I think you should look at what other teams have returning before you proclaim Fairfield to have the best returning talent. We all remember your statement last year about Fairfield having the best 3 players in the league, I guess you kind of forgot about Mario Porter ( POY) and Dwayne Archbold ( MAAC tournament MVP) , not to mention Kennedy and Flores who were both better than anyone Fairfield had.

As for next year Siena loses 1 player, Manhattan loses only a few bit players and Iona has everyone returning plus a couple of Big East transfers. I think you might want to rethink your statement, much to early to say Fairfield has arguably the best returning nucleus, although I do agree Fairfield should be good, my point is the whole MAAC at least the top of the MAAC should be vastly improved, there are very few seniors players starting for any of the MAAC contenders


I like Fairfield’s talent and I think you guys are contenders this year, but at this point that’s all I give you lets hold off on proclaiming Fairfield’s place in the MAAC until we face each other a few times

Re-read the post Tony. Manhattan, Iona, Siena all will have good players returning, and on paper, if Jeff can keep all his guys happy, Iona will have quite a team next year. FF has some pretty damn good players, and DG is the best player in the league, his contributions go well beyond #'s. As far as last year, I was wrong about Spann, he was awful, but none of those guys you mention were or are better than AD and DG.

Hey personally OMM I think it's great as improved as the MAAC is this year, I think we will be much better as a league next year, and this year is pretty darn good, when is the last time this late in the year that you remember the MAAC having 3 top 100 teams, according to today's RPI Siena 89,Fairfield 91 and Manhattan 94

Should be some great battles in the MAAC not only this year but next year as well

Will the league be good enough to get an at large bid next year?? That is the true measure of a quality mid-major conference. I think it will be good enough.

I don’t know about an at large, but hey one never knows. All I know is Manhattan, Siena Fairfield and Iona all project to have excellent teams next year, So if any one of the four were to break out and have a great year and then get upset like Manhattan did 6 or 7 years ago the last time the MAAC got a At large bid. The other thing is I wouldn’t be surprised to see a MAAC team win a NCAA game. Looks like MAAC hoop fans are going to be in for a at least a couple years of very high quality basketball
