And you sound like a pretty reasonable person. So please don't take my previous post too hard as it was more directed at Big Papa's pop-off.

It has more to do with questions surrounding the other programs (UNI and ISUr) more than Evansville actually impressing anyone.stl scooter wrote:bleach wrote:2nd this year?
Should be Aces but won't be (Marties system).
Redbirds....loss of Lynch makes this much less likely.
UNI....Jake makes this much more likely.
Loyola....doubtful but possible just because of one special player.
Prediction....UNI.
I'm curious why it "should be Aces?"
Most Valley fans have said that the only Ace(s) they would trade to have on their team would be Egidijus or maybe DJ.
If you use VerbalCommits.com as a template, only 2 players for the Aces received a ranking above 2 stars (lowest). UE almost never wins recruiting battles with other Valley teams. When the Aces sign a player, he chooses them over Horizon, MAC, or OVC teams.
My point is, with very little talent each year, if the Aces finish in the top 5, it would be because of Marty's system.

I think the biggest factor with him leaving isn't so much his stat line, but the X factor he provided in that he had to be accounted for by whoever we were playing via double teams and offensive game plans against the birds. That said, he was still prone to foul trouble which was a big negative. Hopefully what we are bringing in will be adequate, but regardless it's just going to be tougher to win games because of the X factor he provided. There is still a lot of promise with the development of our younger talent. I really like the way Paris Lee has been progressing. I think he is one of the best PG's in the conference and very overshadowed because FVV is such a good player. One consistency with good teams in the NCAA is a really solid PG and I think Lee will keep getting better.
