13. Furman Paladins

2018-19: 25-8, NIT First Round

The Paladins entered the national rankings for the first time in 2018-19, and are poised to remain a SoCon contender next season. They lose one of the country’s best big men in Matt Rafferty, but return four other players that started regularly last year. That includes point guard Jordan Lyons, who turned into a big-time scoring threat in an expanded role last year. Rising juniors Clay Mounce and Alex Hunter provide a sold nucleus around Lyons, as does versatile forward Noah Gurley, who was an important contributor as a freshman. The defense may dip without Rafferty, but count on Bob Richey to produce another solid, efficient team.

If Gurley and Mounce can be as consistently good as they were in a handful of individual games this past year, and Lyons continues to do his thing, we have a chance to be very good. That's before you even get to Hunter, Bothwell, Slawson, the freshmen, etc.

About Us

GoPaladins.com is the latest iteration of The Unofficial Furman Football Page. Launched in August of 1996, The UFFP welcomes fans of all FCS football teams - and fans of the more inferior sports, too - for discussion, cameraderie, and even the occasional smack talk.

For example, Furman has nearly twice as many Southern Conference football championships as the next best SoCon member, and over three times as many as The Citadel....which is why they must carry our luggage
