Hello all,
I wanted to post about the preseason rankings. I do not know how they whom ever they are come up with the material to make these predictions, but with all due respect to my Courtland Cougars, and at the same time swallowing my pride, they are no where near the lofty status that has been bestowed to them. This team lost the entire house plus more, and this will be coach Hall's biggest rebuilding job since he has been at the school. SO MAKE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, THE COUGARS ARE IN FULL RELOADING/REBUILDING MODE FOR 2016. Now, they due have a few nice players returning, some who were starters that were injured last year and did not play a snap. The have some super kids moving up from the JV team, and have a couple transfers, but I see them more than likely starting 0-2 or maybe 1-2 depending on the Riverbend game. I think Chancellor should be in the top 10 preseason rankings, maybe taking the Cougars spot, that team is just loaded and primed for a great run this year. They are the Cougars from last year, 4 supper studs all D-1 and a bunch of nice pieces surrounding them. The Cougars are a year away from being top 5 material as next years team will be the one to watch out for. I see a 5-5 season as a good year maybe even eking out 6-4 or 7-3 if they stay healthy. They just have to many youngsters, and lost 23 or so Seniors to graduation, they will not be a pushover, and will pull an upset, they are a program, with a great coach and staff assistants. They will only get stronger as the season goes along, if they were to get a playoff shot, maybe win one, but that would be all. However, I would not want to see them.
