I had heard that St X has a handful of really talented freshmen who won’t even dress on the freshmen level this year. If true, this could obviously play a factor.
Another thing to keep in mind: St X was without 5 key pieces on defense, 4 of which would likely start in the secondary. Dantoni, Karem, Gerhardt, Dorsey. On the DL: Bruner. Some good players that will be back.
