Thanks for posting that letter. I knew it felt a little odd Bartley is hard on his players, not downright cruel. WPI is looking toward a top 3 Finish in the NEWMAC along with Babson and MIT.
I have seen Babson play this year and Flannery looks like the same Flannery we have seen in the past but with a killer attitude. Along with Flannery, Junior Nick Comenale has been pouring in the buckets. The pair average 24 and 19 pgg respectively, and have gone on runs by themselves. Rounding out the starting 5 for the Beavers are Seniors Sam Bohmiller and Isaiah Nelsen, as well as Junior Bradley Jacks. Each providing their own unique method of scoring is shown in the Babson's 88 points per game. Babson with its 6 seniors that went to the Final Four 2 years ago are eyeing a return to Salem this spring.
Having frequented WPI games as well I can affirm the improvement of Doncaster and Converse. The loss of Obi Obiora and Jashanti Allen will be a minor setback for the Engineers. Junior Chris Rodgers is in a big spot to play some big minutes and show off his length and ability to get to the hoop. WPI has looked good thus far in the season. Bartley will have them ready to play Babson.
Don't know much on MIT, I know Jomard is the real deal that gave Babson a little trouble last spring. Looking for a some good improvement this year.
Going to be an interesting year in the NEWMAC, we will see what teams can make some noise in the middle of the pack.
