I'd be shocked if Nana is not pre-season POY.

I think that Colgate or Boston U have the potential to finish #2.

At 4pm ET on Wednesday, PatriotLeague.tv will stream a 20-minute program to announce the results of the pre-season poll and all-league selections. It will also include interviews with the pre-season player of the year and the coaches of the top two teams.
Official Announcement: http://www.patriotleague.org/news/2017/10/17/leagu ...
It is a good sign that Nana's picture is shown.
I'm on patriotleague.tv, but I do not see the 4pm show listed. Does anybody know how to find it?

The Facebook link I posted on the first post of the other thread ("Official PL Preseason Poll") works well.

That was a good program. Overall, I am satisfied with the coverage. IMO, it is an improvement over previous years.
I enjoyed the interviews with Nana and Coach Davis. When I hear how well spoken Bucknell players are, it always gives me a good feeling.
Also, the interview with BU's Coach Jones was interesting. You might want to watch it starting around 16:40 where he talks about what makes Bucknell tough to beat. To paraphrase, he said, '5 all league caliber players, shoots it well, dominant force in the middle, best forward in the league (Thomas), and best player in the league (Foulland).'
GO BISON!

Kenpom.com 2018 preseason rankings:
75. Bucknell
163. Navy
174. Colgate
181. Lehigh
188. Army
224. Boston U
257. Loyola
268. Holy Cross
275. American
293. Lafayette
People have previously mentioned that Kenpom.com tends to be more accurate after the out of conference schedule, but still, it looks like the PL is VERY weak this year.

Kevin Sweeney is a Loyola guy, which may account for him being optimistic about their team.

Bucknell is obviously the favorite and it would be a huge upset if they do not win the league. Seems like Boston could be a legit second place team.

Yes, you are thinking of Kevin Doyle, who posts as Sons of Vaval.

Matt Norlander ranks all 351 D1 teams and slots the Bison at # 72.
Lehigh is next at #157. "Brett Reed's going to prove again how good of a Patriot League coach he is, because this team is going to wind up top-three in the conference despite losing a star in Tim Kempton."

His comment about Reed is laughable. Reed is a great recruiter - and he will have good talent again this year - but he is very weak when it comes to X's and O's and in-game coaching.
If LU can find a center this year - which is a big question mark - then they could challenge for 2nd despite Reed's coaching.

I see Kempton landed in the Spanish First Division. He should do well.

Thus far he is averaging 8.8 mpg, 3.3 ppg, and 2.8 rpg. Has taken 17 shots in 34 minutes. Team is 2-3.

I'll be surprised if Lehigh finishes higher than 5th. They have no front court and consistently under achieve. For some reason, they seem to have a lot of injury issues as well.
