I was thinking our dominance over you guys was going to come to an end this coming season but after this news I think it will continue.

I dunno. Most of our fans that I've spoken with think that all three will be back. But then again, none of us are Elmore, Burks, or Penava.

I was referring to ODU. Obviously, we have no dominance over you guys as your team is one of the few to actually beat us since we have been in this conference.

My bad.

I have to revise my forecast. With the entire Marshall program thinking they are going to the NBA I may have to move them out of the top half. For now, I'm moving them to #1 assuming those guys stay.

And without Porter, ODU takes a hefty blow. If they can add a down low presence or someone like a Nick King as a grad transfer they could move back up quickly.

1. Marshall
2. wkcc
3. UTSA
4. ODU
5. UAB
6. La Tech

You are way too kind to us. We will have outstanding guards but absolutely nothing up front. Our reserve guy last year is now our starting center. There was one game he averaged more fouls than minutes. We are in trouble.

Yeah, if Jones can inherit some Kermit juice and bring a decent forward onto the scene, they will easily be top 3. But, it is a quesiton mark.

WKU is in the final 3 (along with Texas Tech and Maryland) for a grad transfer post player Tariq Ownes from St Johns who is very athletic and a superb shot blocker by all accounts. Could help try to shore up our lack of experience and depth in the post for next year.

we will probably be competitive next year, maybe even finish in the top 6 or 7 (hey, it's progress)

"This will be the year."

Nate Darling leaving UAB too. A lot of good underclass guys are transferring from the conference.

Hope none of ours do. They got plenty playing time and competed well the whole year. With more experience they could be pretty good.

If LA Tech finishes where you have them ranked there, you can all kiss Eric Konkol goodbye. That SOB better win next season, and he better win big.

Assuming we keep our players Im expecting 3rd or 4th. Marshall and WKU will be tough ones.

Just saw Nick Norton is grad-transferring as well.

Keep an eye on Rice for next year if for no reason than this tweet today from Michael Bloomberg (the former Mayor of New York City).

'My last two commencement speeches were at @VillanovaU and @UMich. Coincidence? Here's to a great game tonight – good luck to both! And next year, keep your eye on @RiceUniversity...'

If Rice makes the championship game next year, I think Bloomberg is going to be in massive demand for 2019 commencement speeches.

LOL. Too soon is right.

clt says Charlotte picked up a transfer QB from Miami who should compete for the starting position.

When healthy, Lee was not a liability. For the most part, he played well during C-USA.
