Atlantic 10 Predictions

I recently got a chance to catch up with Alex Woodrow before the season and he told me really wants to win this one

Right you are

Did Richmond bring in any recruits this year? How will their top 7 stack up against others in A-10?

Fordham got a surprisingly good recruiting class distance wise. The weakest recruit for them is a 4:18 miler. Should be interesting to see how they pan out.

Just took a look at their recruits and I'm actually really surprised. They rarely get distance recruits like this. First and second at the NYS Fed Championships. A ton of sub 4:18 and 9:20 guys.

How are the recruiting classes of the other schools?

Richmond recruits....

4:30/9:50 miler

4:30/9:45

4:30/9:45 (yes 2 of them)

4:30/9:40

Unfortunately it looks as if the curse of having no track program is already catching up to Richmond. Just two years ago they signed several sub 9:30/4:25 guys. It's a shame things have changed so quickly. What will happen to the team two years from now when all of the men who were around when track was cut have graduated?
