The A10 is now starting to pay the price for losing X, and
Temple. Losing the perennial top 25 teams makes all of the A10 weaker when it comes to recruiting. Little harder to sell a great recruit on facing the likes of RI, VCU, SB, Davidson, GW,
Richmond etc. than it is on playing Nova, Georgetown, X, Butler, Marquette etc. That's just a fact of life. So, yes, the Flyers can still become a perennial NCAA team due to being a big fish in small pond, but will they ever have the players to go deep into the tourney again?
