Northern Sun
This season is a bit of a rebuilding year for the Northern Sun overall, without any pre-season ranked teams. Here is a preview of each division.

East

Minnesota- Duluth: Last year’s East Division champs, yungs’ old team, has new leadership from mrwiggles. Last season, as a sim strengthened by yungs’ recruits, UMD made the NT as a 12-seed. This season, the Bulldogs look to return to East Division contention and the NT with nine upperclassmen. Expect PF Micah Breedlove to lead a group that handles the ball and rebound well, with effective scoring options both on the inside and outside.

Minnesota St. Moorhead: In the third year under gabby123, the Dragons saw an 18-game improvement last season resulting in a trip to the PI. This year look for gabby’s squad to try to make the next step and make a trip to the NT. This season, again, what stands out about this team is scoring options. Moorhead is 5th rated in D2 in post play, while they are rated 23rd from the perimeter. What might determine the success is the freshmen depth that follows the pattern of effective scoring and weak defense (Boardman-89LP/12DE, Fitzgibbon 85PE/17DE). If the defensive ratings develop rapidly throughout the season, the team, with 8 upperclassmen, could be dangerous.

Concordia, St. Paul: Changing offensive and defensive systems last season, the Golden Bears narrowly missed the NT after trips in the previous two seasons. This season looks like there could be early growing pains in the new system, as speespa’s squad has 9 underclassmen and a non-con schedule with five pre-season top 25 teams. Despite this, the team could surprise, particularly as the season progresses and the kids develop. Even with just three upperclassmen, the team athletic/defensive rating combo of 59/61 will keep them in any game. Watch the impact of freshman Paul Turner (LP82) and sophomore George Hillyer (70PE/BH 75) to gauge how quickly this team comes together. This looks like it will be an elite team in a couple of seasons.

Northern St.: In johnmacdan’s second season, we are seeing the first of his impact on the team with a couple of recruits. This year still looks like a rebuild year with so many AI recruited players. Six AI seniors could help the Wolves accumulate wins. To understand what kind of influence johnmacdan will have on this roster, pay attention to the development of freshman PG Michael Matthes and junior PG Ernest Hayes.

West

Wayne St.: Last season, jt’s squad took the 1-seed into OT before just missing a Sweet 16 appearance, and with decades of consecutive NT bids, you can punch the ticket for the Wildcats now. Based on votes, Wayne St comes in ranked 37h. As usual, the club comes in with strong defense. What demands attention here is five players have a PE of 75 or greater, and only one is a senior. With junior C Lawrence Allen (LP86) and senior PF Samuel Dickson (LP74) there is enough balance that teams will have trouble coping with the perimeter game as these players develop. This is still a fairly youthful team with two seniors, but they are already underrated as they have the 20th rated team tht has been well-constructed.

NMHU: After falling short of expectations last year in a Sweet 16 loss, the Cowboys have an uphill climb to reach the success of recent seasons, coming in unranked. After conference success the last two seasons, losing 4 key seniors last year will make an impact, and long_ge’s squad doesn’t have the same advantages in stamina and FT’s they normally do. This year’s version is still fast, with the Div2 leading 62 team speed, and can still handle the ball well with a D2 second rated 54, but they will have to find new scoring options besides senior SG Mike Wesolowski (SPD95/PE91). How much this team succeeds, especially given a tough non-con schedule with seven pre-season top 25 teams, will depend on senior PG Adrian Goode (75ATH/96SPD).

Minnesota-Crookston: This AI team still has influence on the roster from previous coach kubi, and is worth mentioning, as they have top 25 votes that would put them at 36th. While we clearly would not expect this team to succeed as much as if a human coach was in control, this isn’t a bad team and could surprise. With a balanced schedule of 5 AI teams and 5 human coaches, the strength of schedule and W-L should be good enough to give them an outside chance at the NT. Strong team categories like Spd (55), DE (53), PE (49), and P (53) will keep the Golden Eagles competitive against stronger teams. With only two seniors, this would be an attractive candidate for potential coaches next season.

