So you've already seen it, but

Here's the release about the preseason picks from the ADs and coaches.

The picks were:
1. Bucknell
2. Lehigh
3. American
4. Holy Cross
5. Colgate
6. Lafayette
7. Navy
8. Army

And the all league team is...

Andre Ingram, So., G, American (POY)
Kevin Bettencourt, Jr., G, Bucknell
Charles Lee, Jr., G/F, Bucknell
Chris McNaughton, So., C, Bucknell
Kevin Hamilton, Jr., G, Holy Cross

Just for giggles, here's what the preseason poll looked like at the beginning of last year:

1. Holy Cross
2. Lafayette
3. Colgate
4. American
5. Lehigh
6. Bucknell
7. Navy
8. Army

Hey, at least they were right about Navy and Army!

Let's play a fun game that I usually lose. Here's my preseason picks, I probably can't be any more wrong than the league officials, at least:

1. Bucknell - good young talent, but they were streaky last year. If they can show some maturity, they will be the onees to beat.
2. AU - Andre Ingram is going to get all the attention on defense, freeing up Lekavicius. The season is on his shoulders, not Ingram's.
3. Lehigh - They have Olivero to score points for them, but who's going to get him the ball? Whether or not Joe Knight is any good will determine where they end up. Development of Mbegroff as a 5 is the other key.
4. Colgate - Hell, why not? The Chones have shown flashes that I haven't seen from any of the teams below, and they are one of the more athletic teams. Everything from here is pretty much a crap shoot.
5. Holy Cross - Welcome to a conference with scholarships fellas. Try to keep up.
6. Lafayette - LC begins their slow march towards the bottom.
7. Army - Only above the USNA because my parents are IU class of 76 so I have a soft spot for Coach Crews.
8. Navy - New head coach Billy Lange is a good recruiter, it seems, but none of his recruits are there yet.

Andre Ingram is a questionable POY, in my opinion. Kevin Bettencourt, who has a year of experience on Ingram, is a real close second, and may end up with this thing by the time the season is over. Here's what I think the postseason all league roster is going to look like:

L Lekavicius, PG, AU (POY) - this is out there, I know.
Ingram, AU, SG
McNaughton, PF, Bucknell
Olivero, Lehigh, SG (IMO the only real mistake in this years preseason all league roster is that he isn't on it)
Bettencourt, SG, Bucknell
Matt B, fake journalist/muckraker, AU

When the postseason all league roster comes out and I'm not on it, please send letters to the league office.  @ 4:00 PM
