Pre- Season Power Rankings

1. Tornarites 
As usual Tornarites managed to rig the draft and somehow got two first round picks (Deano and Justin Flanagan). These two paired with solid help players including Edward Hastings and Drew Bernard should be able to rise to the top of the league. The only flaw we see with this team is that they have 11 players. This means that playing time will be cut for these top rated players, but we still believe that they will be able to overcome this obstacle and be a league leader as always.

2. Meyers
Coach Meyers had a good draft night. With a solid core of the De Binder boys, Joey Femia, and David Meyers backed up by the projected Defensive Player of the Year Nick Boge', we see this team going places. One area of concern would be the big man Charlie Sebastyn. This kid has no shot and is a rookie to the Rec League. If they can avoid giving him touches than they should be ok, but watch out for this guy ruining a good team.

3. Gingras
The Townsend brothers might have been the pick of the night. This power duo should be able to keep the team afloat and with Connor Keegan to finish off their top three, this team may prove to be scary. They also have two of the Battles boys who are always underrated players. If this team can control the turnover battle they should be scary.

4. Dawson
Once again Team Dawson went shooter heavy. Mark Maloomian and Cole Pisani lead by Dylan "the Sloth" Dawson should lead to one of the most three point lethal teams. This team also went after value pick big men. With Cam Battles, Jake Willard and Nick Perry hammering the paint, we expect this team to make yet another deep playoff push.

5. Estes
Arguably the most athletic team in the league this team is going to be based on prior chemistry as almost a third of the team belongs to the Teduits Clan. This team is also super guard heavy with Jeremy Keast, Mathew Cota, all the Teduits and Estes. Guards tend to lead to a solid regular season but being guard heavy also means they are lacking a lot of post presence. We predict that this team will go as far as their main big man, Joseph Ganley, can take them.

6. Coveno
As this is my team, I am not going to make any bold pre- season predictions, good or bad. I think we will be solid but as of right now that's all I'm going to say.

7. Ordemann
This team has MVP potential Nick Poitras and corner touch Wiley Ordemann. This combination paired with the greatest value pick of the draft, Patrick O'Reilly, leads to great potential but we have fairly low stock in them right now. This team is one of the taller teams in the league so that should help out but once again, they're gonna have to show us something before we raise their rank.

8. Booth
This team is probably ranked too low, but for now they're going to have to deal with that. Led by Seniors Jacob Hickman and Jack O'Neill paired with the underrated Booth brothers leads us to think that they will rise quickly but they just don't have enough star power to be ranked higher at this time.

9. Stark
We are looking for this team to be the biggest underdog of the league. With a lot of young bucks and no Seniors, we fear that they will lack leadership and teamwork. But with that said, they have a lot of good players and if they happen to mesh well they could really be a formidable team. Be on the watch for big Peter Eldredge in the paint, he might just be the leadership that this team needs to go places.

10. McNamara
Another young team but with a lot of upside. Brian Scott and Garrett Solomon will be the offensive fire power but they each have their flaws. Brian refuses to play defense and Garrett can get frustrated easily when calls, like they sometimes do, don't go his way. If this team can mask these flaws then they could be a real playoff threat (despite Brian's lack of clutch performance ability), because there is no questioning this teams offensive capability.

11. Forbes
If you ask Nate, this team had a great draft night but we don't see a lot of potential here. Other than Nate and Will Manzi we don't see many complete players. This might mean they all play off each others strengths and weaknesses but we're not sure. They don't necessarily have holes but we just don't see a lot of potential.

12. Hecht
This is the pre- season rankings, so don't be discouraged Team Hect but right now you appear ot be the bottom of the barrel. You do have the projected Rookie of the Year, Elias Jiser, but we've never seen him in the competition and under the pressure of High School Rec Ball so we will downplay his potential for now. If he lives up to expectations, though, this team should have the pieces to rise though the rankings as the season progresses.
