SBUfan started the discussion about the preseason polls back in May. My comment from then has not changed: "Bogus. The Seawolves finished in the Top 20 last year. With the addition of Coker and a few other top transfers, and the return of key players, even 15th is suspect. But 24th is just plain whack."
As for Cruz's transfer, there are two ways of looking at it. It would of course have been nice to have a Hansen winner stay on the team...that's a no-brainer. But the fact that a team is so stacked that a HANSEN WINNER would be taking a back seat to two other running backs is quite a luxury for any FCS team to have.
