Nov 07 2035: Conference IV.7 Preview, part 8 - Penn State/Luther - by AbeFroman on November 29th, 2023

#15 Penn State - PSU escaped demotion last year with a .500 record, but they are unlikely to sneak by again this year. Like Cedarville, they have a bright future with 5-star sophomore Elwood Burgess and two 4-star players, sophomores Fabian Esquivel and Darren Morelli, but this year will be challenging for these guys. Don't be surprised to see this team back in IV.7 in 2038 as contenders, though.

#16 Luther - As we all learned in Ted Lasso, the most common result for promoted teams is demotion the next season. Unfortunately for Luther that looks very likely the case. SG Tevin Christy and C Norm Barber return as seniors and will try to rally their teammates around them, but it's going to be a long season for a team that just doesn't have the height and strength to compete in D1 this season. It will be a time of rebuilding as the Norse have 3 redshirt freshmen and 4 true freshmen scholarship players on the team.

Tomorrow: Top Players to watch in IV.7!

Nov 03 2035: Conference IV.7 Preview, part 7 - Lee/Cedarville - by AbeFroman on November 28th, 2023

#13 Lee - The Flames placed 5th last season in IV.7 but graduated two impactful seniors and saw the departure of their president after only 1 season. The team is a bit rudderless heading into the season, which is a disappointing situation for junior PG Johnny Steiner, who is one of the best underclassmen in the conference. If Steiner and fellow speedster SG Clark D’Ignoti can stay healthy, knock down their shots, and get steals, Lee has a shot to stay in D1, but without a president guiding the team strategy, I wouldn't bet on it. [editor’s note: Lee hired a president after I wrote this. Welcome BillMurray]

#14 Cedarville - President El Jefe is no stranger to winning, but Cedarville struggled last year and unfortunately looks poised to continue their slide down to D2. The bright side is the Yellow Jackets are a young team, sporting two 4 star freshmen coming off a redshirt season. The upside potential of Paul Shepherd and John Schiller is huge and we can expect them to be a menace next year, whether that's in D2 or, if El Jefe's got some tricks up his sleeve, maybe in D1.


Oct 31 2035: Conference IV.7 Preview, part 6 - ECSU/King - by AbeFroman on November 27th, 2023

#11 Eastern Connecticut State - ECSU promoted on the back of their solid defense, but without a president this year (Kauffdaddy?) their prospects are a little dimmer. The team will rely on their speed and inside game on both sides of the court behind Senior Center Ted Sargent. Don't expect the 6'10.5" tower to put up a lot of points, but expect to see him on the leaderboard for rebounds and blocks this season. If ECSU can continue to run their slow-paced game, they could sneak by for another season in D1.

#12 King - With 32 seasons under their belt, president jmvda23 is the most tenured president in the conference. This is their first appearance in D1 in 19 years, but unfortunately, even after winning V.14 last year, the team may only stick around one season. The internationally diverse roster (7 international players from 6 countries) is young with their best seasons ahead of them. Youngsters to watch are sophomores Sebastian King and junior Roy Earnhardt who will look for mentorship from senior 6'10" center Grigor Nikolov. They will likely struggle this year, but their future is bright.
