The presumed unbiased opinion of the consensus, assumed it is based in some sort of knowledge, should always be given heavy consideration.

What I read from this is that those in the know think this is a 6 team race and there is no clear front runner. I will be surprised and disappointed if we finish next to last. I expect us to be top 6.

The Dye injury is significant. Not alot of talented depth in the front court.
In terms of the season, we've had a lot of talented coaches cycle out of the league the last few seasons, which should hopefully lead to the league coming back to us some. If we can achieve a .500 league record, that would obviously be a positive sign.
The injuries will continue to be an issue I'm afraid. One of the many flaws in running a high intensity full court defense. You have to practice that way, and it will cause the injuries to be more frequent. Bucky wants to play fast because more possessions leads to more shots which I believe he thinks he can leverage to keep more players satisfied and attract more quality players. Cardet is obviously a talented player, just not sure how many of these portal guys are. We'll see.

Another preseason SoCon assessment. Samford is in the “not awful” category. We are moving up!!
Tier 1 (could win the league) --> Furman, Chattanooga, ETSU, Wofford, UNCG, Mercer
Tier 2 (not awful) --> The Citadel, VMI, Samford
Tier 3 (awful) --> Western Carolina
