American’s new head coach, Duane Simpkins, will come into this season with expectations.
The first-year head coach will lead an Eagles team that was picked to finish third in the Patriot League.
Usually, when there’s a coaching change, there are a lot of transfers but that isn’t the case at American.
Johnny O’Neil was the only significant rotation player lost.
The Eagles will return all of last season’s starters except O’Neil.
