I think you could add Susquehanna to the mix. Even though they graduated Robinson and Cuff, they have back Majors and Patch to form a good 1-2 punch. Plus, you never know who they will have transferring in next.

Moravian and Juniata both lost a lot, so it will be interesting to see what kind of recruiting classes they both have coming in. I am not so sure what Drew and Goucher have coming back, but it does not look like Goucher lost a whole lot from last year.

I see Lycoming College hired a new head coach, Guy Rancourt from Stony Brook. does anyone else know who the other finalists were, and anything about Coach Rancourt? Looks like it was a good hire for Lycoming, as he brings experience as a head d3 coach and assistant d1 coach prior to arriving at Lycoming.

Congratulations to the Landmark Conference's 3 All Region Selections:
Josh Robinson, Susquehanna, 2nd Team
Brian Cannon, Juniata, 2nd Team
Tom Bicknell, Scranton, 3rd Team

All 3 of these players led their teams to great seasons and are all very deserving of the honor!

Thanks for clearing that up with all those details, Dave. I thought maybe since Juniata made it to the finals and beat the #1 seed Susquehanna @ SU would have helped, and that Moravian lost their last 3. But oh well, that's why they have the selection comittees, right? I think a lot of people around the region are shocked that Moravian got in.

Dave,
Can you elaborate on how Moravian's resume is better than Juniata?

How does Moravian get a bid in front of Juniata, who not only made the conference finals but is apparently ahead of Moravian in the most current regional rankings.

"Without knowing much about Lycoming at the beginning of the season, my guess is thqt the other CC members though Lyco may be one of the two teams that would be ending their season on Saturday."

I'm sure the other Commonwealth members took note that Lyco had everyone back from last season, where they finished 13-12. Also, Lyco has been one of the top 4 teams in the Freedom since 2002 where they won the conference in '02 and '04.

Playoff predictions? DeSales? Wilkes? Manhattanville?

Any predictions of what will happen in playoffs? I know we do not have the matchups set yet, but does anyone have any predictions? Who are the two best teams right now?

How about Lycoming coming in and winning the Commonwealth Regular Season? Any thoughts?

Pat,
Good Point! I just wondered what people thought and if there's any worthy candidates in the Landmark.

Anyone have any word about how the Dips fared in any of their preseason scrimmages?

Hard to believe that no preseason all-americans were chosen from the Landmark Conference. I know Scranton returns two first-team all-league players in Bicknell and Arnold, and Juniata does too with Brian Cannon.

Any thoughts on this?

Also, will Powell be playing this year for Scranton?  Anyone know WHY he tried to do that to himself?
