League A10 Basketball: news and discourse around the league

As a FYI, I used Torvik's RosterCast tool to remove Martin Carrere and add Zeb and Luke back to the roster and our projected rating jumps up to #28.

Even just adding Zeb pushes us up to #34, which is only two spots lower than where we finished in Torvik's ratings last season.
What happens if you remove Carrere and add Nyk Lewis? Anything at all? I can't imagine Carerre was moving the needle at all, since he didn't play a single minute last year.
 
Torvik's way-too-early 2025-26 ratings are out and here is how the A10 stacks up:

#41 VCU
#50 GW
#67 Saint Louis
#97 Dayton
#101 George Mason
#103 Loyola Chicago
#105 St. Joseph's
#110 Duquesne
#120 Richmond
#124 St. Bonaventure
#138 Davidson
#187 Rhode Island
#207 La Salle
#212 Fordham

And over in the MAC, UMass checks in at #255.
just wait for when we get zeb back😇 or do they have zeb listed? think loyola will be better than that. gw is cooking im trying to tell y’all

virginia at #65 with incomplete roster. will say i think that they’re better than that
 
so grateful there are a10 psychos like Tyler Cronin to write stuff like this
VCU

G Ahmad Nowell (1.5 ppg at UConn)
G Tyrell Ward (9.1 ppg, 2.3 rpg at LSU in '24)
G Jadrian Tracey (6.9 ppg at Oregon)
F Barry Evans (13.3 ppg, 6.8 rpg at Bryant)
C Christian Fermin (4.6 ppg, 3.1 rpg)
------
G Brandon Jennings (2.7 ppg)
F Keyshawn Mitchell (8.5 ppg, 6.8 rpg at Bryant)
C Lazar Djokovic (7.9 ppg, 6.3 rpg at College of Charleston)

Need: Insurance Big

VCU is also exceedingly deep, but lacks clear top-end players. At this point, there is really only room to bring in a player who would clearly elevate the starting lineup (i.e. Zeb Jackson if he gets a waiver). Absent that, the Rams really just need a third center behind Christian Fermin and Lazar Djokovic, given that their forwards aren't big for their positions and playing five out could be a challenge.
 
Maybe Rhody too, though they have been good in the past, and make it a true A 10 again. If Davidson would be the worst team in the conference at 138. That would be pretty good.
they have up side historically also. id dropped dukes too tbh. (and give richmond a mooney or a10 ultimatum)

i meant for the conference but it looks like at this point we project similiarly to how the league finished last year with a higher bottom and lower top
i’ll be the first to admit i’m going a little psycho today. off work obsessing over college basketball. but the average torvik ranking was 134 to finish last year and is projected 119 this year
