14. Fordham Rams (Tier-5)

Another season, another prediction of the Rams finishing in last place. It’s tough to say what the answer for saving this program is, but we can be sure that it’s not going to be found this season. With GW and St. Joe’s undergoing coaching changes, it was looking like the door might be open for a slight improvement for Fordham, but sure enough, Nick Honor (15.3 points, 3 assists) decided to transfer within a matter of days of those developments.

Between Honor’s departure and the graduations of Jesse Bunting and Antwon Portley, what’s left of the roster is simply not going to be enough to win games. After finishing 4-14 two seasons ago and 3-15 in this previous one, the Rams have a real shot at continuing that downward trend in ‘19-20. Jalen Cobb and Chuba Ohams are respectable players, and three-star commit Joel Soriano has promise as an athletic 6’9” rim protector, but none of them will be enough to finally resurrect the corpse that is this Fordham basketball program.
