Formerbant,
If you really think that other NESCAC schools have tougher admissions than Amherst and Williams you are foolish. Both of these schools are the hardest schools to get into in the conference. You are a Trinity alumnus so you must know that Trinity is slowly turning into, especially when it comes to football, the laughing stock of the NESCAC academically when it comes to athletes. Also, saying that it's tougher to recruit to a school that has good players is ridiculous. If you would rather go to a worse basketball institution just because you would have a better chance to play, then you are not a true competitor. I honestly cannot believe that you would say players would not want to go to Williams to sit behind players for a couple years in order to wait their turn to continue a winning legacy. Not all players can have or should expect to have the impact that Rhoten had his freshman year. The fact that good players have to wait a year or two in order to make an impact on their program reflects on the type of program that the school has. Freshman or Sophomores should not be the players that you rely on to have a successful season. I have read many of your posts before and it's hard to read some of the past posts you have stated.
Beyond that I think that Amherst will and should be the favorite in the conference next year. Bates and Trinity will be the only teams in their league with Bates probably being the best matchup. Watching the young players play and the talent pool that they have I am going to go out on a limb and say that the Amherst Lord Jeffs will be the 2008 National Champions. I know this may sound crazy but have faith in an Amherst faithful that has watched multiple games this year.
1st Team
Rhoten
Bedford
Cohen
Rose
Ray
2nd Team
Olson
Stockwell
Martin (tufts)

Clarke could go in for Wheeler but I think that Wheeler is a much better all around player. Lefrak Gymnasium for NESCAC '06!!!!!!!
