Hello all - first time here on the boards been following the Yac' for some time now (sure you can tell by my handle
) anyways nice to be in the company of you all! Let me start by saying we are in for a heck of a year! I do like my red dragons chances to run the table this year with so many teams "rebuilding". I was nervous that Plattsburgh who has mostly all of their student athletes from last year returning, would be a tough team but they have been awfully disappointing and at this rate will find themselves in the same situation as last year, watching the playoffs from the couch. Can never count out teams like Geneseo and Oswego, and this years dark horse team from me is none other than Buffalo State. I recognize 1 or 2 names from last years roster but boy have they come to play and they are terrorizing opponents in the paint with their big men duo of Henry and Campbell. Just looking back at some of the posts it seems the Magic one has some animosity towards those Bengals but it must be in good nature! They have played some non D3 schools yes but what he may seem to fail to realize is that those schools practice year round and have 6-7 games under their belt by the time they play Buffalo State or any other traditional D3 school who may only have 1 or 2 games. They also went on the road and beat a tough Naz team, regardless of who played and who didn't. Too bad for Oswego they couldn't have some of the Bengals luck *sucks teeth, rolls eyes, yawns*. Oneonta beat a tough Hartwick team and was impressive against D1 Albany without their big 3 from last year (McElroy, Coleman, Kelly). Coach Cam does an awesome job of recruiting and I am glad to see him shine; heck he was the one getting all of those amazing players to Plattsburgh before he took over at Oneonta! Brockport seems to be a 1 man show but will always be in the mix late in Feb and early March and HOW BOUT THOSE BEARS! Potsdam having some early success is great to see and they will look to continue their hot start when the Bengals and Blue Devils come to town this weekend. My Red Dragons took a tough one last night but best believe they will bounce back! Catch up with you guys soon good luck to everyone this year! Peace!
