Wonder if these were made after Stinson left school? No way Indiana St losses their best player and they are rated ahead of Evansville, or even the Shockers.

Mark my words, Wichita State will finish much higher than 9th. Very much a sleeper potential here.

I agree, Wichita St. will get off to a slow start in Nov. and Dec. with
alot of newbies, but will be better than 9th come conference time.

i think Michigan is going to have a solid season in year #2 of the Belein era. I am a believer in his system, and him as a coach. I have followed his career closely as he coached at DII Lemoyne here at Syracuse. He runs a unique system that has proved difficult to plan against. Mannie Harris is a stud, and one of the best players in the league. Gibson and Simms are 2 decent big guys. He had to bring some shooters in so his system can flow at a high level. If they get some consistent long range shooting I can see the Wolverines sneaking into a fight for a spot in the top 3 in the conference,