Peach Belt season preview

North Division

Augusta St: Boasting some of the strongest underclassmen in the conference from two consecutive top 10 recruiting classes, coach Asharriger is well on his way to bringing this historical doormat to relevance. The team will be led by senior C Samuel Ball (season 93 11.5 pts/ 6.5 reb/ 1.5 stl) and junior PG Marcelino Russo (14.5 pts/ 2.6 ast/ 1.4 stl). Remarkedly improved sophomores SF Cliff Prater, Joe Kitts, and Tommy Bell should continue to take huge steps forward and become leaders for this Augusta St team, which is poised to become a north division contender next season. Their main strength is rebounding and scoring, with multiple inside and outside scorers making it tough for opposing defenses to focus on one individual. Although their defensive ratings are not as high as their coach would like in the man to man scheme, the young guys should see considerable improvement in that area as inside sources confirm Assharriger plans on running intense defensive drills every practice. With a Sim AI-heavy non-conference schedule and a fairly grueling Peach Belt slate of games, expect them to be close to .500 with a possible PI berth. Next year and the following year, however, this team will make the NT and be scary good.

Armstrong Atlantic St: The only explanation for Strang's signing of 439 soph JUCO C Chris Tucker is that all of his attributes are exceedingly green (only recruit of the most recent class). Expect him to get a decent amount of playing time to increase his WE in order to realize that potential, most likely as the 6th man. Besides the interesting pickup of Tucker, the other young players on this team appear to also have a problem staying in the gym to work on their craft. Coach will have an interesting choice this season...play the upperclassmen led by PG Tim Hensley (preseason AA honorable mention), SG Sandy Roberts, and PF Paul Schild and probably make the NT as a lower seed, OR play the high potential/low WE underclassmen in an attempt to build them up for a better chance at being a regular contender in the future. The biggest strength for this team is their guard play, with strong speed, ball-handling, and passing. The largest area for concern is their defense in the man to man scheme, as well as the previously mentioned work ethic. Their chances at the NT will depend entirely on coach Strang's strategy for the future. The rest of us in the Peach do not envy him as he has to make this tough decision.

Clayton St: SF Michael Fox (last season 20.7 pts/ 3 reb/ 1 stl) will be on a mission this year to prove himself after being snubbed by the preseason AA committee. He is also the main inside scoring threat (100LP) on coach wildblue's team, a man who has been historically conservative when it comes to allowing his players to bomb from deep range. He will be a finalist for Peach Belt POY this season, which will automatically put him in consideration for national POY, an honor which has gone to a Peach Belt player for 6 out of the last 7 seasons. Besides Fox, PG Dean Joseph and PF Gregory Doyle will help share the load on another run to the NT. Freshmen PF Leroy Bailey will also make an immediate impact with his inside scoring. Ranked #25 in the preseason polls, Clayton St has many strengths when it comes to player ratings (ATH, SPD, DEF, scoring, passing), but perhaps the biggest strength is wildblue's gameplanning ability, as many of the other Peach Belt coaches will confirm. Although the team may be outrebounded from time to time, there are no glaring weaknesses for this team. Expect yet another NT bid this year.

Columbus St: After two straight low-seed bids to the NT with 1st round exits, a stronger non-conference schedule could be the fuel needed for a better seed this season. Although coach pdxblazerfan's team lost some incredible seniors, so did many of the Peach Belt's major powers. Led by C Timothy Lowry, PF Amos Byrd, and a collection of athletic wings, Columbus St's transition from a fast paced scoring team with no defense into a defensive-minded team is nearly complete. The huge signing of 2-star recruit Wilbert Skidmore ensures that trend will continue. The team's top two scorers are also among the worst defenders (PG Frank Nevius and PF Stephen Myers), so expect pdxblazerfan to stick to the zone defense this season in order to mask that deficiency. Preseason ranked #23, the main strength of this team is their improved ATH and DEF, but they are vulnerable on the offensive side of the ball with only two decent scoring options and weak passing skills. If Columbus St can enter conference play with a positive record, expect another trip to the NT.

Georgia College: A final four contender 8 seasons ago, Georgia College has fallen into the depths of Sim AI disrepair. New coach mdodge13 will look to drag them up out of the mire as he begins the rebuilding process. The rest of the Peach will watch with interest to see how he employs his players and whether or not the young coach decides to change the motion/press scheme. Senior PG David Reiss (96PER) looks to be an outside threat, but his defense is definitely suspect (32DEF). Don't expect much from this team until mdodge can get some of his own recruits onboard in the coming years. He has inherited a mis-matched collection of players who are incredibly skilled in only 1 or 2 areas, but not one player with overall quality. This will be quite a monumental rebuild, especially in a conference as tough as the Peach Belt. All of the north division coaches are wishing mdodge success. If Georgia College can rise up, perhaps the north can finally contend with the south division in a few years.


