congrats to fairbank on his 2nd Wooden d3 title. too bad you couldn't pull off the double with the Cuse-- that would have been pretty cool.

275 - the highest point total ever for this list. congrats fairbanka. quite the acomplishment. DIII wooden is as tough as its ever been and to amass that record over the last 10 seasons is amazing.

here's what SUNY Maritime has done:

in 10 seasons:
9NT's
S16 9 times
EE 8 times
FF 6 times
1 championship

the one season he missed the NT? he won the PI. i cant speak for IBA. but wooden is one of the top two (if not most difficult) DIII's in HD. and fairbanka is dominating it. congrats again.

i actually think Maranatha's run is just as impressive... he has 264, but missed the postseason entirely 10 seasons ago... I won't be surprised if one of them goes higher next season.

9 NTs

8 S16s

7 E8s

3 FFs

1 runner-up

2 Championships. solid.

If anyone is looking for a dynasty job I Mt. St Joes this year to head on over to the Upstate Conf. MSJ is still setup pretty well and I would hate to see a Sim come in and just ruin them. Anyway I hope MSJ gets a coach.

WCTSt is going to have a drop-off this upcoming season :(

We have done some poor recruiting the past 2 seasons and it catches up with us this year :(

i'll believe it when i see it. have you taken over jj's role as Chicken Little?

As always, thanks for doing this wronoj. I'm gonna keep doing everything I can to stay on this list. Brings a sense of accomplishment to everything I've done here... or something

What Maritime and MBB have done the past 9-10 seasons is just amazing. No doubt one goes higher than 275 after this season. If I had to guess one, it would be MBB. With that 9-19 season being replaced with what will probably be another deep tourney run, I wouldn't be surprised if Norm's team was at the top of the list after this season.

Is it me, or are a significantly smaller number of D2 guys dropping this year? I waited on 4-5 guys, couldn't take it anymore and just grabbed best available D3 last night... and none of my D2 targets have dropped yet as of this morning.

Thanks to those who wished me well, but all told, I'm kicking myself over being eliminated early with that squad.

I thought it was about normal, bradshaw. I had about the same number of DII guards on my list, and all but one has now dropped. And the guy who didn't was one of those "do you believe in miracles, coach?" guys. I though the quality of post players was pretty mediocre even at the DII level.

I believe the big difference is that the size of the recruit pool seems smaller...so there are less guys who are dropping. But I think the proportion is roughly the same.

WCTST is in a serious decline :(

We have an overall team rating under 500 for the first time in about 20 seasons. Poor recruiting = Coach's fault.

having teams start the season in the mid 500's was the norm, but with FSS, starting the season around 500 is normal. you're a tad low, but most of the top teams are in the 510 range.

PLUS you've got NINE underclassmen so no one is throwing you a pity party just yet!
