Summer Shootaround: Atlantic 10

[waggy]

Run down on the conference with a section on offseason storylines, best/worst-case scenarios, a list of each teams most important player, and 5 frosh to watch.

Worst-case scenario: Even if Wells emerges as a star sophomore, and even if some supporting players step up, and even if Xavier freshmen arrive ready to contribute, the losses of Holloway, Lyons and Frease do represent a substantial drop in points, minutes and possessions. Even so, the Musketeers lose talent all the time, but Chris Mack always has his team in contention for the conference title. Xavier always goes to the NCAA tournament, and almost always makes some noise while there. Projecting anything less than that this season feels like folly.

Andy Katz gets it.

Also great stuff on the newcomers to the league. Xavier gets mentoned for all 4 players coming in....they did miss mentioning Philmore however.....he's not a frosh, but a transfer so maybe this section was just for Frosh

Along the lines of Andy Katz's comments...
I was talking to somebody out in Virginia this summer. He saw I was wearing a Xavier hat and said, "I really don't know a lot about Xavier. But I do know one thing, you have to write them in the Sweet 16 when you fill out your bracket every March." Was happy to hear that.
