Hector Rosario, 6’3 Jr., Voorhees. 2020-21 HM All-American and Aii All-Conference. 11ppg, 5.5rpg, 2.1apg, 1.3spg last season. Led the Tigers in all four categories.

Matt Simpson, 6’0 Sr., 2020-21SSAC 2nd Team All-Conf. 2019-20 All-American. Matt is just a few hundred points away from being the all time leading scorer at Florida College. 

Phat Cleveland, 6’0 So., 2020-21 2nd Team All-SSAC and SSAC Freshman of the Year. Phat really compliments Matt Simpson well and both provide the Falcons with a great backcourt.

Favorites to Win CAC:

Voorhees – A team that was 3-9 on the weird season headed into last years postseason. While you may think that is crazy to call a team with that kind of record a contender, they actually competed hard and looked good in the NAIA Opening Round last year. They lose Malik Wood, who went off in the NAIA Opening Round as well as All-Aii performer Staten Levine, but Coach Huff does a great job and when you have a unique league, it takes some experience to be able to navigate it and Voorhees will come in as the team to beat.

Florida College – The Falcons, after being middle of the pack, in the VERY tough Southern States Athletic Conference, start their first year in the CAC.  With no disrespect to the CAC, they should jump in as the heavy favorite to win the league. The Falcons are a smaller squad, but have great guard play back in Matt Simpson and Phat Cleveland. Cleveland was the SSAC Freshman of the Year last year while him and Simpson were both 2nd team All-SSAC. Simpson was also a HM All-American 2 seasons ago. New additions Chinedu Okonkwo (Wayland Baptist) and Jashavius Perdue (Wallace CC-Selma) are coming off good seasons at their previous programs and if it can translate over, this Falcon team will be tough to beat in the CAC this season.

Other Contenders:

Washington Adventist – WAU lost one of the better coaches in the NAIA in Patrick Crarey. They are also coming off of a season where they didn’t have a season. Hard though, to not include a program who has been so good over the past few years. Coach Jerry McFarland moves into the head coaching chair and you can best believe that this team will be competitive this season!

Sleeper Team: 

Crowley’s Ridge – While K.J. Corder returns, the Pioneers lose All-Aii members,  Montrel James and Kyle Moore. They do get Stud Sophomore, Bo Roberson back. He didn’t play the 2nd half of the season last year, but averaged 17.4ppg in 14 games played. This is a super young squad that is going to have to rely on Freshman to carry the load, especially on the inside.
