I had Drexel Delaware and Northeastern in the mix as top 4 with W&M, NU also took a big hit since the end of the season with their transfers. Hofstra and Charleston are going to fall quite a bit. CofC still has Riller to keep them mid pack (and climbing if more turmoil sets in), Hofstra is in trouble with the loss of JWF, Buie and Taylor. They are still better than Elon and Towson but more in line with JMU, who is talented but underachieving under their coach. So as it stands right now I still think Drexel, Delaware and NU are the top 3, not necessarily in that order.

For what it's worth, Hofstra is not losing Buie. He'll be a redshirt senior next season.

That certainly helps them some. Taylor was a huge piece that helped Hofstra realize their talent with their guards. (Hofstra always has talented guards). Losing him and JWF is going to be a huge blow. Hard to say how the rest will gel and perform without JWF. CofC I think is going to learn just how important Brantley was to that team. However with the turnover happening, or potentially happening, they may stay in the race by default.

Are we sure Taylor is not going to get a 6th year waiver?

Taylor is most likely gone but our best big man has been Isaac Kante a 6-7 transfer from Georgia...he is a beast and projects to slide right in the starting lineup...all good at the 5 for Hofstra.
