Moore won it in a pretty weak and young American conference last year.

He did beat out one small piss-and-vinegar point guard who had a damn good season and is now a borderline NBA player.

3 out of the 10 players on the preseason all American team and we are number 2! Means everyone knows we have the talent but don't believe in the coaching....hahaha I don't care it's the preseason haha but interesting to me

I don't know if that's quite what it means. It means we have a bunch of newcomers on the roster that are expected to play big roles and chemisty could be a question mark.

In all honesty - who cares?? The only thing that matters is Ws and Ls. Lets just hope there are way more W's than Ls.

I think Boat was snubbed, tbh. He deserved it.

He had no shot with the team finishing 6th out of 11 teams unfortunately, no matter how deserving.

is it me, or does DHam look a lot more muscular this year compared to last? hopefully that work in the weight room makes it work for the court....

 

[intlzncster]

Every time I see that kid in just struck by his exceptional hair. Just great, great hair.

Skipped leg day though

He's up 5 pounds based on this year's roster compared to last year's (190 to 195).

Just not the same around here without JC. He'd be pushing 208 according to Jim at least.

Is it me or is Rodney really 6'2"?

@kobe how do you feel about Gary Clark? He was my pick to share conference player of the year along with D-Ham. Are people sleeping on him or is he just not there yet? I think the kid has a big time year.

 

[Doheny]

With arms like that, Brimah doesn't need a selfie stick.

He's close but not to that level yet. He averaged around 8 and 8 last year, so for this year I foresee him at somewhere around 11-12 points and 8 rebounds. His biggest "problem" will be that his front court mate Octavius Ellis was picked as 1st team All-AAC. I think it is much more likely that Ellis wins POY than Clark. However for his junior and senior seasons: watch out.

 

[Danzz]

No Purvis? Wow

As long as he is 1st team at the end of the season. He probably didn't deserve it a

Hamilton looks to be 3"-4" taller or a foot taller if you count the hair.
