Really? Recruits can't help a team out? Man grillz, you should start telling every coach that recruiting is pointless since it can't help a team out...
UNI incoming class is one of the best the university has ever had and a lot of them will have the chance to get minutes right away. Moran is still there, Anthony James will be one of the MVC's top scorers, Jake Koch actually had better numbers last year than Adam did when he was the MVC poy 2 years ago, Chip Rank, Nate Buss and Chris Olivier will hopefully give us a strong post prescence (and hey Austin Pehl might, MIGHT figure out how to play like a 7 footer, but then again pigs might fly). We don't even know our redshirts yet but we do know that we'll have probably 10+ guys getting decent minutes every game and that depth counts for a lot. Also we have Ben Jacobson calling the shots and that makes us a threat to win ANY game. Yeah a lot of this is speculation but all you're doing is speculating that UNI has no talent which is a far cry from the truth.
Easy there p-state, your new here so you may not remember how the Panthers were going to drop to Thursday with loss of AKoch, Ali and Jordan according to the board. Also, Jake did not have better numbers than Adam had during his POY year, he had better numbers than Adam had as a sophomore, but not Adam's senior senior (when he won). The new recruits look good, but it may take a year for them to learn how to play in Jake's system and get used to the MVC. Of course, after next year, everyone will return except Moran.
And Grillz, don't you worry your head about how UNI will deal with the loss of KA. Heck, there's a lot of posters on here who don't think he was one of the best 5 or 6 guards in the league last year. Can't be that big a loss. And it's not as if UNI lost 4/5 of their starting line-up and coaching staff. I reckon UNI will be better off with an injury to Koch than MSu will be with an injury to Weems. Just calling it as I see it.
. I think WSU, CU and UNI all have the talent and coaching to make deep runs in March in the next few years. Next season should be a lot of fun to watch
