I was just making a bit of fun at Z8-Minuteman. I think UMass will have a very strong team this year. Merely trolling the trolls.

Bona Wolf - Welser can certainly change his Predicted Order before his preview of any given team is published.

As soon as Xavier and Dez parted ways, Joel Welser should have published his Xavier Preview as soon as possible, giving the Musketeers the next available ranking number. Joel chose not to.

The Dez Wells news broke on Tuesday August 21st, 2012.

On Wednesday August 22nd, Joel Welser published # 80 La Salle Explorers, who should finish ahead of Xavier this season.

BTW, Xavier freshman Myles Davis has already been ruled academically ineligible for the 2012-13 season, while the academic status of Jalen Reynolds for the upcoming season is still unknown/unpublished.

I agree.

One again you prove how much of an idiot you truely are. Can he adjust the write up with most current information - yes, sure he can, but once he starts posting his list, he can't just rearrange it on the fly - yes X moves down, but to where? And is is possible that other teams have undergone a change or two since he started his list? You gotta move them too - right? Or is it just X that needs to be adjusted. You can't just "plug them in as soon as you found out the news," that is even less accurate.

For crissakes - Get over the f-ing fact that a preseason opinion poll includes Dayton coming in behind Xavier (again). I am still (almost 100%) certain that they actually have to play those games to find out what will really happen - right? isn't that why you only have one A-10 actual Championship banner to hang next to the 8 or 9 "Preseason Champ" banners you have claimed?

What would be most funny now is that after reading your pissing and moaning about this, that X still finished ahead of your Flyers. NOBODY else seems to care about where X shows up on this list EXCEPT YOU - do I need to spell it out any more clearly!

PLEASE GOD somebody quote this so idiot-boy can read this since I am on his (over 100 poster) ignore list.

Of course you do. I think I'll save any prediction I may make until a day or two before the tip off, even if it doesn't cost me anything to make them right now.

Yes.

He's hedging his bet for a reason.

In 2009-10 he picked Dayton to win the conference and go to a Sweet 16. They promptly disappointed him at 8-8 and NIT
.
In 2010-11 he liked them to go to the NCAA. Again NIT.

In 2011-12 he put them down to #120 and CBI/CIT. They overperformed to make the NIT.

I could understand if he's a little leery.

OMG! Harvard is next after Umass, but they just lost one of their best players last week so Wesler better just redo his entire rankings! His credibility is non-existent! He is a fraud!

What was that muddy? It is Ok to leave harvard right where it is? Oh, Ok, they just need to move X backwards? Oh, ok..

INVALID INVALID INVALID

In reply to the post above (paulxu) and specifically to his Muddy Quote - Once again Muddy must be assuming that NO OTHER team has improved from the previous season and that maybe, just maybe, this is still an acccurate accounting for their team.

Very good analysis, SpiderDave.

On the other hand, Welser has now proven to be a hack with no credibility. It is absurd and out of hand to rank St. Joes ahead of us. Less talent, a worse coach, and have proven even less than we have. I just don't get it, I'm at a loss for words.

UMass Record Last year: 25-12
SJU Record last year: 20-14

UMass Postseason Record: 3-1
SJU Postseason Record: 0-1

UMass' Potential NBA Talent: PG Chaz Williams, SF Raphiael Putney, C Cady Lalanne
SJU's Potential NBA Talent: SG Langston Galloway, C CJ Aiken

UMass' Quality Supporting Cast: SG Jesse Morgan, SF Sampson Carter, PF Maxie Esho, PF Terrell Vinson
SJU's Quality Supporting Cast: PG Tay Jones, F Ronald Roberts Jr, PF Halil Kanecevic

UMass Coach: Derek Kellogg
SJU Coach: Phil Martelli

Overall Record Advantage: UMass
Postseason Record Advantage: UMass
Superior Talent Advantage: UMass
Depth Advantage: UMass
Coaching Advantage: UMass

I understand how a few people could pick St. Joes ahead of us, but to be this unanimous is appalling. The evidence clearly favors UMass. If you have to put a Philly team ahead of us you might as well put La Salle, because they too, are better than St. Joes.
