Around the A-10: 2024–25 Edition

But yes, if all these four-star guys are going to make them significantly better, they need to schedule accordingly.
no sure where the 4 stars come from. that can't be high school rankings. just arbitrary stars?

They are rankings by The Portal Report, which is a service trying to connect transfers with new schools and NIL. So yeah, it feels like almost everybody gets four stars to inflate their value. Check out their recent tweets with transfer commit lists...High Point and UNCW both have four 4-star guys coming in. 🤣

 
Seems to be a conference thing. Assuming I'm looking at the right numbers on KenPom I see the following NCSOS rankings for the A10:

54 Dayton
185 SLU
218 LaSalle
234 Duquesne
262 UR
274 Fordham
281 UMASS
293 VCU
300 SJU
304 SBU
308 Davidson
320 GMU
339 URI
354 LUC
362 GW

so odd for A10 to go from a strategy of scheduling hard and being a better league to scheduling weak and being worse. heck dayton didn't even kill it in A10 and was a lock last year and close this year. due to OOC only.

Hard to wrap head around there r advocates for weak. It doesn't work as a league. But there are, and even for Richmond. I've read it here. Must love these H&H with average & bad mid majors. If u get a New Mex like VCU did...ok. and I'm not even against a H&H with local rivals. If u expect to get a H&H from teams above u, u probably have to give some to teams below u. but have to minimize. A H&H with an average or poor mid is a great recipe for taking losses. 3 of our first 4 known games r that. guessing more to come unfortunately.

I can't comprehend that our weak OOC schedule was the 5th toughest in the A10.
feel like there has to be a math mistake there.

The D-IIs don't factor in at all I assume, and Auburn is probably a 50-spot boost lol.
 
Anybody else find it odd that we don't appear to have made a single offer for 2026 yet, especially given our stated desire to recruit four-year guys? I know summer is when things heat up, but usually there are a few studs and other high-priority targets that we at least make an offer on early, like the equivalent of last fall. Heck, sometimes we even have a commit by now.

I have not vetted these for recency or status, but 2026 offers by school according to Verbal Commits:

George Mason: 24
St. Bonaventure: 23
Fordham: 17
Saint Louis: 17
VCU: 16
George Washington: 15
Duquesne: 12
Saint Joseph's: 10
(UMass: 9)
Rhode Island: 9
Dayton: 7
La Salle: 5
Loyola: 3
Davidson: 1
Richmond: 0

I don't find it odd. Mooney is on his usual April vacay.
 
Are there other examples of players out of eligibility committing to a school? And lasalle bball & their coach both retweeted Randolph announcement too. I know there r a lot of those guys in the transfer portal but not sure about actual commits.
