Nick Zeisloft has made major strides this off-season. I see him being one of the best 3 point shooters in the league. I actually think our backcourt as a whole will be better than last year.

Before people think I'm going straight homer, I see major questions in the frontcourt that will need to be answered positively for the Birds to avoid Thursday.

He might be good, but you have a crowded backcourt. Also, I don't think he is the caliber of the other five listed, but he might before he graduates.

The backcourt is crowded, but I feel comfortable predicting Zeisloft as a major contributor and probable starter. I agree that he isn't a top 5 guy yet. Just trying to give some info on our roster of unknowns.

If you mean Green, I personally don't know where he's going to crack the lineup. He can really, really shoot the ball, but I just don't see him taking minutes from Cotton, Baker and Wessell, especially if Early is going to spend some time at the 3.

Mention all you want. I used the criteria of returners only as it is FAR too difficult to say that one of the two dozen 3-star recruits is going to be THE guy. I haven't seen enough (or any) of the guys on my own team let alone the guys on everyone else's.

Zeisloft is an amazing shooter and I think that Lofton has a big year

There are lots of amazing shooters and good JUCO transfers. Why are yours special?
