Hot Stove Action

[Mr.Right]

The most anticipated schedule will have to be Middlebury's.

[Mid-Atlantic Fan]

The most anticipated schedule will have to be Middlebury's.

Why is that? Camden has another tough one. I am interested to see Tufts and Messiahs as well mainly for the non-conference action. Any thoughts on non-conference opponents for Middlebury?

"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on..... shame on you.  Fool me..........................................................you can't get fooled again."

For Middlebury's sake, I hope they beefed up the out of conference.

As Mr. Right contended throughout the 2015 season, and as the NCAA selections bore out, Middlebury would not make the tournament unless they won the NESCAC, due to their incredibly weak non-conference schedule (and even though they really were a tournament-worthy side).  Because he was Right on this contention, there is great anticipation to see if Middlebury will cure their weak schedule to avoid the possibility of duplicating a season in which they were 13-2-2 and a conference finalist, but failed to make the tournament.

nothing posted yet, but this is likely to be the Messiah link...   Maybe =188 or =190... 

They lose their top to point scorers; Danny Rowe and Benji Kennel (combined for 17g and 5a)...  Who is likely to step up for the Falcons?  Could it be consecutive years without making the tournament?  My guess is that Messiah will keep the following out of conference games on the schedule:   Gettysburg, Rowan, York, Miseri, E-town, W&L....    Drop Randolph, Houghton

Where will they be heading for the first weekend.... up to MA to play Gordon in the North Shore Invitational?   Back to Pittsburgh to avenge the 4-3 to CMU at the Double Tree Showcase? Or will they be hosting games the opening weekend?

Correct and I even NOTED this in June 2015 when Midd's schedule came out. I imagine the schedule is pretty much set and it better include AT LEAST 2 Liberty League teams which are legitimate driving distance like Skidmore, RPI or Union. Maybe a Keene St who they used to play or a Plattsburgh st but that would be a stretch. I would imagine the players have been putting pressure on Saward to fix this issue. We will see if this happens as I believe Saward has only 2 years left so he might not care and choose to play these weak VT teams that re so close mileage wise. They cannot drop Castleton St and Norwich who they have always played and are relatively down the road. The others must GO.

Looking at the list I am surprised to not see some big name schools on here.

Montclair State, Etown, Lycoming, Dickinson, Eastern, Rowan, Swat, Muhlenberg, Salisbury, Middlebury, Gordon, Oneonta State, Loras just to name a few.

Any information on any of these schools? I would be very surprised if none of them had any top recruits.   

[gustiefan04]

Rumor has it that Ohio Wesleyan got a commitment from a two time high school AA selection, central midfield player...

Not sure of his name, but I heard from another OWU recruit...

Some coaches just do not publicize or care to punlicize their recruits to the different sites. Just ask New England supporters of D1's like UCONN and BC..Ray Reid and Ed Kelly are notorious for not releasing any recruits until the last possible day