South Division (aka the Iba D2 Champion's League)

Kennesaw St: After a surprising loss in the conference tournament, Kennesaw St went on a legendary run through the big dance as a 5 seed to become national champions. It is suprising to see them left out of the preseason top 25, despite losing national POY Raymond Leddy in the offseason. Like all the rest of the south division, this is an athletic team with superior defense that will be led by senior PG Christopher Wong and soph C Dallas Davis. Those two players are the only major offensive threats, however, and coach adlorenz will heavily rely on them to carry the load. There aren't many upperclassmen on this team, so IQ and free throw shooting may be an issue early in the season, but should get better as the year progresses. Low passing skills are also a concern for Kennesaw St, but with adlorenz's strong gameplanning and superior ATH/DEF, expect them to return the NT even if they might not have enough in the tank to defend their title.

Lander: Even with underclassmen filling more than half of the roster, coach getbedarded and the preseason #6 Lander Bearcats (wth is that) are poised for another deep tournament run after falling in the final four last year. The loss of some stud seniors was mitigated by a very strong recruiting class full of potential. Expect Lander to dominate inside the paint this season with seniors Erasmo Rossi and Norman Sherrod (both preseason AA honorable mentions). Both big men are athletic rebounders who can score and defend at an incredibly high level. The local South Carolina media have already been toying with affectionate nicknames such as "Big Blue Bruisers," "Lander Leviathans," and of course the classic "Twin Towers." SG Adam Moyers and SF Jeffrey Rodriguez will also play key roles in this season's march back to the NT. Not only is this team strong defensively, but getbedarded has sneakily assembled the best collection of offensive talent in the conference. Opposing coaches, double team at your own risk.

North Florida: Due to their ridiculous run of recent success, last year's exit from the final four at the hands of Kennesaw St was considered a disappointment by coach teamvip. Yes, three of the four final four teams were from one division of one conference. Teamvip responded to that NT let-down by signing one of the top two recruits in D2 (hat tip to zorzii) in 3-star SG John Wynn. Wynn joins a team ranked preseason #7 led by PG Osvaldo Navarro (1st team preseason AA), SG Daniel Forsyth (3rd team preseason AA), senior SG George Kennedy, and PF Donald Williams. Both Forsyth and Navarro could compete for national POY, but will likely share the load instead in an effort to reclaim the national title once again. This team is stacked full of athletic defenders, as well as good rebounders, passers, and ball-handlers. There are 5 freshmen on the roster however, so depth could be an issue early in the season as teamvip begins to improve their IQ. Make no mistake, the heavyweight battles between N. Florida and Lander will continue to be the highlight of the Peach Belt's schedule.

UNC, Pembroke: Many pundits predict coach skinnycat's team to take a step back this year with 3/4 of the roster filled by underclassmen, but insiders know the emergence of PF Santos Duran (2nd team preseason AA) as a true stretch 4 will shock the Peach Belt this year. Duran is also an elite rebounder with high ATH/DEF and is the early favorite to win conference POY. Fellow seniors Richard Alves and Charles Shuffler will ensure that UNC Pembroke gets to the NT once again. Like many other teams in the conference, early season IQ will be an issue, but not for long. Their major strengths are ATH and DEF, but they could have significant trouble with pressing teams as there are no players with elite BH or passing on the roster.

USC Upstate: Entering the season with the preseason #4 ranked team, look for the stubborn coach towlie to continue to employ the slowdown offensive tempo this season. Led by 911-rated SF John Kogan (1st team preseason AA), C Scott Beck (3rd team preseason AA), and SG Genaro Costa (preseason AA honorable mention), towlie's team also possesses some of the most talented underclassmen in D2. Weary of the perennial dominance of Lander and N. Florida, and overshadowed by the incredible story of Kennesaw St's title run, USC Upstate fans are bubbling with guarded excitement for this season. With the slowdown tempo, these phenomenal seniors will have more playing time to dominate their matchups. Even though they have a top 5 ranking, this team is the dark horse contender for both the Peach Belt championship and the national title.

