Re: PSAC WEST

A "transfer up" situation?

For his sake I sure hope not.

That's an odd situation. They'll likely be in a rebuild this coming season. Him leaving sure doesn't help.

Re: PSAC WEST

Where'd you hear that at? That's crazy!

It posted on Verbal Commits this morning. Ellis is a HUGE loss ... started every game last season and played 30+ mpg. By the end of the season he was one of the top PGs in the PSAC.

Jones didn't play a lot but played in most games.

Re: PSAC WEST

Across the board you are seeing more and more coaches not being terrified at the notion of playing true freshmen. For years it was fairly rare.

I think there are a few key factors:

1) If you don't play 'em ... you'll probably lose 'em in this transfer-fueled basketball world

2) "Basketball kids" play basketball now. Exclusively. Year-round. They are often way more polished now than they were even 15 years ago.

3) In reference to No. 1 above, teams, by-and-large, are constantly flipping their rosters so the opportunities arise faster

Re: PSAC WEST

Owen Chambers, from Coudersport, is going to Mercyhurst. He's the all-time leading scorer in District 9 at over 2,200 points. He's 6-2 and rail thin. But I've seen and covered a handful of his games...he's a gamer and a deadly shot. I think he'll get minutes in their 11-man rotation.

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.
