Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 2365255, member: 780"] At this point in the pre-season, voters can only depend on a line they draw from last year's team. "Here's what they had" and "here's what they lost" seems to be the baseline. Then they add in their PERCEPTION of the strength of the incoming players. SU fans were given an education on the benefits and downsides of Grad transfers last year. It really is like Forest Gumps "box of chocolates, especially for players coming into JB's rather unique system. Almost all of the judgements of the incoming freshmen is based on rumors, impressions and performance of these guys against other high school players. I am having a hard time assessing how effective this team is going to be given the SNHU's level. But I, for one, am very encouraged. I think the poll voters have got it wrong. You can't give JB this much size and basic talent and not expect the team to make some noise as the year progresses. [/QUOTE]
