Chalk Talk A10 Predictions

[MADXSTER]

http://collegechalktalk.com/conferencenotebooks/atlantic10/index

1. Xavier- Big Storyline: Can Monmouth transfer Travis Taylor (F) adjust from the NEC to the A10 and can the talented Justin Martin (F) shake off the rust after each sat out last season to provide production for Chris Mack and give Naismith candidate Tu Holloway (left, courtesy Bob Stevens) even more weapons at his disposal?

A10 Coaches and Media said: First place. Xavier is the surefire bet to win the league again this year and should be a top 25 team all season long. This was an easy pick given the talent returning as well as that arriving in Cincy.

2. Temple
3. George Washington
4. St Bonaventure
5. St. Louis
6. Richmond
7. St Joseph's
8. Dayton
9. Rhode Island
10. UMass
11. Duquesne
12. Charlotte
13. Fordham
14. La Salle

Think St. Louie will be pretty darn good. I like them as #3.

What the...? You guys are nuts.
I have it on good authority that Dayton is the pre-season A-10 champ.
You all need to catch up for chrissake.

The way I see it there is Xavier and Temple. After that the rest of them could be inserted at random and it wouldn't surprise me. However I'm not entirely sold on Temple either. Losing Lavoy Allen will hurt more than anyone is expecting. Unless I am missing something, do they really have any capable post players returning?
