If I’m not mistaken, Indiana State lost their top three scorers.Indiana State is going to be pretty damn good.

Fisher had one season at SJSU, not a couple. He averaged 10.4 ppg and 6.3 rpg. He then sat out, followed by his one year here with 9.6 ppg and 6.0 rpg - slightly worse but still close.But just a pail of cold water - I've tried to stay positive about Davis, but I've got three seasons of seeing him just being another guy, losing his starting job to a skinny freshman (who can score from all over and gave UW the boost Davis couldn't). Foster, you know, I'm reminded of our transfer from San Jose St., Mr. Fisher, came from a program with a couple seasons of miserable records and never really kicked in for us (not a total washout) - Foster comes to us from a 7-26 Monmouth team (much better the year before). Lieb, could hardly get any PT at all. So, hopefully they'll find what they're looking for here, MVC will suit them, Pedon will use them right and his scheme will fit, etc.
Okay, thanks, I needed that. Back to the kool-aid.
Happy Cinco de Mayo all!
Yes, that’s correct: McCauley, Neese, and Henry all played 5 seasons.If I’m not mistaken Indiana State lost their will be replacing their top three scorers.
They’ve had a very successful portal season. Some impressive players.If I’m not mistaken Indiana State lost there will be replacing their top three scorers.
Easy, pal.K I N Z I G E R not a ZINGER
You're not the only one. No big deal, just gonna take a while for us to get used to. Seems like it "should" be "zinger", no question about that.Easy, pal.
You betcha! Lotta decent players in Wisconsin, not all that many end up in Madison. Probably fair to say some can't get into UW, but plenty of decent guys out there who go elsewhere. All we need is one a year from Wisconsin, another one from Ohio, one from Illinois, and Pedon's good to go.Gotta love this trickle of a Wisky pipeline coming down 39, MadBird! The seeming Ohio wind and the Central Illinois breadbasket lockdown (other than our Fighting Irish flyer) seems like a helluva triangle. Especially enjoy the BIG10 footprint each seems to be developing, and let Powell Jr., Valentine, and Yak butt heads over 2-year Chicago/'Burb travel dudes.
Mal is better off the ball. Banks is a PG.There seems to be quite a bit of love for Dalton Banks here. Why are some convinced he starts over Poindexter? He didn’t do much as a Saluki, not saying he can’t develop at ISU. But feel we owe Mal a little love, he was playing pretty well the last half the season or so. Poindexter averaged 9.4 points shooting nearly 38% from distance. Plus 52-55 at the line which is stellar. All significantly better than Banks. Similar assist-turnover ratios.
Exactly. As Pops and I’m sure Mal would tell you, he feels more comfortable off the ball. One of the themes of last years team was “no true pg,” now, there is 2. That will allow Mal, in whatever role, to play off the ball and come off screens to step into jumpers.Mal is better off the ball. Banks is a PG.
Agree! I’m hoping that the new recruits will help to push Mal, Darius, Luke, and Kendall to be much improved over last season.I'd expect Mal, Lewis an Burford to still get plenty of floor time.
With Will Shaver backing out of his commitment to Belmont this will temporarily change my putting them in the top two.Northern Iowa and Belmont are the only ones at this moment I would put at #1 and #2. Other than that I’m not sure I see a solid #3 I would put over the Redbirds at the #3 spot.