Great NW

I will preview the two teams that matter from the Great NW

Seattle: Fresh of a Sweet 16 team that only lost one player, Seattle is ready to perform on the National Stage this year. They are lead by versatile Swingman Richard Wallace who had a 18, 4, and 3.5 season last year as a Junior. Davidcrone's team also boasts a strong frontcourt, led by 4 players with REB of 89 or more. They are also strong defensively, 8th in Defense and 14th in Athleticism. This veteran team, with 5 seniors and only freshman, seems to have all of the weapons to run through their schedule, undefeated, except for 3 possible match-ups against their division rivals, NW Nazarene. The team is incredibly well-rounded, ranking 3rd or above in their conference in all nine core attribute team averages. Their main weakness is Stamina. Five players, including 2 starters have less than 70 stamina.

NW Nazarene: NW Nazarene finished of a great season with a disappointing loss in a 4-13 game in the first round of the NT last year. However, the only players they lost from that squad were three players cut by rookie coach, cubcub113. Although this team only has four true upperclassmen, they may be a force to be reckoned with because of a collection of depth and star-power. The leader of the team is clearly William Bray who has a long list of Accolades. He was Conference Player of the Year, Conference Defensive Player of the Year and was on the National Third Team as only a junior. He racked up 24 points on 49% shooting along with 4 APG, 2 RPG, and 2 SPG. Last year Bray and current Red-shirt Junior, Larry Burrell scored 40 out of 80 of their team's points per game. Around those two stud scorers, three coaches: Fungobatboy, Hickman1b, and cubcub have built a team of staunch defenders and rebounders. Their 3-11 players may be around the best in the nation. They were ranked 2 in the country in both ATH and DE and have a team stacked with Slashers and Low-Post scorers. Their main weakness is a lack of three point shooting, ranking last in their own conference in team Three Point Rating.

The Yarnell Invitational has its own thread but we will be previewing the tournament now in the Iba season thread. All rankings and ratings mentioned here were taken during the pre-season. All teams in the Yarnell are currently ranked.

This year’s participants are:

#1 Incarnate Word (Heartland)
#7 Northeastern St. (Lone Star)
#10 Clayton St (Peach Belt)
#14 Mount Olive (CVAC)
NR CSU, San Bernardino (Cal CAA)
NR NMHU (Northern Sun)

Incarnate Word – With fungobatboy taking over in his first season for season 92 defending champ davefilby (@ Missouri now), we have the unusual situation where the defending champ is a first-year coach for a school. That said, fungobatboy has had a long track record, most recently of collecting several S16 appearances while coaching N.W. Nazarene. Having made the final four in three of the last four years, Incarnate Word is loaded again and will be tough to beat as the top ranked pre-season team. The offense should be prolific, with both passing and ball handling rated as top five in D2. While the Cardinals have a strong perimeter game, elite post play will make them very hard to defend, led by All-American senior SF Roger Lewis (99LP/79PE).

Northeastern St. – cregen’s squad returns to the Yarnell with one of his strongest teams in several years. Having the 4th overall rated team in D2, the Riverhawks are strong and balanced all the way around, with 8 upperclassmen. Possessing the capability to terrorize the post with seniors, SF Richard Rickards (97LP/68PE) and C Aaron Wilson (LP94), Northeastern St. also has a potent outside threat in junior PG Kevin O’Brien (PE 99). This Riverhawk team should provide an opportunity for a deep NT run and possibly cregen’s first title with the club since season 75.

Clayton St. – Representing the elite Peach Belt conference, wildblue’s Clayton St. team enters the season ranked 10th. With effective scoring options from both the perimeter (SG John Armstrong - PE95) and post (SF Michael Fox - LP100), the Lakers have the top-rated ball handling in D2 (54), while maintaining good speed and athleticism. Having come off a couple early exits in the NT recently, wildblue’s squad will look to return to the title game as they did in season 86, and this team looks like it will be able to hold its own in brutal Peach Belt Conference play.

Mount Olive – Coming out of a very tough CVAC this season is bbunch’s 14th ranked Mount Olive team. After winning 4 titles during a tenure at Longwood that included several additional Final Four appearances, bbunch looks to have this Trojans team ready to make similar deep runs in the NT after last year’s surprising first round exit. What is striking about this team is the elite rebounding duo of Thomas Lovin and Thomas Benson, both with REB of 100. While dominating the boards, look for Benson to disrupt opponent post play (Blk100) and chip in points (88LP), as he averaged 9.6 pts as a sophomore.

