Is it just me . . .

My only complaint is that Marcus should be on the defensive team

The A-10 will always be guard heavy. If you're a spectacular center / PF you can do much better. As a guy I work with says, "There's no such thing as a 7' tall walk on." It's just such a rare commodity to be that tall and also talented, we won't have many in our league. Some, not many.
On the other hand, if you're a wayward guard with a silky touch or a guard with warts (missing a key ingredient that can be learned) you end up in a conference like the A-10 who will take a chance on you. Develop that skill and you're ready for the all conference team.

For those that don't read the A-10 board (on basketballboards.net), WH has begun his preseason mussings, rankings, predictions, etc...
Always the best of the bunch in terms of analysis and information.
There used to be a link to the A-10 board from a list of links on this board (prior to the last format change) It seems that all links have dissapeared, or I just haven't found them yet. Any chance of adding that?
