I really like Belmont's front line now, but depth at the shooting guard position is a concern for me. If one of the freshmen guards develops quickly, I would feel better about our chances.

Drake still has 5 or 6 scholarships open, depending on whether Brodie gets a redshirt for his second season at Seton Hall. Way, way too many unknowns to put Drake as the favorite.
Just curious, how many scholarship do other MVC schools have open? I'm pretty sure Illinois State has filled all of their's.

I think projecting the league largely depends on three things:
1. Returning production which will lead to immediate cohesion.
2. Coaching, coaching, coaching.
3. Portal additions.
The first one is really important. And if you're relying on number three, you'd better have number two for sure.

Cade Tyson could very well be in the running for the Larry Bird Award. NBA potential.
