ECSU - thanks ^^.

What a confusing mess of a story.

I live right near Western and have seen Eastern a few times the last several years in Danbury. Always a fun game.

Good luck to you guys as well this year.

Western's schedule:

What's different this year is that it seems like the LEC has gone from the Tuesday Saturday conference schedule to now a Wednesday Saturday conference schedule. Anyone know why this is the case??

I would imagine it will make recruiting easier, most HS games are tuesday/friday

First write-up of the season for the 2015-16 Eastern Connecticut State Warriors:
I have heard through the grapevine that they recruited a very good guard/forward transfer impact player from a higher NCAA division school, but will confirm when the roster is published.

Can't wait for the new season to start!!

Everyone I know has long since graduated so I have no news.

And I wouldn't expect the roster out till like November 14 or 15.

Rhode Island College 15/16 roster out. They are a really young team this year!!!

I'm really flying blind with the predictions this year, but here goes nothing:

1) Eastern Connecticut. They could end up being a top 10 team in the country this year, and I still don't think the conference this year is that good, so they should cruise.
2) Western Connecticut. They played really well last year and all those under classman they've had the last couple of years are now going to be upper classman, so they should take the next step.
3) UMass-Dartmouth. As long as Jordan Rezendez is on the court for the Corsairs he should keep them in the upper tier
4) UMass-Boston. Had their best season last year in a decade and if I remember they have a lot of people returning.
5) Rhode Island College. Sounds like they have a really young roster, but it's RIC so you should expect them to battle, claw & fight for the whole season.
6) Keene. Sounds like it was a circus summer up in Keene, but I still think they'll be better then the Panthers & Huskies.
7) Plymouth. Can't be any worse then they were last year as they finished 2015 losing 12 of their last 14 games.
8) USM. They were 2-3 after they finished their game on November 30.....they finished the season 5-21. I'll let you do the math there, but it wasn't very good. Nobody was a senior on last year's team though, so there's no where to go but up, how far up they get remains to be seen.

Here is Eastern's 2015/16 roster:

http://gowarriorathletics.com/sports/mbkb/2015-16/roster

Everybody from last year is back and looks like Coach Geitner did some good recruiting with Dontae Christian Guard 6-0 165, (Bronx NY) Brooks School, Tyrell Arnum, Guard/Forward 6-6 175 Bloomfield / East Catholic '14, (CCC All-Conference Team), and Leonel Hyatt Forward 6-5 205 Greenwich / Greenwich '15, as key first year players!

ECSU also picked up Jacob Collins So. Forward 6-5 215 Bristol / Bristol Central '14, (CCC All-Conference Team), who looks like a transfer.

Will try to find out more about these guys
