Watch these full games (especially the last few minutes of the Poly game) and you'll understand why Ace will be a day 1 starter. And that doesn't count his development and bulk he's already added.

Might be because they lost 8 of ten and look awful doing it.

I think the blame for last year's collapse clearly fell on the seniors. Not sure any of them would start on this year's team, with the exception of a healthy Marcus Evans, and that's questionable. It's now 100% Coach Rhoades' team, and I am so, so hoping teaming chemistry is back. Time will tell. If not, it's definitely on the coaching staff, which I hope it's not.
He was a 4 year starter on a team that so far has 3 guys signing LOI's with division I teams and some underclassmen who will certainly follow. One signed with U. of Maryland, the other with South Alabama (a 6'6" power forward, at 6'8" he would be going P5, he's really good). That is to say Ace didn't have to be THE guy. He got his team mates involved, but when needed he took over the game, St. Frances fans would say, "It's Ace time!" Watch the Oak Hill game. He played against Cam Thomas, 5* kid originally at my home high school. Ace was the best player on the floor, it wasn't even close.

On another note, this season's NCAA tournament will officially be held in a bubble:
Of course, the question now is whether it will actually still be a 68-team tournament, because that's a lot for a single location.

I see some of these games have popped onto google calendar, I wonder when it will update with all games, or what I have to do to make that happen.
CBS:
The 2018-19 Rams won the Atlantic 10 regular season crowd with an impressive 16-2 league record but actually qualified for the NCAA Tournament as an at-large team after losing in the conference tournament. The Atlantic 10 seems to have gotten significantly deeper over the last couple of seasons, though, and VCU regressed to the pack while dealing with injuries last season. Now the roster is in a state of transition. Barring a run through the league tournament, the Rams are unlikely to be back in the Big Dance this season as an at-large bid seems out of reach with such a young team.
Six teams who made the last NCAA Tournament, but won't make it back in 2021
VCU Rams

Still planning on 68 teams with all games being played in Indianapolis at various sites.

I have to wonder what happens contact tracing wise if someone tests positive in the conference tournaments given the short turnaround to the NCAA tournament.
