A tough loss for the Little Giant program.  Coach Sully has been an outstanding representative of the program and the College.  He will do well at Allegheny.

There's a new Liam Thompson on the Wabash College campus.

...and a new Sizemore as well.

Any information on incoming Wooster players this Fall?

The Wabash schedule has been released.  We start the year in Angola, Indiana, participating in the Trine University Classic.  It appears that we are also participating in the Don Lane Classic in Lexington, but there are no games listed.

Transylvania doesn't have their schedule up yet, so no idea who the other two teams are in the Don Lane Classic. That Wash U. game is gonna be a great game too.

Pretty shocking news from Wittenberg - escpecially this close to a new school year beginning:

Yeah. That's not convenient! I presume they'll just have an interim coach for the upcoming season...

The Wabash roster has been updated to include five freshmen.  I only know about one of them, Robert Sorensen from Guerin Catholic.  He's a talented young man, who could be the team's point guard of the future.

Only two seniors on the roster, including 7'2 Noah Huppmann, whose skills have continued to develop in his time on the Little Giant roster.

First game is in 17 days against Heidelberg as part of the Trine Invitational.

He really progressed throughout the year last year. He showed some flashes early on but by the end of the year was pretty consistent. Got over the fouling a bit and learned to defend the basket.

1. Wooster (6)

7. Ohio Wesleyan
8. Kenyon
9. Hiram

Looking ahead to next year, I assume that JCU would have received all of those first place votes.  Going to be a tougher road in the North Coast starting next fall.

JCU addition to the NCAC is an absolute positive. It increases internal competition and could lead to multiple bids come tournament time.
