW has missed every NT since the departure of Thunderduck, when he accepted the Xavier job in season 119.
2. A10 East is the Least
-“The Island” has sunk but the recent signing of juco guard Horn has given the Rams hope for the near future.
-St. Joes wins their fist conf regular season championship in 15 years. Honestly its not saying much when the rest of the unnamed teams in their division are .500 or worse in conference. The West waxed their A$$ this season.
3. Recruiting Session 1
The battles began some rolls rolled, and the WIS have started to decide where recruits are attending school next season. The Big East leads the way with signing 8 5 star recruits this far. 3 of those are attending UCONN, “The arrival of Coach Money changed my outlook on the huskies” said recent signee and top 10 forward Norman Bradley.
Top Recruit John Lee Signs with the Kentucky Wildcats. “ Big Blue Nation dropped into my DMs and convinced me it was my destiny to take them to another championship. At first all the attention I was getting from these random people was weird but then I realized they Live and breath basketball in Kentucky. I almost went to Louisville for that very reason as well, but BBN swayed me with their crazy ways. “
