Atlantic 10 Pre-Season Rankings

College Running D1

Pre-season rankings are out. Anyone surprised by the order?

I think Duquesne and George Mason are in a league of their own. I'm fine with projecting either team being first or second.

I'm a bit surprised that La Salle moves from 9th in 2014 to being projected 5th despite losing their #1 and #5? What kind of talent are they brining in?

Saint Louis loses #1, #2, and #5 and only drops two spots from 4th to 6th? I know they have a few solid recruits coming in, but this is a pretty aggressive projection based on what they're returning.

I can't wait for the season to start to see how this all shakes out.

Duquesne will take the win, led by Bobby Gasior and their stud freshman Jeff "JVK" Van Kooten. I think Rico Galassi is hurt but he ran 14:15 as a frosh so look out if he gets healthy. They also have two 9:15 is guys coming in and one is better in xc so he may make top 7. Things are looking good for the Dukes with the return of Jim "King" Lear.

I agree with you. I just think the middle teams (4-9) are screwy in the predictions, but I guess they are kind of a toss up anyway.
