Re: Shepherd

There are still some banger teams like Slippery Rock but the upper half doesn't play that way. You saw that against Ship and the years IUP has played WL.

Still pass. WLU is in West Virginia, not Pennsylvania...why would we want to join the PENNSYLVANIA State Athletic Conference??

Of course...IUP could always join the MEC if they wanted to!!

Re: Shepherd

There are some interesting storylines in the East.

We'll see how Fite does now that Sleva is gone. He was probably the best D2 player in the country last year ... or at least on a very short list. They lost him, McArthur and the PG. That's a ton. MacArthur was an assassin.

West Chester took some losses but returns a lot. Blair is a top-notch coach. IF there was a true D1 candidate in the PSAC it's Damien Blair. Joe's too old now. Fite could go up but needs to strike while the iron is hot. Fire hit the jackpot with that recruiting class. All three same group. We'll see how well the cupboard is stocked real soon.

ESU just reloads. Always tough. Same with Kutztown.

Bloomsburg always seems like they are just one piece short but is never an easy game.

Lock Haven just lost its two best players. Both had two years left. Devastating.

Even Mansfield was a tough out last season. I'd say 2017-18 was the best the East ever was ... in my memory anyway. ESU made the Final Four.

A lot of those stars just graduated -- or transferred, however.

The PSAC as a whole will be rebuilding a bit this year with a couple exceptions. That can change overnight with the right imports. We'll see.

What a difference a year makes, since it was just last year when you said

maybe Damien just lost a step and got passed by
