Stillfamily - You didn't mention Brad Parkes. Is he on the roster?

[mybleedinghands]

brad parkes is a baller.

the top 25 preseason poll has come out. VWC comes in at 11, macon at 18, and hampden sydney at 33.

STH - polls is polls!

Stillfamily, I was wondering about Parkes myself. He was the second most productive player on the Royal's team last year. If you go by statistics he should have been Frosh of the year. Is he still on the roster? You mentioned 8 or 9 players an d not him?

The rumor in the"Burg" was that JMU had put feelers out to him. Did he transfer?

[mybleedinghands]

stillfamily,
what about chancellor fitzgerald?

ladyfan,
If Parkes did transfer to JMU, he isn't on the basketball team because his name isnt on their 2005-2006 roster.

Parkes is still at EMU is playing ball for the Royals. 

'stillfamily' did an excellent job of giving you some names and descriptions. I haven't learned all the names yet, so I was a little tentative without a roster in front of me.

It seems like the ODAC is getting some respect with 3 teams in the top 33.  I know it is preseason, but three teams is respectable.

Definitely.  There are approximately 350 basketball programs in D3 (perhaps someone else can give a more exact number).  Anyway, nationally, there are less than 1 of every 10 programs among the "Top 33," so the ODAC would be doing as well as average if it had only 1 program in the Top 33.  Three programs in the Top 33 is extraordinary.