CSU, San Bernardino – AB90’s CSU, San Bernardino squad might enter the season unranked, but they have finished ranked 6 of the last 8 seasons, including a national title just three seasons ago. They also have enough votes to be ranked 29 pre-season. With just two seniors, much of how this team will fare will depend on how much weight the 5 juniors can pull. While not having traditional elite scoring options, the overall PE rating of 54 ranks 4th in D2, so look for the Coyotes to move the ball around a good bit to involve multiple players and use their good 7th rated team speed (57).

NMHU – The host long_ge brings the traditional mix for his FB/FCP system with D2 leading speed (63), D2’s second best ball handling and perimeter (both 54), but not the elite stamina (77) that normally comes as part of the package. Coming off a Sweet 16 and Elite 8 the last to seasons, the unranked Cowboys will have a lot to prove to return and make a deep NT run with 8 underclassmen. A lot of the success will depend on the development of freshmen like SF Cameron Numbers (PE73), but most of the pressure will fall onto the speed of the backcourt seniors, PG Adrian Goode (SPD96) and SG Mike Wesolowski (SPD95/PE 92), to create both turnovers and scoring opportunities.

Nice write up on the Yarnell. I was in northern Arkansas a couple of weeks ago and saw Yarnell ice cream. It exists, it's a thing! Good luck to all the participants, strange being on the outside looking in.
5/25/2017 9:23 PM
Thanks Dave. If you ever get bored of D1, we'd love to have you back in D2 again someday.
5/26/2017 6:48 AM
Oh cool, this is up again. CVAC season preview on the way
5/29/2017 11:14 AM
Also, while I don't have alblack's dynasty ranking criteria, I played around with doing my own, and I'm sure the results would be fairly similar. This is the first draft version of it, and I'll try to post these dynasty rankings at the beginning of every season in Iba.

Of note, alblack's rankings needed 4/5 seasons with post-season appearances (NT or PI) to be eligible. I'm doing something a little different, where a negative score is associated with missing the post season, so a team could get a positive score even if they missed the post-season more than once in 5 years, if they had a S16 appearance for instance. Like alblack's rankings, this takes the last 5 seasons into account and ONLY looks at post-season success, so regular season records, RPI, CT titles, etc have no effect on these rankings. Clearly, deep tournament runs and titles have a huge impact on these rankings.

Below are all the teams that ended up with positive scores for the period from season 89-93.
1 N. Florida
2 Incarnate Word
3 Lander
4 Dominican
5 N. Alabama
6 Kennesaw St.
7 Seattle
8 CSU, San Bernardino
9 St. Edward's
10 Rockhurst
11 Longwood
12 Bellarmine
13 New Mexico Highlands
14 W. Florida
15 CSU, Los Angeles
16 W. Virginia Wesleyan
17 Concord
18 Bentley
19 Harding
20 USC Upstate
21 Coker
22 Erskine
23 St. Leo
24 Lock Haven
25 Glenville St.

26 Wayne St. (NE), 27 Anderson, 28 Bloomfield, 29 S. New Hampshire, 30 Johnson C. Smith, 31 Shepherd, 32 Gannon, 33 N.W. Nazarene, 34 California, San Diego, 35 Bowie St., 36 Philadelphia, 37 UNC, Pembroke, 38 Northeastern St., 39 Armstrong Atlantic St., 40 Mount Olive, 41 Pittsburgh, Johnstown, 42 Pfeiffer, 43 Chadron St., 44 Mesa St., 45 Clayton St., 46 Ohio Valley, 47 W.

5/29/2017 12:18 PM
Really invigorating NT with tons of upsets, huh? 4 1s, 4 2s, 4 3s, a 4, and 3 5s.
6/24/2017 6:27 PM
Peach Belt may be going past the CVAC for the top conference in DII! Of course that's only if you take out the Great NW...
6/27/2017 2:30 PM
I wish it was easier to access these Iba forums. I keep forgetting that this thread exists.

Peach Belt definitely can use their NT success to claim being the best confererence. CVAC usually still wins in RPI. I would say the Peach Belt's top teams are usually stronger than the CVAC's, but the CVAC has more depth.
6/28/2017 11:39 AM
It depends on when you check the RPI standings. Seems like the Peach's NT success always brings us past the CVAC in RPI before Final 4 time. Of course none of that is due to my team's efforts...yet.
