Ethan Edwards, Brandeis graduated a year early and entered the portal. 

If I could legally bet on this I would put my money on Emory or WashU winning the league.

Justin Allen had 50 points for Carnegie today in an overtime win over Dickinson. Allen went 9-13 for three pointers and was perfect in seven free throws. I'm not sure if that is a UAA record but the record for most points in a conference game is 49.  Not so good, is Dickenson taking Carnegie into OT.  Dickenson has won only four games this year and their wins have come against teams with a combined record of five wins for the year.

Massey rankings have the UAA as the top conference in D3.  The individual schools are:

Emory - 1
NYU - 5
Wash U - 14
Brandeis - 31
Carnegie - 36
Rochester - 69
Chicago - 93
Case - 95

Carnegie Mellon roster is available. Justin Allen and RJ Holmes are both back.

This league is going to be tough from top to bottom.  Still, with nearly everyone returning from Emory and Wash U and lots of talent they have to be the teams to beat.  They should both be pre-season D3Hoops top 25 teams.  Competing for the top half of the league and a shot at the NCAAs will be Case, Brandeis, NYU, and possibly CMU (at least if RJ Holmes and/or Justin Allen are returning).  Of course, that could all change with injuries and unexpected departures.

WashU has posted its roster. I'll leave it to WUPHF to comment.

Chicago has posted its 2024-2025 roster. One D-1 transfer, Dominic Martinelli, 2.4 points per game last year for St. Thomas. He was a 2,000-point scorer in high school.

Five freshmen: Arhan Lapsiwala 6'3" guard from Texas; Carter Seeliger 6'6" forward from Texas; DJ Harvey 5'10" freshman from South Carolina; Daniel Cochran 6'7" forward from Tennessee; LJ Moore 6' 7" forward from Georgia. It looks like a promising class.  Chicago is only losing 16 ppg from last year, most notably Bryce Hopkins 11 ppg.

In other UAA news, Brandeis has added a 6'6" rising junior transfer from D-2 St. Anselm's, Elias Rodl. Interesting fact, his father Henrik won an NCAA championship with UNC in 1993, played professionally in Germany for more than ten years, played in the Olympics and recently coached the Egyptian national team.

I don't know for sure whether Justin Allen is returning but the Carnegie Mellon website lists him as a current junior:

Carnegie Mellon has announced a four-player incoming freshman class:

Jackson Mansfield-Jimenez G Miami
Evan Marizimi Wing Northfield Mt. Herman Massachusetts
Alex Hassanein PG California
Ian Brown Wing Wilmette Ill.

No word on whether there are any transfers.

It looks like RJ Holmes is not returning. His Linkedin says he attended CMU 2000-2004.
CMU has an excellent returning backcourt in rising juniors Justin Allen and Buckley DeJardin.

NYU has loaded up with transfers again:

Tristen How - 6'7" grad transfer -- walked on two years at U of Virginia -- scored 9 points in his career
Brock Susko - sr. transfer from Cal Lutheran -- 1st team all-league last year
Jack Stone - grad transfer from Carnegie Mellon -- rare intra league transfer -- two time All UAA 1st team
John Menard - grad transfer from D-2 St. Anselm's - averaged 1.4 points last year
Chuma Oyigbo - grad transfer from D-2 St. Michael's -- only scored 4 points in 13 games last year but averaged 7 points as a freshman
Henry Bickford -- Freshman from Phillips Exeter by way of Needham Ma High 6'5" wing

I don't know where -- if anywhere -- Justin Allen is going but his twitter account said in March he was getting interest from several Ivys, a few other D-1 schools, and a bunch of D2s.

Brandeis recruits Jai Despande grad transfer Whitman. Second team all region 18 pts per game
Rob Watson 6 6 forward from Baldwin Wallace grad transfer
Alex Zakheim ~ yes he is the younger brother of the Yeshiva star - point guard
Ryan Weiss - St. Andrew's Rhode Island - scored 1800 points in high school and prep school - 108 threes, 42% last year.
If everyone is healthy Brandeis will be loaded next season with virtually the whole team back including Toby Harris who was first team all UAA the season before last and who was injured virtually all season last year.

According to his linked in profile Jai Despende second team d3hoops all region from Whitman
is doing a grad year at Brandeis.  A second grad transfer to Brandeis is Rob Watson from Baldwin Wallace. 

Adusei, Using and Perez Miralles are all returning for Brandeis. Power is attending medical school and won't be back. Brandeis will also be getting back Toby Harris first team all UAA as a sophomore after missing almost all year due to injury.  They also should return 6 10 center Griffin Walbridge who was out injured all year.
