Is there anyone else on here besides me who thinks that the Gods that are Amherst, Williams, Middlebury will not finish #1,#2 and #3 in some order? Anyone think one of these other teams can sneak in the mix or is it a foregone conclusion that it will only be them 3 in the race everyone else is playing for the last home seed (#4).

Clearly they had to be doing something right to have the season that they had. What I was saying was the two games I saw them I was not overly impressed with their guards compared to a lot of the guards in the league.

I agree Bates lost a lot more then Wesleyan but I just dont have faith in Wesleyan at all after watching them play a few games last year.
Also I saw Middlebury play twice last year and walked away very un-impressed with their guard play. Of course their bigs were very good but they took a hit there losing Locke. And from seeing a few of the recruits Trinity brought in play in high school I think its a crazy statement to say they may not have one guy who would start for Middlebury. And also crazy to think they are going to be significantly worse. Do I think the 3 teams, Amherst Williams and Middlebury will finish 1, 2, 3. Yes. Do I want to stir the pot a little and make people think outside the box of teams other then just Amherst, Williams and Middlebury. Yes. I think of all the teams Trinity of Bowdoin has the best chance of passing one of those 3.

As much as it pains me to say this I think Amherst could be loaded this year and be by far the top team in the conference. I think Williams and Middlebury will be good but not great like last year. They lost too much. After that I think any team could sneak up in there. In fact in my predictions, to stir the pot a little, will be putting a team other then those 3 in the top 3.
Predicted Finish:
1. Amherst
2. Williams
3. Trinity
4. Middlebury
5. Bowdoin
6. Tufts
7. Bates
8. Hamilton
9. Wesleyan
10. Conn
11. Colby
Hamilton being a major wild card here. Thoughts??

I would say Williams and Middlebury lost a lot to be ranked so high in the pre-season polls. But in D3 they most likely do most of that off of last year anyway.
I am also pretty shocked everyone thinks Wesleyan can contend for the upper half of the league. As I remember everyone said this last year as well and they came in last place so I am not sure why people think all of sudden they are going to be different this year.
I agree Bowdoin should be pretty good as well. And I would not count on Trinity being part of that top class of the league with what most would say is a great freshman class and a very good coach he will get them playing well I am sure.
Looking forward to things getting started!

New to this blog but long time follower of the league and of high school basketball around the New England Area. Wanted to follow up with the last few comments:
1) To follow up last few writers I think Trinity has more then just a stud PG coming in. On that note who do people think are Top 5 Freshman coming into the league? Any thoughts on Ranking the Teams in-coming classes?
Looking forward to things getting started.
