2006-07 Preview: Lafayette Leopards
Friday, November 3rd, 2006Forgive Lafayette fans if they’re looking a little too far into the future. This year’s incoming freshman class is Lafayette’s first group on athletic scholarships, and it looks like Fran O’Hanlon’s squad will be back in the Patriot League mix in no time. Meanwhile, there’s a season to play this year and the Leopards are undermanned to compete in the league. Sophomore point guard Andrew Brown is back after flirting with transferring, but 2005-06 leading scorer and rebounder Andrei Capusan is graduated and the upper-echelon frontcourts of the league tower over Lafayette’s. The Leopards have some talent in place and have the always-dangerous O’Hanlon, but it will be an uphill battle to be competitive in the Patriot League this year.
