Who will be the preseason favorite in 2011-12?

[Snapshot9]

I have CU in 2nd or 3rd in my way of thinking. What recruits do they have coming in?

[TylerDurden]

Obviously, recruits can change this:

1. Creighton - They were closer than most realize to being in contention this year.
2. Wichita State - They lose Durley, which is significant, but look to still have the top talent.
3. Indiana State - They return a lot off of a competitive team. Should be in contention for a post-season bid.
4. Evansville - Lacey and VonTongeren are gone, but I don't see them getting worse.
5. UNI - Jacobson, IMO, is as good as it gets in the MVC.
6. Bradley - Brown and Simms-Edwards and the "new coach bump" are enough to keep them out of Thursday
7. Missouri State - Weems is back, but Creekmore, Ricks, Mallett and Leonard are not.
8. Drake - I seem some talent, although not as much as others see. I also see Phelps on the sidelines.
9. Illinois State - Not sure what to make of them. Will have a huge Jr. class.
10. Southern Illinois - what else can go wrong?

I do like Chatman. He really impressed me at the WSU Elite Camp a couple years ago.

I'm most excited in having a healthy Ethan Wragge back.

Dingman is a real talent, let me tell you after watching him firsthand. But he seems to pout and cry a little much. Make no mistake, I would have loved to have him in maroon and this is not sour grapes. To be fair, people say the same about Kirk so we may have our issues with pouting as well. I just hope young Avery can adjust, leaving the bright lights of Branson and living in a land where Runza is considered fine dining.

Is there a thread here somewhere that lists all of the seniors? I can't remember who everyone is losing...
