Re: A10 Preseason Coaches Poll and All Conference 2021-22
Slight typo on the all defensive list, unless I missed Makhel's 5.6(!) steals per game last year. :lol: That is obviously his rebounding avg. About where I thought we would be forecast. But there is a lot of rotational continuity from last year, which I think means something in this era of the A10....

Re: Most Impactful Player, Most Improved for 21-22
If we're a good, above .500 team, then I suspect the MVP would be Leggett or Walker. Basically, a guy who took a big jump in production. If we're right around .500 or slightly below, then it's probably Sheppard. He's a nice player, but if he's your *best* player, it isn't a great sign. (I can't find...
