Re: PSAC WEST

The Entirely Too Early 2019-20 predictions:

Contenders:

IUP - The roster isn't set yet but they have a ton of talent for next season. Guards are completely loaded.
UPJ - Just about the whole roster returns plus a key guard who was injured last season. They will be very good. NCAA expectations.
SRU - A healthy Micah Till gives them a chance. However, they have some key pieces to replace. Grady's first class will be interesting to see.


The TBD crowd:

Cal - The Vulcans have a loaded freshmen class coming in and several key players returning. They should take a giant step.
Mercyhurst - The Lakers lost two mega-stars. That's not always an easy system for imports to grasp quickly.
Edinboro - The Scots should score a ton next season. Give up a ton, too. Coleman returns. Staunch is coming back. Still need another legit big.


Long Season Awaits crowd:

Seton Hill - Nathan Davis may score 45 ppg next season. He's gonna have to ...
Clarion - Still with no coach on May 6 (and just a few players) ... could be a historically bad team.


Need More Info:

Gannon - Who is staying and who is coming to town? This story needs more time before making a prediction.

I can't imagine what kind of team they are going to whip together to open that renovated building.

Mercyhurst announced a long term extension with Manchel today and a major gift for the MAC for upcoming renovations.

The MAC will always be a dump! There is no fixing that terrible structure! Manchel is still a crybaby!!!

Re: PSAC WEST

If you look at his track record there they have some big 'ups' and then typically come back down. The whole thing with that system is the chemistry and getting the right guys to buy in to it at the same time -- often a difficult task.

This year he found Massey and Patrick Smith in the same class. He hit the jackpot. They're both gone now (Thank God).

Mercyhurst has been more consistent over the past 10 years than has Gannon. Manchel is a good rep for the school. He earned that extension. Good for him.

Well, they got hot at the end of the year, too probably played NWMSU as tough as anyone.

Funny to think the game in Erie ... Joe hung 47 on them in the second half.

I'm not a fan of that style of basketball, but he's built a good program there playing/coaching/recruiting it. I hope they continue their upward trajectory, not at the expense of IUP obviously, but it's good for the league when more teams are good.

Should he continue to get "guys" like he had with Massey this year, they'll be good for a while. I don't know much about what he has coming back around next season, however. They'll probably take a step back to build it back up.

Was it a crate of dynamite ?


LOL. Just kidding. But, not really.


That's good for Gary. He's earned it.
